how do you deal with the slow write times? here is the page of the review that made me not want this camera, or the new E-20:

The E-20's write speeds (SmartMedia or Compact Flash) are no better (and in some cases worse than) the Nikon Coolpix 995. The difference? The Coolpix 995 is a a sub-$900 prosumer camera which only needs to write 1 MB or sub-1 MB images, the E-20 is aimed at professionals with JPEG images (SHQ) which range between 3.5 and 2.5 MB.
Waiting 9, 11 or 15 seconds for these five megapixel images to be written to the storage card is no joke. Especially when you consider that the E-20 only has a 4 image buffer; that it does not allow you to change certain settings, enter the menu system, display an image or return the LCD to live view mode until it has finished writing the buffer contents.
