Lets nail this one;
As you know, flash memory speed is crucial to digital cameras because flash memory determines the rate at which a digital camera can take consecutive shots

This may have been true once (ignoring any bottlenecks within the camera) but is increasingly becoming not so, for example, see the following text (from a review in Steve Digicams on the new Kodak 4800)

Shot to shot time is down around a second even at full resolution and it has enough buffer RAM to handle about four images before you notice any slow down.


The Kodak is by no means the only camera with this kind of buffering architecture, it is becoming standard in digicams.
