I find that I hit the buffer all the time with my regular Kingston 2 gb SD cards. They are not accelerated and for the shooting I'm doing now, I'm going to need to replace them. The transcend 4gb card works pretty good. I get about 10 shots before it starts to act up. The Kingston cards give me 3 or 4 and are glacial about write times compared to the transcends. It can take 20 or 30 seconds to clear . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . w a d e h e n i n g e r u s e r e x p e r i e n c e a d o b e s y s t e m s , i n c
