Even though Wikipedia said the “xD” picture card is officially obsolete as of 2010, there are still many thousands and thousands of “Olympus and FujiFilm” cameras that these memory cards can be used in.
We recently upgraded from our 7 year old FujiFilm FinePix A340 to a Canon PowerShot A3100IS because of the smaller factory installed 64Mb memory card.. and the limited number of pictures/movie length (along with having NO sound capabilities with the A340), that was limited on the A340.
Instead of throwing our old FujiFilm camera away, I decided to use it as our bumming around/backup unit.. and as such, upgraded the camera’s “firmware” to allow the use of the larger/faster “xD M+” card memory.
“Read/Write” speeds increased from the old 64Mb “M” memory of 1.3/5.. to that of the replaced “M+” memory of 3.75/6. Picture capacity and movie length increased from 33 pictures and less than 60 seconds of movies to that now being available of 4,264 pictures.. and a much longer movie time!
That’s right. Picture capabilities increased a additional 4,231 shots.. all for less than a “$14 Dollar” bill. Now how can you beat that!?
P.S. So the question is.. “Why did we purchase a new Canon when all of the above was done for less than $14.00?” What can I say? As a camera nut, what’s one more to the several that we already own? (wink)
I bought this item because it was an Amazon recommendation to do so when I was buying the Olympus Stylus Though 6020. When I tried placing this card into the camera, it didn’t fit. I think this is the only model of the Olympus Stylus series that uses an SD card. The description should detail for which models it fits.
I have given this card to a relative and it works very good.
Good memory card, have had no problems with it, but never thought I would in the first place.
According to Wikipedia, this format is officially obsolete as of 2010. Olympus created the xD card format as a way to lock in proprietary control on their cameras, and they soon learned it was a huge mistake. Nothing exists over 2gb and they are slow as molasses.
