As the bigger cards get fuller writing to them becomes slower is my experience. If you are doing landscapes I suppose that this is no big deal but if you are doing some sort of action photography then you have a problem. If you are shooting movies (I don't) I guess you would want a big card. I use class 10 cards but they still slow down as they approach capacity.

Your welcome.. if shooting video's then don't go any lower than a 6. 10 is better and not much more in price on any size card.

Jim,
I can't say I've experienced this as this weekend I filled a 16GB card up while shooting with mY 60D. I also filled up half a 32MB card without issues. All while rapid shooting at a horse show.

Technically, the cards class refers to the WRITE speed of the card. The better cards write faster than the cheaper cards. The buffer is in the camera. When you take a picture, the camera software puts the picture in the camera buffer. When the software has the time, it sends the buffer contents to the card. This is usually pretty fast, however if you are taking pictures rapid fire, the buffer can reach overflow when the write speed of the card cannot keep up.

Jim, do you format your card after writing the pictures to your computer or do you simply delete pictures you no longer need to free up space on your card?

I also entered the contest and have been counting on a free camera from Ritz. I guess now I'll have to wait for Publishers' Sweepstakes to come through for me.
