Removing the buffer from D7000

Does anyone know how to remove the buffer from the Nikon D7000? Is there a company or software I can get to do it?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

Uh....this is a first.

The buffer is like RAM where the camera shoots photos into and transfers to the card from there. Without a buffer, you'd be shooting straight to the card and the card's write speed would be the limitation. You'd be shooting at 1FPS all the time.
 
Buffer upgrade is what I mean. I know you can upgrade the D3. I was wondering if there's any similar software for the D7000 so I can have more than 15 frames before I have to wait for it to write.

What he said. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.
Oh, come one lighten up, Francis. Can't we have a little fun here? Next time you need help with modifying your car and like, uh, taking the engine out, or getting rid of the transmission, keep that JC Whitney URL handy.
 
D3 is a hardware upgrade and I didn't see that Nikon offers one for the D7000. The buffer size is 99% likely to be limited not by software, but by the memory chip they use in the camera. I see the only was of having a firmware to upgrade a buffer is if it offers a different type of compression for the images.
 
Its a shame when you ask a sensible question and get a stupid reply. If you dont know the answer then simply dont respond. There must be a joke thread on this forum somewhere if youre trying to be funny.

If they made the D7000 with the same burst rate as the more expensive models then who would buy them? I think the limitation is done on purpose.

No I don't know how to upgrade the buffer on the D7000. I don't know of any company or software that you can get to do it at this time.

Can it be done. Yes. Anything is possible as long as it is not contrary to the Laws of Physics. Can you afford to have someone upgrade the buffer on your D7000. Probably not. Not unless you have Bill Gates money and the desire to hire the skilled people to design and build the necessary hardware and/or software and then have them do the job. Probably in a time frame that would make the whole thing moot as the next model or two will be out by then.



By the way KmH, this is a good one. http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/beyond-basics/246771-removing-buffer-d7000.html#post2262981
