Editorial Review
Product Description
SmartMedia cards store digital photographs, supplementing your camera's on-board memory and the cards you may already own. This is especially useful for the photographer on the go. Keep an extra one of these in your camera bag so you don't miss an important shot. Also, with more memory, you can take more pictures at higher resolutions without running out of space.

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. 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 32Mb other brand cards, and save my two 8Mb Olympus brand cards for when panorama shots present (since you can switch the cards out at anytime - unlike traditional camera film).

The Olympus Smart Media Card is the best when it compares to those other brands because I have an Olympus Camedia D-340R. With this card, I have the power of the panoramic photo mode- while other brands don't support this feature. While paying the same price, why buy anything less than an Olympus.

Recommendation: Strong Buy

I bought an Olympus D360L digital camera.

Overall I was very happy with these cards. They have held up to the usage I've put them though, so far. It is nice to know that they have a 5 year guarnatee should anything happen.

I would certainly buy the floppy or USB reader for transfering data.

My order specifies 1 Olympus 16MB SmartMedia card.

I got 1 16MB Smart Media card to use in an Olympus camera. There is a difference!

The Olympus card has a panorama funtion. The other brands do not.

I was not sent what I ordered.

I also have an Olympus D340R Camera, and I have an Olympus 16mbcard and a Scandisk 16mb card. The panoramic feature isn't worth paying [the extra money]. Instead of buying one Olympus 16mb card, buy two Scandisk 16mb cards.

    It isn't a personal ad: A male wolverine, dubbed "Buddy" by researchers, has been found in Tahoe National Forest in California. A wolverine has not been spotted in the state for some 90 years. No one can figure out just how Buddy got there, but as mating season approaches, this little guy could feel lonelier than ever.
