In theory, it can help to extend the life of the cards and right now I need all the money saving help I can get. I KNOW that this will not affect the cards or the cameras if I swap cards between a D2h and a D2x. It happens to be that I own a D2x so I want a D2hs, which has a stop better ISO performance, can shoot infrared and has the exact same interface as it's younger sibling with a denser sensor (I rhymed!) So, I'm still looking for a D2HS, a 17-55mm AF-S DX Nikkor and a 180mm AF-D Nikkor.
