I would say football has been my most challenging subject buffer wise, when a player starts a run, trying to capture the twists and turns, the frustration when the buffer is full then the player makes a shoot for goal and the shutter release does nothing... I used to carry a second camera for that moment, but usually I wasn't quick enough swapping from a first body with 300 f/2.8 to the second body with the 80-200 zoom f/2.8. I would usually take between 300 and 500 exposures during a match.

I very rarely take long sequences of shots where clearing the buffer fast makes much difference. Also, the D4 at a mere 16MP doesn't generate huge files so I have, so far, seen no evidence that the faster card makes any practical difference in shooting, or more accurately makes any difference to my shooting. I will find out later whether there is a difference when I start looking for Red Kites next spring.

XQD are meant to be more resilient than CF (fine pin connections) and SD (flex and break). Never had any failures but I use the USB lead for downloading from camera.

Try Harewood Hill, hill climb course near Harrogate in Yorkshire. They come very close during racing, I had one flying round me almost all day last time I was there, but my 80-200 is a bit short on the D3. Totally indifferent to me and the racing.

A kite isn't close if you can't get a decent image with a 24-70! Yes I have some as well as a Heron with the same lens. There is a feeding program near Langley Park (Bucks) where I have captured 20 in one shot.

Ah! At Muncaster Castle they do something similar with Herons, about 4pm, a man with bucket appears with food, scatters it on field then mayhem with a sky full of herons fighting over the tidbits. The Herons gather about 15 minutes before the event, their inbuilt clocks must be programmed very finely. Don't know how they cope with daylight saving...

Just clearing out the packaging from my cards and I see there is recovery software available from Sony. Worth a look even if I do have SanDisk's rescue software; thanks Sony, I can't use your software it is Windows only.

Have you tried to use the 'free' Sandisk recovery software? I have, I formatted a card then realised I hadn't lifted the images off it, so I tried to recover using the Sandisk Rescue software I had a code for from my two new 32Gb CF cards. Oh yes, it found the 'lost' files but I had to pay to register the software before it would recover them. They weren't that important so I just abandoned the files.

Eric I now realise you prefer your I.pad to a full sized I.mac , but surely a compromise might help I.e a MacBook Pro best of both worlds
