SD Ultra Memory Cards - are they worth the extra cost?

I have a Konica Minolta Dimage G530 5Mp camera. Using SD cards on continuous shutter setting it takes about 4 seconds between exposures. I presume this lag is due to the time taken to load the image into the SD card. I want to get this time down to 2 sec or less. If I buy an "Ultra" SD card (such as sold by Sandisk) will this achieve that? I have tested different photo resolutions by setting the camera down to 3Mp, 2Mp, VGA etc but it always takes 4 sec. So, is it really the card or is it a natural limitation of the camera if so I'd be wasing my money buying a faster card. Thanks in advance, Chris.

| it takes about 4 seconds between exposures. I never knew Minolta can be this slow, my brother's 3mp Minolta is fstr.

No, the built-in microprocessor takes too long to compress image into a jpeg file. Try scan & defrag your card 1st. | If I buy an "Ultra" SD | card (such as sold by Sandisk) will this achieve that? unlikely | is it really the card or is it a natural limitation of the camera take camera to a pc fair / shop where SD cards are on demo, try a "fstr card" & see
