Default "fast" compact flash card???

How much difference would there be between a "standard" and "high speed"
compact flash card when used in a 5mp Canon S500 (discontinued) Digital
Elf
camera? A camera store sales person says "next to none" in this particular
camera, but if I was using it in a digital SLR I would notice a
difference.
My main concern is that I don't want to slow down the shot-to-shot times
when taking pictures. I'm not concerned about transfer times to the
computer.

It would be dependent upon how fast the camera can write to the card. A faster card might
might be limited by the camera's ability to write to the card.

Here is some relevant data of dSLRs, but the elf is not on the tested
list.

The salesperson's generalizations are probably accurate. To get faster
shot-to-shot performance, it's probably time to upgrade. You might consider
getting faster storage media now as prep for a later upgrade.

I do not know about your Canon, but I and an assistant with CP5000 & 5700
found a BIG difference in write-time with a 24x card, even though everyone
said that the cameras' sofware would never use the difference in write
capability. Don't know if this will apply to your gear, but it was a very
pleasant surprise to both of us.
