We are in the process of purchasing a new digital camera, the Nikon 5900 (we think!) but have heard many conflicting things about the high speed memory cards. Does anyone have one? Is it quicker? Are you able to notice the speed difference? They are 50% more expensive then the regular memory card and the camera person I spoke to last night said they don't make any difference while a friend swears by them. So I'm hoping for a few more personal experiences before we purchase. TIA Ladies!!!!

I posted this at the lounge too

DH is a professional photographer...
he told me to let you know that speed difference is only when downloading onto your computer, no difference in shooting.
There is an internal buffer in the camera that controls how many shots it can take in a burst.
The Lexar 80x are known to occationally drop an image when downloading.
He's been satisfied with Lexar 40x

Although, for my personal camera (he just bought me a new one since I'm expecting to deliver in a few weeks)
he just got me a regular memory card 1g to satisfy my needs for taking candid of future DS.
