The limitation, is the hardware, not the card, and in this case, the hardware is really, really slow.

Can you be more specific? (NX100 vs NX200?) It's not entirely clear. I agree 100% the hardware's the limitation, especially with the UHS cards.

I just did a test with my NX100 using a SanDisk Extreme 30MB/s class 10 card, and the camera set to SF+RAW (Full size, highest quality JPEG & RAW image) and continuous shooting. I was able to shoot 5 or 6 shots at max speed (Is that 3fps?) then about one shot ever 3/4 second continuous. I stopped at about 30 seconds. The green light flashed for about 6-7 seconds after I finished. Certainly none of the 'locked up camera' drama that I've read about with the NX200?

Point of which is to say, I imagine a UHS card in the NX100 would not perform any better or any worse.
