Shooting in continuous mode

I make a note with this, since I have not heard of this before, and it may be relevant to more cameras than just the Pentax K-x.
It is very fast, almost five frames per second. The pro Canon 5D does not even have that.
But there was an oddity, it stopped after just three frames in Continuous Shooting mode! That's less handy.
So I googled for a Pentax K-x forum, and the closest thing seemed to the DPreview Pentax page, so I asked there. (It's a good place to get help for any brand.) And I got advised to turn of the Image Correction features, which correct distortion and/or color fringing in-camera.
And that did it, now the camera just rippppps away. Cool, in such a small camera. (Not that I often use continuous mode, but it's handy when shooting action.)

By the way, does anybody know how I can order one of those really colorful copies? (Also featured on tOP.) (Style simulator page.) (The page is slow to load, and has continual music, something I think should never have been allowed on the WWW, but fortunately you can turn it off on the right.)
Update: thanks to Mike Johnston and Dirk for pointing me here.

The continuos mode is largely dependent on the in-camera buffer size. For wildlife a fast shutter and deep buffer is a must.
The 5D is set up for landscape/portrait, so no fast shutter or deep buffer. The 7D on the other hand blazes away at 8 FPS, deep buffer and dual processors. No waiting on that puppy when you want to rip 'em.

I have noticed a similar hesitation with the Pentax K7 which allows for five exposure Auto Exposure Bracketing. In that case, the camera momentarily hesitates after the fourth exposure. I have not noticed this with the Pentax K20D under similar use. One of the Pentax system's otherwise advantages is the five exposure AEB for HDRs.

OBTW, make sure you have a fast card in camera. That can also hold it all up. Deep buffer is one thing, but you also have to dump it quick.

Thanks. Yes, I tend to buy fast cards, though they are significantly more expensive.
