Advantages: Unlocks extra features on camera Disadvantages: Around twice the price of standard media, suitable for older models only
...The description of this item is virtually self-explanatory, and as such, doesn’t require a terribly long review..
It’s a 128Mbsmartmedia card – ie it is a memory card for earlier Olympus digital cameras, using the ‘smartmedia’ specification.
Virtually indistinguishable from virtually every other Smartmedia card of a similar capacity, it can be used in Olympus branded cameras, or independently as a ‘removable media’ with an appropriate reader. Of course, you should be able to use it in other brands of cameras as well, but one is forced to ask the question ‘why’?
As with most ‘original equipment Manufacturer’ kit, it attracts a price premium, the street price for a bog standard 128Mb card is around twenty bucks on Ebay (plus a nominal charge for postage) – the Olympus version commands a price approximately double that.

Lexar Review Review ofLexar Micro-SD Secure Digital 512 MBby
jester.hussler
Advantages: Great ease of installation Disadvantages: Doesnt quite do the job needed.
...Lexar is a good company however to recieve the best a MicroSD card has to offer you are better off getting the Kingston MicroSD brand as they are faster and cheaper!!!
For ranking purposes I would rank lexar not as good as its competitors but the company is always improving.
I personally would recommend a kingston branded card instead of the lexar you are currently viewing on your screens.
Durability wise Lexar is more than worth but for write speeds and other such needs I would recommend a kingston.
The error rate of this card is fairly low however I would lastly recommend only using the card for 15-30 mins at a time.
This is because the performance of the lexar cards have been known to drop drastically....
