The short answer is NO. The long answer is STILL NO.

Unless you have one of the newer ones that can benefit from a "Write 
Acceleration" cards, but usually a "small" digicam does not support that 
technology.

BTW, IO bandwidth is and will be a major limiting factor of how much 
resolution (i.e. Megapixels) a consumer/prosumer/pro digital camera has. 
Sure cache will come down in price blah blah blah, but it is still not a 
non-existent issue that some of these (30 MPs in your cellphones in 2007!) 
zealots will have you believe.
