How does memory card speed affect continuous shooting buffer speed?

Will having a class 10 extreme card make the time you have to wait after shooting continuous images decrease over having a class 10 card?

thanks

In terms of video, even with Class 10 cards I'd always get the "Stopped Automatically" message. I picked up a Sandisk Extreme Pro 96mb/s card and since then haven't had the message once. I've also recorded for 2 hours straight without the camera over heating or having one problem. I'd recommend picking up a good card, it's well worth the price

I was planning on getting a sandisk class 10 extreme 45MB/s and I figured even that'd probably be overkill, should I really go for the 95MB/s one when it's over double the price?

Honestly it prob. would be, but I figured if I was dropping the money I'd just get the best out. I usually film interviews and can't have my camera fuck up.

80 isn't a bad price, I'm pretty sure this is where I got mine
