Few doubts about my Nikon D5100?

I own a Nikon D5100 for the last 10 months or so. Now that I have got very well acquainted with my cam, I would like to do a few upgrades. I'm starting with upgrading the memory card.

I'm planning to buy a Sandisk Extreme Pro 16GB card ( 95MB/S ) Official Product Page Link: http://www.sandisk.in/products/dslr/sandisk-extreme-pro-sdhcsdxc-uhs-i-memory-cards/

However before proceeding I would like to confirm a few things:
1. Will the 95MB/S speed benefit me in Continuous shooting?
2. What is the transfer rate of the cam while shooting 1080P at 30fps?
3. Most importantly will D5100 be compatible with this card?
4.Is 95MB/S an overkill?

A few things you may like to know:
1. I'm a serious hobby photographers and not a professional one and hence can't afford to spend a bit too much on accessories.
2. I do a lot of continuous shooting while clicking birds or sports.
3. I also do HD videos frequently on this DSLR when I don't have my Handycam.

PS: IF you need anymore details, please mention so in your answer and I will Add them to the question As soon as possible

Answers and suggestions are highly appreciated. However if you are only interested in ridiculing the question or my doubts, please don't take efforts.

Thanks in Advance
Cheers

Added (1). @Fotoace,
Thanks a lot. I don't mind buying 8GB instead of 16GB at all. Thanks for the advice. Also yup I mean the same continuous you have mentioned. Only I thought that it will empty the buffer faster than normal card. And yes further more, I'm trying seriously to be a better photographer and M sure so will happen if I get keeping such positive answers form experts like you.

Added (2). @Screwdriver,
Thanks a lot to you too. Actually I ave all those specs on computer you asked for. A quad-core 3.4GHz CPU, USB 3 and all others you asked for. So what I think I should do is go for 8GB instead of 16GB, but still go for 95MB/S because I agree to the point that the card is Futureproof.

How much would a used D3100 and a used AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G (4.3x) be worth?

I'm planning to sell my camera and the lens and I just wanted an estimate at what it would be worth. The camera has taken about little over a thousand pictures and i bought the lens 8 years ago. Here is the link to the lens: http://imaging.nikon.com/...mmf_4-56g/

Added (1). So how much would you think i would be able to get from my camera and the lens if i were to sell it?

Using an intervalometer with a Nikon D7000?

I was looking into getting one of these so that I can do timed exposures of stars, at night

I've tried and failed to get my head round the d7000's own interval timer, and can't get it to do 30 seconds exposures with a 1 second gap.

Does anybody know if an intervalometer also allows a longer shutter speed, say 4 minutes or more.

My Nikon D3100 won't auto focus anymore. Is it the camera body the problem or the lens?

I changed back and fort to auto focus and manual focus. I still can focus manually but I won't auto focus anymore, no matter what I do. But I'm about to send the camera to the manufacturer to apply the warranty but I don't know if I need to send the whole camera or just the lens.

Added (1). Just called Nikon, they won't do any troubleshooting just told me to send the lens because it has the motor, not the body. But still have some doubts because when I try to autofocus it won't make the tipical sound (chh chhh ) that I used to hear from the shutter button. They say that if I send the body and if this has nothing wrong they will charge me for the cleaning and maintenance of it.

I feel bad, my new Nikon d90 has a dead pixel (2 dots on the LCD), what to do?

I was not able to recognize the manufacturer's defect, definitely I'm not eligible for the 7days replacement policy. I have 1 year warranty, can this issue still be fix?
