Will my camera be able to write pictures faster to a fast SD card or
is the limiting factor the camera?

A sales guy to me the advertised write speeds are for transferring to
a computer.

It entirely depends on your camera choice.

While there isn't a hope in hell that a low cost P&S camera will get
close to the speeds of an SD card, big, 30MPix dSLRs can push the cheaper
cards to their limit.

Does your camera have a burst mode or video mode?

Depends on the camera. Some of them are the bottleneck, others can indeed
use faster cards. Check manuacturer specs.

Actually my 10MP D-SLR pushes my Sandisk Ultra 2Gb to its limts in
continuous shooting, my 2Gb Extreme 3 is not pushed at all. This when
writing 16Mb RAW files.

The Canon 1DsMkII & MkIII would probably be closest but none really.

I have a Panasonic PV-GS300 video camera that takes still pictures.
Does anyone know how fast it writes?
