The xD-Picture Card has been
developed by Fujifilm and Olympus to meet the storage needs of digital cameras
now and in the future. xD-Picture Cards are amongst the smallest of memory
cards, yet they are theoretically able to store up to eight GB of data--on a par with some DVD discs! xD-Picture Cards can also have data written to
them and read from them faster than other media, meaning that they are ideally
suited to fast storage of image and movie data. Users will also recognise
improved performance as image files can be recalled and replayed much
faster.
