In my personal experience, even with 4.5fps PZ-1P the young kid will put on the cutest grin precisely between the two frames :-) >When shooting RAW on the *istD, the fastest cards take about >7-9 seconds per shot to write out.

But, if the figures for Nikon D70 are correct, it sounds to me that larger buffer provides only a partial, temporary workaround. A redesign of electronics to speed up the writing by almost an order of magnitude would be more desirable solution. Cheers, Leon
