Rating: Summary: Nice Review: Before you buy this product, make sure it's compatible with the camera you want to use it in. This 32mb smart media card is a nice fat batch of memory for storing your digital camera's photos. It's 4 times the size of memory from the 8mb that consumers often get with their digital cameras. Depending on the settings in which you snap your pictures, you can fit up to approximately 200 photos on this card! I've maxed out and re-used my card dozens of times and I have never encountered any problems with it. Assuming I snap a good photo with my camera, the images are stored in their brilliant, colorful and clear quality. This card (which is the size of a quarter) is very reliable and not difficult to use. Don't be dissuaded by the price, it's worth it considering that you'll be re-using it many times unlike regular film.

Rating: Summary: A few Querks Review: I own an Oly C2100 and love digital over film! The fact that you can delete, view, do movie/audio....its a lot to remember. I have the 8mb smartmedia that came with the Oly and like everyone, found out that a plain 32mb smartmedia card wouldn't let me select 'panorama' just when I needed it, made me HOT. I took the the shots and they where OK but the lighting did change a bit between frames. I wouldnt have bought the 'plain' card had I know before( but 'If' and 'Ida' were playing this card game). The second issue is the 'scratch factor'. I have only removed the 8mb card 6 times and I notice certain areas of the metal surface beginning to wear. Take care to insert/remove the card gentley and at the proper orientation(square) as the clearance in the the camera slot and reader slot is too tight. I find that setting the image size down one size (most 2.1 megapixals default at 1200x1600) allow more photo storage and one less step to take when emailing and printing. Also take a lot of shots and enjoy as this media (camera/card) will be obsolete before we know it.

Rating: Summary: Panorama Function DOES Work with Other Brands Review: I own three different brands of flash (Olympus, SanDisk, and Viking). All three of them utilize the panaromic feature. Currently, the Viking and SanDisk card are priced exactly the same--which is a lot less expensive than this Olympus card.
Rating: Summary: BEST PRICE AROUND! Review: I recently purchased a D-490Z along with this card and the batteries (see my other reviews). I did shop around for "digifilm" and this is by far the best price that I've seen by a large margin. If you have an Olympus, you will be certain that this is fully compatible for panorama shots, etc. This card will hold 22 SHQ pics or 320 SQ pics. Combined with the 8 MB that comes with the camera, this should hold most people. This got my money.

Rating: Summary: bought wrong kind - check your camera! Review: I wanted to buy a new smart media card for my digital camera. I thought the 32mb cards would be great. Only thing is my camera, 2 years old, won't support the card. It will only recognize cards up to 16 mb. Please be sure to check your cameras guidlines before purchasing accessories!

Rating: Summary: Might not be worth the price premium Review: SmartMedia is sold under several brands. Olympus branded SmartMedia allows you to take "panorama" shots. Essentially, you take multiple shots while making sure to overlap edges. You then reassemble these multiple shots using the "Camedia" software that came with your Olympus camera. The difference is that when an Olympus brand SmartMedia card is used, your digital camera keeps exposure settings constant across these multiple shots; which makes for a consistent panorama when you reassemble the individual shots via your computer. This is a nice feature, but not a feature most of us use often; for example, on a recent two week trip, I took 220 shots of which only 12 were panorama. If you are going to purchase multiple SmartMedia cards, you might be able to do with just one or two Olympus brand cards - especially since they cost more than other brands. I use two other brand SmartMedia cards, and save my Olympus brand cards for when panorama shots present (since you can switch the cards out at anytime - unlike traditional camera film). Also to realistically determine what the price premium is, check prices for Olympus and other brand SmartMedia not only here, but also at other popular commercial sites.
