I gotta have the mod strike this down. Turns out there is some kind of buffer limit on DIGIC8 that I discovered when changing my testing regimen to include tightly constrained shooting and account for buffer cache limits. Turns out, the processor itself, not just it's RAM, has some limits. Folks have been saying 160mb/sec bus limits, but that's not true either. I got 107 CRAWs on both cards, and 67 full RAWs on both cards, exactly, each time, again and again when shooting fixed focus, with the lens cap on,

take lens cap off

and fixed exposure. With each RAW weighing 4.24MB.

what?  reality is 37 mpxl RAWS

There's some kind of data/pixel limit, as the "weight" of those doesn't add up to being a RAM/on chip cache constraint either. We're talking 4.24x107? See what I mean, I put out more during my previous testing. I gotta redo this all from scratch and get back to you guys.

The Prograde is a second faster clearing the buffer, btw. So it is faster, but I'm not sure that totally counts here. More to come on the matter.

just take lens cap off, shoot real shots

how many shots?  around 30 in 2 seconds

how long to clear buffer?  around 8 seconds
