Aus, I think you're right that the speed of the Flash would make little or no difference in picture-taking speed. The buffer in the camera is DRAM and the buffer on the SSTI controller is SRAM. SRAM is much easier to integrate into the manufacturing process and is preferred as long as the size needed is not too large (also if extreme speed is needed). The DRAM buffer in the camera, I'm pretty sure, is a discrete chip. The difference in speed would probably be noticed, if at all, during transfer of the picture files to your computer or the kiosk or whatever. wily
