My wife has an Olympus camera and uses this card. I surprised her with several from BH Photo and she is delighted. She is an avid shooter of flowers and can fill up a card in no time. She now has enough storage to last for several days of shooting. The xD card works perfectly and is very reliable. I also purchased (from BH Photo) an xD card reader for downloading images to her computer. I am really amazed at the number of images she gets on these cards.[...]

I got this card to supplement the CF card in the my Olympus E-410.
The picture quality is very good. The write and format speed is lacking though. I expected a faster write rate and it takes about three times as long to format as the 4GB CF card. So far I'm keeping it as a back-up to the Sansa Ultra II card.
It seems to do a better job with my point and shoot Stylus 760.

I purchased the 2GB xD card for my trusty Olympus SP500-UZ. I was tired of having to change out the 128MB and 256MB cards I already had and the 2GB xD card fit the bill. It works very well and has plenty of storage for a long weekend of backpacking pictures.

Comments about Olympus 2GB xD-Picture Card (Type-M):
I recently purchased an Olympus FE-340 camera. Although I can use any brand xD card for great photos the Olympus brand card also allows for specific features such as ART, 3D and PANORAMA associated with certain Olympus cameras. It's a nice added benefit to get creative with your photos.
