[+] 8.0 Great experience so far
I ordered 2x2GB memories and received them on time with no problems. I gave product a 4 start instead of 5 because it does not come in any larger capacity than 2GB which in todays standards rather small otherwise very good quality and works perfectly with my Olympus C7000 digital camera.

[+] 10.0 Lovely.
I bought this specific card because I needed it so my Olympus Stylus 1040 digital camera could use the Panorama function and it worked awesomely. It holds about 150 pictures when it's on 5MP
.All good things,

[+] 10.0 memory card.
I bought a Olympus camera and tried to stick a regular memory card in it....well needless to say......:(
Found this one to be the best deal for the money, works great in my camera.

[+] 10.0 Great memory for my camera
I have an Olympus camera that I can camcord on.
This card allows me to take a lot of video or over a thousand of pix (or a combination of both. ).
I never worry about running out of space, and don't have to keep downloading my pix to clear them off of my camera.
Reviewer [A3JQTTCOJ08A91] | Date [January 22, 2010]
[+] 8.0 Lots to memory, but slows down my digital camera when turning on
I have an Olympus 3.2 megapixel digital camera and I got this to be able to fit more pictures onto one memory card. The memory card definitely allows for more pictures, but when I turn on my camera, it takes a long time to get ready for me to actually be able to take a picture. The light would keep flashing for awhile and then stops when it is ready for picture taking. I like the amount of space but with all this waiting, I might miss a great photo opportunity. I was hoping the M+ would mean that it can process faster but it did not for my camera.
Reviewer [A3BXUAAEDIW554] | Date [January 11, 2010]
[+] 6.0 Does its job...
The memory card works fine and seems to save images reasonably quickly. I am a bit disappointed that I cannot simply use a normal SD memory card in our new Olympus Stylus Rough 8000. I am also disappointed that this 2 gig card is the biggest memory card Olympus makes for this camera. I would have really preferred a class 6 4 or 8gb. SD card. All this aside, it works just fine if all you want is a 2 gig card that operates reasonably fast.

Good choice - I've been shooting at 5mp and there's scads of room on this. Nice to not have to worry about room when shooting.

[+] 8.0 Olympus flash card
Received product on time and works well to capture photos. However, cannot be read with my card reader. Took to Best Buy and tried in three printers and one computer. Worked in one printer and the computer. Only way to download onto computer is through the camera, which eats up battery life.

[+] 10.0 Not to slow
Some people have said it is slow processing on to the card for a high resolution pic, I have no problem with it. Price was a good deal.
Reviewer [A1KVLYNNMIMLN] | Date [November 30, 2009]
[+] 4.0 not for camera use
I have an OLYMPUS camera D-390
It uses this type of memory card.
It came with a 16MB card that works.
The new 2GB card did not work.
Appears the camera is at fault.

So the product is probably good but not for me.
Good luck I like my money back if possible.
Actually now I need to find a campatable picture frame to use this product in.

Un-happy customer.

I had to pay shipping charges on those. I thought if I spent over $25 with Amazon that I wouldn't pay shipping charges.

[+] 8.0 customer service great
I have an older model Olympus digital camera and found that this picture card was not compatable with it. I contacted Cameta Camera and received instructions to return the item. My account was credited very quickly. I'd definitely purchase from them again and I felt their customer service was great.
Reviewer [A2MHEV85WGZRYZ] | Date [October 26, 2009]
[+] 10.0 Good Product
It's a memory card, how much is there really to say about it? I have used xD cards for a while and I have never had one get corrupted and transfer times are pretty good. The only thing I don't like is the limited number of products with which it is compatable since most things use SD, and as such many computers with card readers do not support the xD.

[+] 10.0 olympus Cam Chip
Was most pleased. I was told that this device was no longer produced for my digital OLYMPUS camera. I did some checking. Found out indeed it is and found it on AMAZON.com. Including a price blow what it usually cost. Anytime I'm told that it's no longer available, it usually is and can be found. Amazon.com is a first choice with me. The device arrived in a few days from ordering and was ready to work.

