Igor,
If you feel the SLR/n is writting to the card slowly make sure your LCD preview is set to off. This helps it write faster. Also, I only use the CF card, if you need positive assurance then using two cards are OK but it slows things down also.
Which CF card do you use? It makes a difference because the SLR/n has WA, Write Acceleration technology to help it write faster and needs WA cards to work at its best.
I use the Lexar 40x WA and get a write speed of 4.5 MB per second.
With my new Lexar 80x WA I get a write speed of 5.4 MB per second.
It only takes about 2.25 seconds to write with the 80x.
Go into your menu and find write speed and see what your actual speed is, I'd be curious to find out.
To use it you take three shots and it will tell you the write speed of the last three frames.
I hope you are getting used to the Kodak. Once you get familiar with it I am sure you will love it also.
If you ever have any questions let me know.
Keep posting those great shots of yours.
