Shel,
You're right in your premise that I'm not using high speed cards. For
what I do, the inexpensive (read that cheap ;>0) cards have a sufficient
write speed. With faster cards the buffer will clear a little faster so
if one is shooting lots of continuous action there would be an advantage
there and the DS2 might have it over the DS. The faster write speed
*may* also manifest itself in a few more exposures during the life of
the batteries due to the shorter transfer time from the buffer to the
card, but my suspicion is that in the overall assessment the increase
in shots per battery would be inconsequential. For my shooting style,
there's no real advantage to spending the extra $ for faster cards.

Paul,
What speed(s) are the SD cards that you're using?
Godfrey thought that the DS2 could take advantage of cards with speeds of
up to 133X or so, iirc. IAC, if you're using slower cards, you might not
notice any write speed difference.

Shel & Dave -
I've not noticed a major difference between the two in either speed or
function and if there is a difference in battery life with the larger
screen it hasn't been bad enough to slap me in the face (at least at
this point). The larger screen is nice, and is somewhat easier on my 64
year old eyes, though.
