Ricoh Caplio GX digital camera

Got a new camera:
Products & Solutions | Caplio GX | Ricoh Global

It's fast, to a certain extent, but the main failings are:

Slow write speed to SD card - maybe even enough to reduce it's usability. Choice magazine lists it as 4.7s between shots!!!. I found it slower than that when the buffer gets full, and also because I have a cheapo slow SD card.

Poor movie mode - 320x200. It's also limited to 80s!!! Even with 128Mb card! SHHIT!

Update: July 05. Bought a fast fast SD card from Hong Kong (Toshiba + noname brnad 512Mb). Now writes incredibly fast. Can almost just hold down the shutter and take about 2 shots/second. Too bad about the focus :-)
