Compact and durable, the Olympus xD-Picture Card is the ultimate reusable, removable digital media. Besides providing increased storage capacities at higher resolutions, it also offers compatibility with most manufacturers' xD-compatible devices and is the only xD-Picture Card to support the Panorama function found with today's Olympus digital cameras.
The Olympus Type M xD-Picture Card keeps your photo, movie and other files safe and sound so you can enjoy them any way you want (viewing, sharing, slideshows, etc.) and any time. The compact size lets you carry it anywhere and because it's compatible with many reader/writers, you can download data to a computer or another device in a jiffy. Use it once. Use it many times - over and over. If you've an Olympus FE series digital camera, go with an original Olympus xD-PictureCard for your memory storage needs.

 Fast Enuf 4 Me October 21, 2005

There were issues expressed over the "slowness" of this 1 gigabyte Olympus brand XD card. I tested it, and it's NOT slow! For testing, I used an Olympus C8080 digital camera in Super-High-Quality mode, full-color, full-screen.
The write time is consistently 3 seconds. I know this is a subjective issue, but for me, it's fast enough.
For an 8 megapixel camera (my C8080) in super-high-quality mode, this card will store 261 photographs.
This is interesting: the 1 gigabyte CF card in my C8080 has less capacity; only 254 shots. I give this card 5 stars, because the performance matches the price.
 Slow! May 28, 2005

Although it's great that this card allows you to store so much information, it stores photos MUCH slower than the 16MB xD card that came with my camera. The camera is also made by Olympus (Camedia C-765UZ) so presumably there's no compatibility issue. I'd estimate that it takes two or three times as long to save to the 1GB card as to the 16MB, using identical camera settings.
A Very good Card July 20, 2005

When I ordered my new Olympus Camera I bought this card to go with it and I am very satisfied. I found this card to be rather fast saving images and loading them. And of course it will support panoramic pictures, which I love to take. To my knowledge this card uses a different technology than the x-D Cards that are less than one gb so be sure to check a camera compatibility list to see if yours will work. Also, I print many of my pictures at home, but if you take your pictures to your local photofinishing retailer, their machines may not be compatible with this card either. This card is definitely a step up from the smaller x-D Cards, but the photography world needs to update their selves to provide you with all the features this card has to offer.
 Information but not a review August 4, 2005

I did some homework on the Olympus site and discovered that several models of Olympus cameras require a "firmware upgrade" in order to use either the 512mb or 1gm memory cards. That MAY be why it is slow for some users but not others.
I've been using SQ1 to get a lot of pictures on a 128mb and have decided I want better quality so am going to upgrade even tho it means shipping my camera to Olympus to upgrade the firmware. They do it at no cost if you've bought a large memory card. It might be wise to check their web site.
Bigger is better! September 5, 2005

When I got my digital camera, I was a little dismayed that it only came with a 32 MB memory card which was good for about 18 pictures at a time. So when I went online to look for a bigger memory card I was glad to see xD Picture cards came in sizes up to 1 GB. The xD picture card needs some kind of adapter to be used with most hardware (a USB memory stick-style adapter, a Flash media adapter, etc.) or you can just use the cable that comes with most digital cameras to download your files straight to your computer from your camera. I slipped the new 1 GB card into my camera and was very gratified to see that I could take 700+ pictures (not that I would, but it's nice to have options) and since my camera has a video option I could actually use it for awhile without filling my memory card! Admittedly, getting such a big card is a bit like putting all you eggs in one basket (some people would prefer 2x 512 MB cards for flexibility), but I think of it as one less thing to worry about and I have more than enough memory capacity to take all the pictures I want. Even at $85-$90, a good deal.
