I haven't done a comparison between memory cards... too busy shooting.
I have a Lexar 40X and an 80X and I don't notice any difference. I suspect in practice the same can probably be said for a 'slower' card. I have a hard time counting 60 seconds consistently, so I doubt I can tell a millisecond or a microsecond here or there. Even if a picture took an extra second to save, would it often matter?
Rounded to the nearest power of 10, it generally takes around 20 minutes to download a 1G card using the USB cable.

I may have a used D coming soon. I would need to know what are the best options for digital film media. (I have not followed any discussion about the D as it was not in my plans to get one soon!)
Is a CF card with Write Acceleration a good feature?
Is any card over 40X an overkill?
Should I buy only reknown Lexar or Sandisk cards?
In the absence of a card reader for the moment, how long takes downloading a complete 1GB card from the camera to a computer with USB 1?
Anything else I should know for the moment? Or is there a page or a post that tells all that a D user has to know (green button, etc.)?
Thanks,
Andre
