Good for pics, Bad for videoMay 08, 2008
By D. Myers One of the reasons we bought our new Olympus digital camera was to take simple video without carrying around a separate digital video camera. We bought this memory card, but never saw anywhere listed that you can only take 10 seconds of video at a time with a Type-M XD card. In fact, I had to dig deep into Olympus' site to find that information out. Now I have two XD cards, Type-M and Type-H. Would have been helpful to know prior. For normal pictures, however, works just fine. But if you want video, pony up for the more expensive Type-H card.

Great cardFeb 20, 2008
By Lissie I have many Olympus XD cards and they have always been great. I have never had any prolems with any and this 2g one is amazing because of all of the pictures that it can hold... At 7.1 megapixels, it can hold over 1000 pictures.

READ IMMEDIATELY --- OBSOLETEMay 10, 2009
By NeciFiX This card is rather obsolete. The Type M+ is much much better. This card can only record EIGHT SECONDS of high quality VGA video at 30 FPS. On the M+, it can record up to about a half an hour, which is huge at least to me. Buy that card instead, which, incidentally, appears to be cheaper. I didn't and now I will have both the M and M+, spending almost $30 more than I need to. Don't make my mistake.

Does very well what it is intended forApr 07, 2009
By Dave J. I bought this picture card despite the misgivings I have based on prior reviews that it is slow, and only records 10 seconds of video.
I am happy to say that my gamble has paid off. In terms of speed, I've had no problems with this card. With video (which was one of the main reasons I bought this card), my camera, an Olympus FE-120, calculates the amount of recording time I have based on the remaining free space on the card, which is usually over an hour and a half. A previous review would have you believe that it only enables you to record for 10 seconds at a time. This is not the case. I was able to record continuously for about 4 minutes and I only stopped because I was done recording what I wanted to record. The camera indicated I had over an hour and a half remaining when I decided to stop.
Here is a breakdown of the various picture/video quality and the amount of pictures/time the camera can take. Please be advised that the below numbers are less than the actual amount the card can hold because I am currently using 215MB of the 1.95GB (2GB) space the card can hold.
