Just wanted to know, based in your experience, how important is the speed of memory cards (SD) and how it affects camera's performance.
Cards that are slower than the camera's IO capability will present the limit to how fast a camera can output the image buffer to storage.
The D has fairly slow IO, CF cards past the 45x rating make little difference in its ability to write data.
The DS and DL both have faster IO, up to 60x SD cards improve write times. The DS2 has been quoted as having an even faster IO bus, SD cards up to 133x will likely improve write times.
Of course, with a fast card reader connected to your computer, the faster cards will upload image files to disk more speedily regardless of their performance in the camera.