[+] 10.0 Nice Card
This card works fine. I wish they had larger cards since this types is necessary for the video feature.
Reviewer [A1FUXTGD90KMOB] | Date [September 12, 2009]
[+] 6.0 not needed
If you are purchasing the Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 12 MP Digital Camera you DO NOT NEED the M+ card. The camera comes with a M+ to Micro SD adapter. Purchase an 8gig Micro SD card use the adapter. This will give you around 2200+ 12mb pictures.

I also used it to record video with no problems. I had 300 pictures with 3 15 minute video clips.

[+] 10.0 The best XD card to Get
If you have to get an XD card this is the one to get. Its their fastest to date and if you want full motion video on the current (2009) Olympus Cameras you need the speed. I was using an older XD on my Stylus Tough and couldn't get 30 FPS at 640 x 480 except in 30 second bursts (the amount it took to fill the buffer). After this card I get it till the card is full.

2 Gigs will hold a bit over 850 pictures at normal quality (10mp) or a bit less than 15 minutes of video at 640x480 30fps.

I've tested it in a Oly 720Sw, Sylus Tough (6000 & 8000) and Fuji F40. Works fine.

For an XD card I give it 5 stars, but keep in mind its still an XD card. You buy XD cards because you have to, not because its competitive in any way. They are slower, more expensive per GB and not supported on all readers. But if you own an Olympus or an older Fuji your stuck. If you have a newer generation fuji that takes SD cards use those instead.

[+] 6.0 Old, slow technology. If it's all you can use, then do so.
After using my Olympus C-7000 to take JPEGs only for a number of years, I finally started to explore the power of RAW files. This really allowed me to improve the color significantly. Beforehand, I had never really been in love with in the color from this camera. So why is this relevant? Because saving RAW files with the xD memory cards is very slow, and the M+ versions of the memory card did not help much. If this style of memory card is all your camera can handle, then by all means use the M+ card. However, it is a shame the the great work of Olympus (and I'm a long-time Olympus user) is compromised by such slow storage media. At least, it is slow vs. today's standards, such as the SanDisk 2 GB Extreme III SD Memory Card ( SDSDX3-002G-A21 Retail Package). The SanDisk card also comes with software for recovering accidentally deleted images. With my Pentax K10D 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction (Body Only) (or the updated Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction and DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL II Lens, or brand-new Pentax K-7 14.6 MP Digital SLR with Shake Reduction and 720p HD Video (Body Only)), you can use these fast cards (and faster cards are on the way). I currently take simultaneous JPEG and RAW photos with the Pentax K10D and the process is fast. Just taking a RAW picture on the C-7000 would require many seconds to save to any xD type card I tried, including the 2 GB xD M+. So, if you want to shoot RAW files, I don't see how you will be happy with an M+ card (unless, perhaps, your camera has a memory buffer that can speed up the photography process somehow). If you stick to JPEGs, the card will work fine, but you may be giving up a lot of your camera's inherent power.

[+] 10.0 Olympus 2Gb Memory Card
I received this card very quickly after it was ordered. It is being used with a new Digital Camera and works very well. With a 10Mp camera, It holds 808 pictures in normal mode, more than enough for normal use. A very good product and the price was right.

If you have an Olympus Stylus camera you need this card to take panaramic photos. Good value.

[+] 10.0 Large capacity
What can I say? Large storage capacity and very fast access times. This is a great card and a must for digital cameras.

[+] 10.0 Fantastic and inexpensive
M+ Card is quicker & better resolution than its former "M" card. Half the cost of buying at retail. Very pleased.
Reviewer [A29038H683ZUER] | Date [June 1, 2009]
[+] 8.0 Good Chip
Works as expected. My camera needed the M+ card for extended video capture.

My only complaint is that 2GB is the largest they come in. In this day and age, I'd expect at least 8GB or 16GB.

[+] 6.0 My Hp computer deleted 50 raw pictures over 174 from this card
My Hp computer Pavilion zv6000 deleted 50 raw pictures over 174 from this card when I tried to transfer photos directly from the chip to my hard disk. It automatically cutted my images from the xd-card; I tried to see them again in the E-3 camera but the card was empty. Sorry, but I'm really angry.

What could I do? Software problem? xd-cards problem? Should I use CF cards instead?
