Memory Cards > XD Card Memory Cards

Not a flexible card.

Advantages: Fast, accurate, good capacity and Olympus extras
Disadvantages: A little bit fiddlier than SD or CF

...near Mount Olympus. No, an Olympus M-XD card is a memory card designed to store data. The xd format is smaller and neater than the more common SD card, in fact roughly half the size. Olympus has marketed it for their cameras, with the plan that it would fit more easily than the larger type of cards. It can be used in other cameras which take the xd card, and other electrical items as well. 2 What are its features? It is a 2GB version, and that ...
...The special features of this Olympus card relate to their own brands of camera. It can allow panoramic shots to be taken, stored and then compiled in conjunction with their own software. It has also been programmed in such a way that a variety of art functions can be utilised when this card is used with Olympus Master software. The memory chips used are fast in handling memory both in input and output terms. A camera user will find this helpful ...

Review of Olympus M-XD 2GM M-TYPE 2048 MB

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 ...

Review of Fujifilm XD-Picture Card 1024 MB

A brilliant card with plenty of capacity

Advantages: more than enough photos
Disadvantages: only really useable in cameras

...problems although my camera is olympus so if it was another brand it may be a bit slower. The only disadvantage about this card is, is that it can only be used in my camera, unlike my SD card which can be used in my PDA and phone. Finally cost, on the high street from such retailers as Dixons you can expect to pay 35 pounds. However over the internet you can easily knock 15 pounds off that and even more if you look hard enough. ...

Review of Olympus 1GB xD Picture Card

* Say XD (instead of cheese) . .

Advantages: Getting cheap now.
Disadvantages: None unless you lose one.

These cards are 2Gb XD memory cards made by Fujifilm, they are the latest in the line of a new storage system. XD stands for eXtreme Digital, the cards are made for digital cameras, plus other devices like digital voice recorders. The cost of these is very competitive, you can buy them for about £22 online. Remember though, this is plus P&P of course. You can buy them on the high street as well of course, but at a much higher price. They are often ...
...20 mm x 25 mm x 1.78 mm, and each card weighs 2.8 grams. You also have the option of going for non branded cards, although I would not use anything but original cards in my camera. You then are safe in the knowledge, that you have the genuine item, and your warranty is still valid. There are two types of these XD cards, M and H type. They each have a slightly different method of digitally encoding, but that does not concern us, they are completely ...

Review of Fujifilm XD CARD 2048 MB

"Someday my prints will come"

Advantages: Loads of picture storage for less than an album.
Disadvantages: Easy to lose.

...64mb xD memory cards by Fujifilm are the best of a good idea. The price is very good at £3.49 from Amazon, plus P&P of course. This is the cheapest I have seen them, you can buy them anywhere but at a higher price. They are often described as the "Postage stamp" size cards, they actually measure an inch by three quarters, or if you are metric 19 x 24mm. If you look on various sites, you will find a lot cheaper, but I would suggest that at this price, ...
...cards were jointly developed by Fujifilm and Olympus. They are coloured black, it is a shame they are not some colour like hi-vis yellow, because if you drop one of these outdoors, you may never find it. They do come in a protective case, which is easy enough to keep in the same case as your camera, my tip here is to make the case easy to spot, although the time you are most likely to lose one, is when you are actually changing it. You will probably ...
