Yes,
Sandisk manufactures both Fuji and Olympus cards. As a result, they're almost the same card.
It functioned in the Fuji camera that I used it with. It should work fine as long as the camera's specifications don't specify a lower limit than 1GB.
The one I ordered did come with a nice specially designed plastic case, but since it was used stock, I'm not sure if the next one will. Also, while this did not appear to work with my Fuji camera, it did with an Olympus.
Selected User Reviews For Olympus 1 GB Type M xD-Picture Card ( 200495 )
Most hardware (such as a USB memory stick) requires an adapter to use the xD picture card. You can either use the cable that comes with most digital cameras to download your files directly to your computer (style adapter, Flash media adapter, etc. ) or you can use the cable that comes with most digital cameras to download your files directly to your computer (style adapter, Flash media adapter, etc. ). I inserted the new 1 GB card into my camera and was ecstatic to discover that I could take 700 photos (not that I would, but it's nice to have options) and that, because my camera has a video mode, I could actually use it for a while without filling up my memory card! Admittedly, getting such a large card is a bit like putting all your eggs in one basket (some people would prefer 2x 512 MB cards for flexibility), but I think of it Despite the $85 price tag, It's a good deal at $90.
I'm glad I went ahead and bought this card; it can hold a lot of photos and a few digital movies at its highest quality setting. I used it a lot this summer for my father's house project, and I loaded it up with a lot of photos. If you have a printer that has a memory card slot, uploading to the computer is much easier. This feature is one of my favorites- It's a breeze to import into my camera software, where I can then edit and print it. Your prints will be more amazing if your camera is set to a higher quality. br>br>So the best advice I can give is that if you need to buy a card for your digital camera, even if you don't think you need one with so much storage capacity, you should do so- Believe me when I say that It is absolutely priceless!.
Planet had one available online, and my card matched the image. So we placed an order for it- There will be numerous photo opportunities in the near future. They sent me an M card, which I had previously purchased and returned and could have purchased anywhere. M was shown in the picture, M was written on the order slip, and M was written on the card itself, which was wrapped very securely (so you couldn't try it). My camera displayed "card error" when we tried the first M card from rADIO sHACK. We returned it according to Planet's instructions and were given a run-around. around. there is no contact information- Simply send an email. br>All we kept asking was, "Do you have an M card?" We never received a response and still don't. They forwarded our emails to various people, each of whom told us something different. Finally, they said that if you open the card and insert it, it should work, and it DID! We talked for almost a week about models and such, and we kept telling them that our camera's book said M card, and we didn't have one. So, if we had just known or weren't afraid to open and couldn't return, the camera would have worked fine. As a result, we missed two final grandkids' baseball games, my daughter's fourth birthday, and our trip to Big Bend. We will not place another order with them. Better communication is required, as is the use of a phone - It was possible that the problem could have been resolved sooner. Furthermore, their comment space is extremely limited, and there is no way to communicate your issue to them.
I didn't want to spend $35, so I decided to take a chance on this used card, and I'm glad I did. I was a little worried when the camera said the data was corrupted, but I just reformatted it and it's fine now. I was expecting this card to come wrapped in some antistatic stuff, but it came with a nice little case designed for this card, and the seller did everything excellently, which is amazing considering how cheap I am.
I did some research on the Olympus website and discovered that using the 512mb or 1gm memory cards requires a "firmware upgrade" on several Olympus cameras. That could explain why some users experience slowness while others do not. br>br>I've been using SQ1 to get a lot of pictures on a 128mb and have decided that I want better quality, so I'm going to upgrade, even if it means shipping my camera to Olympus for firmware upgrades. If you buy a large memory card, they will do it for free; check their website for more information.
It's a nice piece of technology, and the size, or lack thereof, is quite remarkable. I like to carry a camera with me wherever I go, and I prefer not to lug a bulky, brick-like camera around with me. camera of a reasonable size or a jumble of small parts and pieces A C- is the letter I use most often. On land, it's an 8080, and in the sea, it's a C-. Both the 5000 and the dive-housing take the 1GB card, and I used to carry spare cards around like spare rolls of film in the old days. Unless I'm on a long backcountry trip, the 1GB card will usually suffice to keep me going until I can download to my computer, even if I'm shooting RAW or TIFF. For some, the read/write and download times may be a bit slow, but my *instant gratification* meter isn't as caffienated as others' - That's why I gave it a four-star rating rather than a five-star rating.
At low-resolution, there are over 6000 photos. On my Olympus C-100, I shot 400 images at high quality and 400 images at super high quality. Camera with a 50mm lens To use the camera, it required an upgrade, which was free and only required one-way shipping. I only gave it four stars instead of five because the card appears to be a little slower than the one I had before - The original card, on the other hand, was much smaller, so it could also be a camera issue. Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase.
Both the Oly 512 MB and this Oly 1 GB card work equally well with still images, so I got them both. In the case of video files, however, this is not the case. If you make them too long, saving them takes minutes, and there's a good chance the movie will be corrupt after downloading, ready for the bin. With the 512 MB card, this NEVER happens, regardless of how large the movie file is. It's important to remember that when using the cards.
