Out of the 3 cards i own this is by far the best. It is easy to use has plenty of capacity and i think it is more compatible with my camera than the other branded XD cards.
But first just a few statistics: if you have a 5, 6, 7, 8 or 10 mega pixel camera this card will hold 815, 675, 570, 500 or 400 photos respectively, which is obviously double the capcity of a 512mb card. You are also able to store at least 18 minutes of video on this card (best quality with sound) and at poorer qualities without sound you are able to hold nearly four hours. In terms of size and weight this card is no bigger than any other XD card and is smaller than other model cards such as compact flash, in fact it can be compared in size to a penny.
From my personal experience i have found this card to be perfect in terms of capacity. I have taken it on many a trip and i have no problems taking hundreds of photos and a few minutes of video, without having to sift through them deleting the ones i am unsure about, becasue i have no space left. The card is also very quick to read (my camera) so that poses no 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.
