I read this weekend that...

...the Olympus C-3000 and C-3030 have a 32 MB SDRAM cache that allows for very rapid serial image acquisition. I misunderstood earlier that the SDRAM cache was to be built directly onto the CompactFlash assembly. (This was mentioned in a prior post in regard to SSTI's advances in write speed performance).

I believe that improvements in the on-board processor of the digital cameras themselves will help improve the end-user experience. Images are written temporarily to SDRAM and then are copied "behind the scenes" to CompactFlash when the unit is idle.

That is a brilliant idea and worth the extra cost of the buffer, IMHO.
