lots of space2009-04-17
I purchased this card to go with the Olympus Stylus 720SW 7.1MP. It works really well but I do believe it slows down my camera. However - it does have a nice feature where where it activates the olypus stylus to have panoramic photo options! I loved this since I was in Hawaii I was able to take panoramic photos of the ocean and mountains . It was very useful and came in very handy ! This card also saves a lot of pictures ! Which was amazing since I was not near my computer to take them off !
Great Buy2009-01-15

Didn't Work2008-10-14
This product was not compatible with my camera and I was unable to return the item to Amazon because I did not return the item within the time alotted by Amazon. Also the manufacturer was no help. I feel the product could have been described better. I will stick to big box stores when buying electronics next time.

Wow 620 photos from a single card (1GB)
Remember the cost of printing photos in the olden days?
Small, But Not Big Enough...2008-07-11
Contrary to a lot of common opinion, as a user of xD cards I'm more than happy with their performance. Originally lauded for their smaller physical dimensions, they now seem to be derided for their (alleged) minimal capacities. For me, 2GB is just fine. If I get a major glitch during an image file transfer or in the field, I'd prefer to lose 100 pics rather than 800 pics! And yes; it can happen.

I'd rather use four 2GB cards than a single 8GB card any day, which really negates the "small capacity" argument in my opinion.

Similarly for the xD's often-quoted "slow" transfer rate. Using a card reader, do I really care whether it takes me 3 minutes or 6 minutes to transfer my pics to my PC? Not really; I'm not in that much of a panic! Price-wise, xD cards are now almost level pegging with SD cards - admittedly a couple of years ago that wasn't the case. Nowadays, their price differential is immaterial.

The major advantage of the "Olympus" branded cards is their ability to enable increased burst mode and panorama stitching in Olympus' cameras. Quality-wise, SanDisk et al are their equal - if you don't need their increased image handling capabilities.

Finally, for some obscure reason (known only to the Olympus and Fujifilm marketing departments!), larger capacities than 2GB have never been released commercially, although test lab prototypes of up to 8GB have been trialled successfully. Who knows why?

The types of camcorders
If you are planning on purchasing a camcorder, you should be familiar with the types of camcorders and how they can benefit your specific needs. The formats of video cameras include, VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8, Mini Digital Video (Mini DV), DVD and Digital 8. Each format has its pros and cons VHS The VHS format is the oldest type of camcorder. This type of video camcorder is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution, VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video camera used because their technology is now outdated. VHS-C The VHS-C format offer 240 lines of resolution, just like VHS. These analog camcorders come in a smaller size that the VHS camcorder models, but use the same technology. The video tapes u ...
Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
