Originally posted by David Yes, for example the Nikon D200 has a four channel output sensor, two green and one each red and blue to deliver 5FPS. The D80, Alpha 100, K10D and others use the same two channel output sensor which reduces the FPS to 3.

Are you sure about this? I thought that the main obstacle was the buffer size and write speed.
Also battery power wouldn't be a problem, you are getting one or two more batteries in the grip!
Now all they have to do is release some weather sealed flash with true RF in them which can get triggered fromt he grip et voila! The perfect grip.
Some may argue that this is not possible because of RF restrictions around the world but this is not true, infact the simplest and most efficient solution to this problem is to make a deal with Pocket Wizard, Radio Popper, Elinchrom or one of the rest to use
their trancievers in the grip and in the flashes. This would mean that the tranciever in the grip could be used to trigger any flash with the selected system connected to it AND any other camera could be used to trigger the flashes with one of the selected system's tranciever.
If they do that then we may well get users of other camera brands buying Pentax flashes.
