Hi!

I thought so, but I just thought I'd check -- I can just imagine  
future posts suggesting "I read that the M8's going to have no  
shooting buffer, is that true?". ;)

I can imagine that the buffering requirements for continuous shooting  
are amongst the more difficult design constraints to satisfy on these  
camera backs, especially with the jumps in resolution we're seeing  
and the interest in RAW.
