Mem card

Advantages: n
Disadvantages: n

...a memory card for earlier Olympus digital cameras, using the ‘smart media’ specification. Virtually indistinguishable from virtually every other Smart media 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 ...
...charge for postage) – the Olympus version commands a price approximately double that. It doesn’t even as though you can see the brand name from the outside of the camera, so why does it cost twice as much? Quite simply, the camera can ‘tell the difference’. Standard cards offer ‘standard’ features – ie simple ‘point and shot’ functionality. The ‘smart’ Olympus cards unlock extra features in the camera – notably, the ability to take ‘panorama’ ...

Card sharp

Advantages: Fast, reliable and inexpensive
Disadvantages: Those blister packs...

...of old cameras. SanDisk have long had a reputation for producing high-quality, reliable memory cards, and even their basic models (which are blue) uphold this... so long as you don't fall into the trap, as too many have, of being suckered into buying a startlingly cheap card on eBay which all too quickly proves to be a pirate copy. The same warning in spades applies with these Ultra II cards, whose main selling point is speed, and frankly I'd advise ...
...data than standard cards from SanDisk or other manufacturers: their 9MB/second write speed is sufficient that I can happily use continuous shooting mode non-stop until the card is full, whereas a standard card has to stop for a breather after a dozen or so shots. This makes a huge difference when photographing animals, sportspeople or other fast-moving subjects. Since the point of a memory card is that it spends its time inside your camera, questions ...

Store thousands of photographs on the back of a stamp

Advantages: Masses of storage space, reliable and easy to use.
Disadvantages: none at all

...is from the boffins at Sandisk and is the 8GB version and it is this that I am going to tell you about. ** A few details first… * 8GB storage space * flash memory card * class 2 speed rating * SDHC memory * Write protection switch * comes with a 5 year warranty * Low battery consumption * And, as all SD cards, it will continue to save all it has stored until you decide otherwise. * It comes in a little white plastic case which is quite ...

The transfer rate is faultless so there is no need for messing around when you get around to sorting out your footage and pictures, it is just a matter of using the old methods of ‘copy/cut and paste‘, ‘drag and drop’ or ‘send to’, the choice is yours, but as this card is the newer and much smarter SDHC type then the speed ...

Bad to see it go!

Advantages: great for owners who have it and Fuji camera
Disadvantages: end of life!

...being made. Whilst the new Fujifilm digital camera series such as the Finepix range now takes the standard Fujifilm sd card: http://www.gomemory.co.uk/fujifilm-memory, owners of older models will then have to rely on Olympus for xD memory from now on. In my opinion, the xD-Picture Card is one of the first memory card formats that was designed specifically for digital cameras. Type-M / M-Plus cards have been developed to allow you to store even more ...
