Hello:

As I think more about my SD1M (Merrill) camera, and "limitations" (or 'perceived') short comings, I was thinking, for the camera being able to shoot at the high shutter speed of:

1/8000th of a second, (which is pretty FAST to me), wondering WHY (myself of course included), there are NOT many - hardly any "sports / wildlife" actions types of shots, with that camera?

I would say because of the relatively slow AF, very limited AF tracking, slow write times, little frames per second, small buffer and very limited 'auto ISO' settings.

Hello maceoQ: (and others) - 

I am curious as to the comparisons and differences the SD Quattro given all these technical challenges, would work, meaning - has the SD Quattro overall design - been able to create a "faster / more responsive" camera system, covering any better AF, Tracking, faster write times, more FPS, bigger (Quicker) buffer, and more available AUTO ISO?

Thanks for your time,

Have a nice day / evening -

Ed
