You jumped the gun on the date, AG! This was intended to be posted on  
April 1, no?

If you're serious, I am reserving disbelief.

Is this totally repeatable? My guess is that powering off and on the  
camera while changing cards may have something to do with it.  
Otherwise, I feel pretty certain you're seeing some artifact of the  
testing process.

Given the competitive market for storage, if what you're seeing is  
true, I can't believe memory manufacturers haven't jumped on it: "Our  
cards produce more detail and better colour!" -- not something I've  
seen in any ads yet; they only stress speed as a competitive advantage.
