You're welcome! :]
I know it technically shouldn't be able to benefit...but I've tested it many times and it does. I don't think it's that it can't benefit from a higher speed card (UDMA), it's just that it can't take advantage of the entire benefits? I've shot over 30 timelapses in the past 4 months on that camera with and without the 90MB/s cards. Haven't had a problem with hitting the buffer at a 2 second interval except when using anything less than a 600X card. And to test it, I've even swapped between cards for shooting the same subject matter with other variables held constant (or as close as can be considered constant).
it stinks that the Sandisk EP 16GB is $90 while the Sandisk E 32GB is $85.. but given the current sale B&H is having on Lexar 32GB 1000X CF cards...at $128 a piece.. it's worth it IMO.
