It would be dependent upon how fast the camera can write to the card. A faster card might
might be limited by the camera's ability to write to the card.

I do not know about your Canon, but I and an assistant with CP5000 & 5700
found a BIG difference in write-time with a 24x card, even though everyone
said that the cameras' sofware would never use the difference in write
capability. Don't know if this will apply to your gear, but it was a very
pleasant surprise to both of us.
