I see so little difference between 60x and 80x cards in the DS that
it would be hard to imagine anything faster as being of significant
consequence with regards to write speed. The DS2 and DL/DL2 models
supposedly write faster and can utilize a 133x card's capabilities,
but I haven't seen proof of that yet.
Transfer speed to the computer is another matter ... a 133x card will
net better than the 80x's 5.5-6.5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a good USB 2.0 or
FireWire reader device. How much better depends on the reader and the
computer itself, I'm sure. Working with my G5 desktop system vs the
PowerBook G3 and G4 laptops, the G5 achieves 5-6% faster throughput
on what are nominally the same speed USB ports, due to the much
faster drives and IO subsystems.

because, in the price range I want to pay, and considering the brands
available in that price range, the 2GB capacity cards are often
faster than
their 1GB counterpart, and will speed downloading and file
transfer. Plus,
I want to see if cards faster than the ones I have will have any
effect on
the transfer rates within the camera. ..
