Nikon D3 with Sandisk Extreme III (30 MB/s) cards baby!

I can run off 15 shots before it bogs down. I could have had the internal buffer upgraded ($500, ouch, but no longer offered) or maybe get some faster cards to help that along.

CF cards are running upwards of 100 MB/s now, with more affordable cards running twice the speed of my current EXIII's. But a 32GB 90 MB/s Sandisk CF is $500! The 128 GB 100MB/s Sandisk is $1,500! My camera won't support a 128GB card though, it maxes at 64GB. I usually use 8GB cards, but I might jump up to 16GB cards to get that 90 MB/s speed. I wonder if I can test one at the camera store to see how much it improves the performance.

But oddly enough, it still only runs 15 RAWs alone before bogging down too.
