Later in the day I was asked to shoot the fashion show. Light was low and tricky so shot plenty. Later in the show the card was full. Quickly asked my wife to give me the 16Gb SD from her camera. It was an older Sandisk card. The difference was amazing. I kept hitting the buffer limit. Just had to slow the frame rate down a bit to get the show covered.

Note to self: Pack extra cards.
