For cameras in the 7hi range, you wouldn't see an improvement in processing time with faster cards. In this range these cameras are designed and optimized for jpegs. So, when shooting jpegs, the camera is doing all it can to keep up. When shooting higher resolution pictures (tiff, raw), there's going to be a slow down whether you have a 16x CF card or 40x. These bigger, higher speed cards are targetted toward the DSLRs.
It's like this, in your computer you have memory that runs on a bus at a specific frequency that's set in the motherboard. Say this bus runs at 133mhz. Now getting memory that runs at 166mhz or 200mhz isn't going to speed it up at all. It can still only run at 133mhz. |
