      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?

      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.

      BTW, here are four (4) user reviews at DPReview:
