Hoodman RAW Steel 8GB or 16GB memory card?

I've heard these are suppose to be pretty fast transfer rates, in my d70 would I really notice much performance differences to make it worth the purchase?

There's no mention of a transfer rate in your question, and you wouldn't notice a difference in shooting with a fast card anyway, only in uploading to the computer. Eight or sixteen GB is a huge card for the D70 sized files.....;)

Why so serious?

I don't know what size the buffer is on the D70 but with faster cameras you do notice a difference in burst rate using a faster card...

Effron is right on the money here. The only difference you might see with a card like this is downloading. Killer card, but someone with a newer model camera might benefit more with spending that kind of money on a memory card.

I ended up ordering the 8GB card, it just came in and the only difference I notice is in the download to computer. Thanks for all the advise everyone!
