Interesting that it includes any internal memory. at 12MP, this can hold what - 2 or 3 full rez pictures?

Yeah, unfortunate that even cheapo digital picture frames come with more memory built-in than "hi-end" cameras.

What, no flurry of postings recommending against Abe's of Maine? I guess the camera is crappy enough that nobody is taking notice.

I got my order (3 x 16 gig sdhc for $70 deal) from Abe's in 3 days. What is the problem?

i agree with number one.. thats pretty retarded but i guess for noobie buyers its like "omg look it also has this" just one more thing to throw in the stat book

isn't it good to have internal memory for buffering?

No, you guys are retarded!

A 12MP JPEG is about 3.3-4.2MB typical (lower compression / better quality -- Pentax calls this 3 star), so it can shoot about 8-10 frames before the buffer needs to be flushed. Figure in a flushing of 6MBps with a Class 6 SDHC and that's easily a continuous 1.5-2fps for as long as you want. Geez.
