I own a G9, started out with just one smaller 32 GB UHS-I card and then got two 64 GB ADATA UHS-II cards. I do a lot of birds in flight photography so I require high shooting speeds.

- ADATA Premier ONE 64 GB UHS-II cards are incredible value for money and have worked flawlessly so far. I strongly recommend them.

- I 100% recommend getting two cards as it's highly convenient. You can have it write jpeg to one card, RAW to the other; video to one card, photos to the other; or as redundancy.

- I have reached significantly higher shooting speeds with UHS-II cards. This is a material improvement if you do any kind of action shooting but won't really matter if you don't.

- The buffer does clear much faster but I have never maxed out the buffer anyway.

All in all, I strongly recommend getting two of those ADATA cards.

I dont understand how you get high shooting speeds with a faster card if the buffer isn't full or am I missing something?

The camera writes to the buffer when shooting, the card speed won't have any influence apart from how quickly the buffer empties. If you keep shooting once the buffer is full then yes a faster card will allow faster shooting speeds, but before this it shouldnt make a difference.
