The main difference in speed is when turning the camera on, especially with 
EVF attached. I have been satisfied with the Lexar 600x (I have shied away 
from Sandisk since experiences with the M9) but have not tried every card 
available.....

I 'm sorry to post this again because I suspect it has been discussed but 
inasmuch as neither the LUG Search function nor my internal memory function 
are working very well I'll have to.

I see that Leica suggests Sandisk Ultra or Extreme Class 10 SD cards with 
speeds >30 MB/s.  http://content.abt.com/documents/54249/LEICAM_FAQ.pdf

There are some folks on another well known Leica forum who say the speed - 
both waking and shooting - is noticeably better with the latest and fastest 
cards, which have maximum speeds of 95 MB/s.  I have also seen posters in 
various forii say they get faster speeds with 16GB cards than they do with 
32GB cards.

I'm just curious to know if any LUGers have discerned - when shooting with 
an M (240) or an M-P (240) - noticeably faster speeds or any other 
_noticeable_  advantage to using 60 MB/s versus 95 MB/s SD cards, and also 
any _noticeable_ speed difference when using 16GB, 32GB or larger cards.

Thanks,

p.s. Uncle Dr. Ted is certainly free to ignore this thread.  ;-)
