Busy message for T3i

Hey folks I just bought my first DSLR which is the T3i and I have a problem with it showing a busy message after taking about 5-7 shots with the flash. I have read other places it may be the memory card. I'm currently running a Sandisk Extreme Class 10 card. Any thoughts and input would help greatly! Thanks in advance.

    Hi there,
    Don't worry, what you are experiencing is normal. The busy message comes on when the flash is recycling, it has nothing to do with the memory card.

    Thanks for the info PBked! Will buying a better flash help with this issue?

    Hi again,
    Buying a better flash helps reduce the number of times 'busy' comes up. I have the older Canon 430 ex and, when it has recycled, I can fire a burst of up to 8 shots before the flash recycles again, but the 'busy' will show until it has charged.
