ART What's the fastest card a Canon 1D MK II will benifit from?

I've got a Canon 1D MK II, and I've got Sandisk Extreme III and Ultra's, both 30MB/s, would I benefit from faster cards? What is the fastest the camera can write to the card?

Are you having issues with the camera holding you up because its writing to the cards? Is your buffer filling up and making you miss photos?

If the answers are no, I'd say you dont need to worry about it.

It's not a big deal. I get like 16-18 in the buffer before it's full which I rarely hit, but once I do it takes a while to clear it. I'm guessing the cards are fine since this camera came out in what, 2002? lol

Pretty sure the cards you have are about max speed this camera can write.
