As long as it is in the shape of SDHC, it should fit.

Unforunately, manual only say SD and SDHC compliant. I'm using 8Gb but don't see why 16Gb and 32Gb shouldn't work also.

Haha.. I'm just answering the question. TS asked if it could fit, didn't ask whether it works fine. Sorry, I know what TS is asking but I'm just trying to be funny..

Ya, it will fit, but whether it will work or not is a different story...

I think it should work. Best thing to do is to test on the spot when buying...

Do you guys really need 16GB card? Do you normally shoot in RAW? Just curious...

I think it's not so much as NEED as because card prices have dropped so much, that it makes sense to buy a larger capacity card as they are rather affordable.

A yr back people rather have 2x 4 GB than an 8 GB. Nxt yr ppl will have 2x 16 GB rather than 32 GB.

As long as it is reliable maker and keeps good speed, get one at your comfortable price.

8 GB Extreme III 30 MB/s goes for a cool S$99, while the "normal" 16 GB Ultra II (15 MB/s) can be had for only S$65 at SITEX...

The 30mb/s was design to compliment the D90.. Sandisk Press release

As to whether you need the throughput, is up to the user.. You can check the benchies here

Although it has not hit the max for the card, results seemed better than using other cards.

Only affects the buffer fill rate. The 30mb/s allows you to burst at 4.5fps for more shots than a other cards.. but reviewing images will not have much benefits..
