Ron, I only have my own experience with the Nikon to comment on the need for fast write capabilities. When you say you are taking photos of horses for purchase over the web, it suggests to me that people will view the photos on their computer screen and possibly make a printout. If they are viewing on the computer screen, then there is little point in using the highest resolution (on the Nikon). I just finished some photos at a training session, where the intended use was on a web site. I used the highest resolution XGA setting, which is quite detailed and looks well on the screen. The time between photos, using fresh batteries, was about 2 seconds, including flash recycle time as well. I could still make a burst of about a half dozen photos in that resolution before waiting for the write cycle to begin. The hard copy also looks good, provided that the photo size remains less than 4" x 6". As I get more experience, I find that the numerous choices available on the Nikon fill a good many of my needs. I also bought a hood with 2x magnifier to give me the feel of through the lens viewing on an SLR. Where there's a demand, there's a product. . . .
