>From my own experience with an E-1, E-500, and E-330, I can say that the E-1 
gains nothing from using a SanDisk Extreme III rather than an Ultra II. The 
E-500 and E-330 gain about 50% by using an Extreme III. I believe that the 
E-300 shows similar gains. I assume that all later Oly DSLR's also benefit 
from the Extreme III. I do not think that the Extreme IV has shown to be an 
improvement over the III for any Oly DSLR, and probably not for any other 
DSLR as yet...
