If you have a DSLR, then yes, because of the continuous modes, but for a point and shoot, to a certain point. I have both a Coolpix 8700 and a new D70s DSLR. I've been told that the point and shoots cannot take advantage of the ultra fast cars like the Sandisk Extreme/Ultra and the Lexar 80x with the WA technology because the write speeds are not there. My 8700 with a Lexar 80x is no faster than my PQI 40x card.
If you want a faster download, then, yes, the higher speed card will help with that aspect.
