"While the manual claims that the *ist D only supports the USB v1.1
interface standard, my own tests seemed to show that it's actually
running at USB v2.0 speeds. I clocked its download speed at 1963
KB/second with a Lexar 24x memory card, connected to my Sony VAIO
Windows XP workstation. (2.4 GHz Pentium IV processor, 512 MB of RAM.)
This is quite fast: Cameras with USB v1.1 interfaces top out at a little
over 600 KB/second. I've seen USB 2.0-equipped cameras move data as
quickly as several MB/second, but the *ist D's download speed is faster
than average, even among cameras with USB 2.0 interfaces."
That's indeed very interesting. I just bought USB 2 card for my Mac - will try it :-)
