A technical note,

This review is from: Olympus 2GB XD M+ Card (Electronics)
xD cards are pretty much redundant now - the format has been abandoned by Olympus and all of their new cameras take SD and SDHC cards.
But if you only have an xD card slot, you still need an xD card, and this is as good as they get. The maximum 2Gb capacity seems rather quaint these days, although it is only a couple of years since 2Gb seemed like more than you would ever need. If you have no choice about XD, buy this card, rather than a copycat brand. If you do have a choice of slots, or an xD-micro SD converter, as with the Olympus TOUGH series, then go for the micro SD as it can be used with other kit. Five stars for the card itself, less one to steer you towards not using xD unless you have to.

This review is from: Olympus 2GB XD M+ Card (Electronics)
After reading so many reviews about cards being fake or not working i decided just to go for the real thing and not risk saving a few quid and get a rip off.
This is exactly what was ordered, turned up very quickly, well packaged and works perfectly. It is an Olympus official XD M+ 2GB card and comes with a 2 year warranty. Very impressed, will buy again.

This review is from: Olympus 2GB XD M+ Card (Electronics)
As the other reviewer has said, xD cards can be picked up for a few pounds but I too wasn't willing to take the chance on receiving something manufactured in somebody's shed. I paid extra for this Olympus card, one reason being that the CF card I use doesn't allow for 'Panoramic' photos and it's something I wanted to try.
I don't know the transfer speed of this card, but as those things are measured in fractions of seconds, I doubt I'd notice anyway. (Is there really a discernible difference between 90mb/s and 50mb/s?) Its capacity that counts and this allowed me 120 photos in RAW but nearly 6000 in Small Normal (both similar amounts to my 2GB Compact Flash). The card also comes with a 20-digit serial number that has to be entered to activate the ART and 3D functions within the Olympus Master software. This number was on a piece of paper tucked in the back of the cardboard pack the card arrived in and as it's an official Olympus card, I guess they're all packaged that way. It could quite easily be thrown out by mistake. The two-year warranty helps, too. Okay, it may cost more but you'll know it will work; if by chance it doesn't, it will be sorted out, which is slightly better than hearing, "It's yours now, mate."
