Winsor:
The slow write speeds can be annoying only if you want to shoot several
frames rapidly. It usually takes 1 to 3 seconds. The MOST annoying thing
that you will find after getting used to the OM system is shutter lag.
One reason I reverted back to my OM system is that I was loosing too many
shots waiting for the digital shutter to do its thing. As the technology
progresses, this problem will be solved.

Are the slow write speeds mentioned in several reviews troublesome in
actual use?
