Anyone tried 16 GB flash cards in a Nikon D3 ?

The fastest card will still not work as fast as a D3 is capable of
writing. You might not discover the real value of an ultra fast card
until you discover your buffer is full and you just missed that once
in a lifetime shot.

Even more reason to buy slower and cheaper cards. It's very rare that one
hits this barrier, even when shooting 14-bit RAW, when properly shooting
instead of machine gunning. In the unlikely event this does happen you are
a perfect candidate for the D3 memory upgrade.

Not available in Australia (yet).

I used to use our D3 for birds (Swallows are fun). What you call
"machine gunning" is the normal method of shooting fast flying or
darting birds. Not unusual to shoot 4 gig and not get a single usable
image. The one you do get is worth big payola.

I've hit the ceiling with 40x Lexar cards many times. Even 133
Kingston's will bog when pushed. I would definitely recommend 266x cards.
