I use a Nikon D100. I originally got it with a 4x Lexar 512mb card.
Now I need to buy a 1gig card to expand my storage capacity for traveling,
and the friendly salesperson at my local photo store wants to sell me a 80x
Lexar card because, he contends, 80x cards accelerate all I/O to the card.
I remember trying once a faster Lexar card (which I lost since) -- can't
remember its speed? -- and it did not resulted in faster writes inside the
camera: after 6 shots of RAW, the D100 takes forever to dump the content of
the buffer to the card.
What should I do?
Buy a 4x card? Buy a 80x card? Toss the camera (not really an option!)?
Change girl friend? Buy a 2 gig card? Are those Hitachi 2gig and 4gig
microdrives any good?
