Summary: How many pictures will it store?
Review: How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Olympus 64MB xD Picture Card, like most 64MB cards, will store on average 71 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 53 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 32 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 25 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 20 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Summary: Good amount of space, reliable construction. Affordable.
Review: If you have an Olympus digital camera, get this chip and replace the puny one that shipped with your camera.

The chip is your basic xD memory chip, but it is well built and it hasn't disappointed me yet. You could always go for a chip with a larger capacity, but do you really need to be able to store over 200 pictures?

Also, included in the packaging is a very handy carrying case (for up to 8 xD chips) that makes it easy, and safe, to carry around your various memory chips.
