Summary: Reliable, inexpensive memory.
Review: I bought this along with my Olympus C-4040Z a little over a year ago. It's been very reliable, and at the time I bought it was the least expensive of all the available 128mb SmartMedia cards.

Just for reference, my Olympus tells me I can put 46 shots on a blank 128mb card, although I've been able to get as many as 61 shots on the card shooting at 4.1 megapixels and SHQ mode on my camera (highest JPEG resolution).

Summary: Great product for PDA's
Review: I currently use this card with a memplug adapter for my handspring visor platinum. and I love it. It has increased the useable memory from 8MB. It has allowed me to carry more programs, and data than ever before. PLus, I am able to back up my handheld to the card with out problems. it's a great product!

Summary: More Pictures
Review: I bought this smartmedia card as digital film for my Ricoh RDC-7
camera, I was looking to get more pictures on a single card and boy am I happy. I get almost 400 pictures per card, then I take'em home and write them onto cdrw.

Summary: Works PERFECTLY in Olympus D-510 - 90 pics in SHQ!
Review: Just got the 128Mb for my Olympus D-510. Works great - here are the number of pics:
* HQ - 257 pics (10 rolls of film worth for vacation)
* SHQ - 90 pics (4 rolls of film - WOW!)
I just snap away! Love this card. Please note - panoramas do not work on this card - Olympus put special "instructions" on their cards for this. Doesn't matter - when (if ever) I need a panorama shot I will use the 8mb card that came with the camera

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: works great
Review: You don't need to buy a brand name product. I've used Viking memory in my computer and Viking smartmedia cards in my cameras, and they always work great - and cost a lot less.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So reliable you never need to think about it
Review: This SmartMedia card works so well (read: reliably) that once you buy it and insert it into your device you never need to give it a second thought. And what is there really to say about a removeable memory card beyond this?

My wife & I use this card in a MPIO-DMG portable MP3/WMA player. It provides the great performance you'd expect without any "gotchas". Recommended.

Summary: 500 pics and still rolling!
Review: I am using this in my Olympus 3000 and it works great. I read lots of hype about Smartmedia being very corruptable. So, to be on the safe side, I decided that I would just buy a 128MB card and leave it in the camera all the time. The corruption we read about probably comes from mishandling the smartmedia cards and sliding them in/out and/or getting fingerprints on them. They are very thin and look flimsy, handle with care!

The 128MB card holds 169 images at the HQ (High Quaility 3 MegaPixel setting) in the Olympus 3000/3030 and so far so good, but I am still waiting on that rebate check from Viking. :(

Also, there is a "hack" to enable the panaorama feature of the Olympus camera's... It has to do with formatting with "Olympus PAN" in the header :) ....

From research, I found that there are only two companies that produce smartmedia cards and that the only difference between the two is the country in which they are produced. The Viking media comes from Japan, which is supposedly better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Works reliably
Review: Never had any trouble with mine, in fact it's a testament that I never even think about it; it simply works!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect Complement to my MP3 Player
Review: Unbeatable value - less than 64MB cards from other manufacturers! At these prices, you can afford to stock up. I have the Creative Nomad IIMG MP3 player and this is the perfect complement. Flashing the Nomad with the latest Firmware allows you to use the 128MB Smartmedia card which then formatted out of the box and ready to accept MP3s in minutes.

Speed is not a concern - differences between cards are not as meaningful as the actual interface which is where the real bottleneck is. As all my devices are USB 1.1, any claimed speed differential between cards matters less than if my devices were USB 2.0 or IEEE1394/Firewire which have much higher data transfer rates.

I now have 192MB of mobile solid state storage and over 5 hours of music (at 64kps WMA encoding) and recommend this to anyone with an MP3 player that has upgradedable firmware to accomodate larger capacity smartmedia cards. At these prices I am going to buy more to have a nice library of music on the road - much easier than sclepping the CD collection around. I will also be first off the block to buy larger capacities as soon as they become available next year and will definitely buy Viking again.
