Coolpix 950 firmware upgrade and use of Ultra 11 Compact fla

[yesterdaytoday]

Have my original Coolpix 950 from 1997 and taken over 25,000 photos. I am asking if any of you have tried out the new Sandisk Ultra 11 compact flash cards. One of the few disappointing features of this camera is the lag in writing to the card. Wondering if a new upgrade to the firmware v3.0 would help. More importantly will the new cards improve the time.

I am worried about touching anything, I have never had a problem, and photos are great.

This is my first post; would appreciate any assistance out there.
