...memory card market. Developed by Olympus and Fuji, these tiny cards can store hundreds of megabytes of information (or images). When I say tiny, I mean, you could probably easily swallow one - although it's better to put them into a camera instead. If you get out your ruler, you'll see that the card is 20mm x 25mm x 1.7mm, with a weight of only 2 grams - you could almost stick one on a letter and post it.
Don't let the physical size put you off ... ...large.
Prices for the Olympus cards vary from supplier to supplier. I'll take www.digital-depot.co.uk as an example, who, in my opinion are one of the most competitive UK on-line companies for camera supplies.

Advantages: store over 400 photos, good video time Disadvantages: not a huge capacity, easy to lose

A few stats about the card: If you have a camera that is 5,6,7,8, or 10 mega pixels the card will hold 405, 335, 285, 250 and 200 photos respectively. In addition the card will also hold video (with or without sound) and the capacity is anything from 9 minutes and 21 seconds to 1 hour 21 ... ...of camera and the settings on the camera. In terms of size the card is tiny, smaller than a penny and weighs practically nothing.
I have a 5 mega pixel camera so i found the capacity adequate and one can easily click away without having to worry about deleting photos. The video capacity is also useful as it means you can take a good length of film, without having to carry extra equipment.
In terms of fitting the card it is so easy. Simply a click ...

Having bought two of the Olympus M-XD 512 XD Cards about a month ago, it has been a great asset with just having a new baby. Never needing to worry about how many pictures I've taken and the quality of pictures once printed are fantastic.

At a glance the Olympus is not something i find particularly aesthetically pleasing, but this is an... more
My experience of this card is currently only short lived as i only received it 3 days ago, but my its a goody!
Compared to the shoddy 5 year old relic that was my old system (AMD Athlon XP 2800 with GeForce 4 Ti4600) this system wipes the floor with it more
