I think it is pretty safe to re-assure you that the problem of shutter
lag, which seems to be what you are referring to with regard to 'fast
pics', is *not* dependent on the memory card speed. The time it takes
to autofocus and fire will be unaffected, and if you use the half-press
method you should be fine. Shot-to-shot times may be a little slower,
but if you are shooting jpg I doubt it will be an issue.

There is a significant difference in speed between the two media, but
in real-life terms, I doubt you will see any major problem at all.
