Fast shooting digital camera

[Cleo]

The speed of the storage card also will affect how fast you can shoot. With a fast card and my Nikon D70 I can shoot over 140 pics at maximum resolution as fast as I can push the shutter release before the camera's cache fills up and needs to take a few seconds to write out the cache to the card but with an old slow memory card I may only be able to shoot 50 pics before the camera's cache fills up and it needs to take a several seconds to write to the card.

Also the resolution that you shoot at will affect speed. I shoot at maximum resolution in case we want to make photo quality 11x14 prints of something but if all you want is web quality then you can shoot far more, maybe in the thousands, and the camera will never pause to write out its cache.
