A good upgrade from F828???

Even though I have spent quite a few K on my Canon system, I still retain my 828. It's still great for times that you do not want to lug all the gear along. :thumbsup:

Burst shot is pathetic on F828. Once a burst is made, it takes up to 14 seconds to flush the images to the memory card before you can take another shot.

I usually take consecutive normal shots after another. Although I need to wait for the image to be recorded then re-press the shutter to refocus, the lag is still shorter than after I shoot the burst. And the response is considered one of the fastest in the prosumer range.

Many digital cameras now have very good burst rates. I'm currently using a compact Ixus 30 which could take ~3fps till the card fills.

Agree. Canon already has good-performing burst modes for 2-3 years. Sony seems to lag in that aspect.
