Handy storage deviceAugust 20, 2008 This card is exactly what I was looking for. I take a ton of photos while traveling and was in need of a storage card that has a lot of room and is reliable when downloading to my Powerbook. This card fits the bill!
M+2 Gb Xd-picture CardAugust 13, 2008 This is a plug and play item. Just plug it in and it works.

If you have an Olympus camera, you unfortunately need an Olympus brand card to unlock some features such as the panorama functionality. This isn't a technical limitation (technically all brands cards are the same) but the camera looks at the serial # on the card to know if it's Olympus brand or not.
Since it's an "Type H" card, it's fast enough for high quality video on most cameras. 640x480 to be exact, which is pretty much SD. It's actually surprisingly good on my camera. You can get about 20min on a 2GB card.
The M+ is faster than the regular M cards, and cheaper than the H. Not to mention it's available in 2GB (which I haven't seen much of for the H version in the US). Making it a pretty good buy.
The M+ is clearly the better buy of the xd-Picture cards... though xd-Picture is somewhat inferior to other card formats. But unless you buy a new camera you can't do much about that.
Make sure your camera is compatible with M+ (most 2GB M and H compatible cameras are fine) by checking on the camera manufacturer's website. Even if your camera's older than the M+ cards, it will likely still work.
Olympus M+ xD memory cardAugust 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Works fine. The "plus" is faster than standard M cards. Shooting RAW images at 6M, used a stopwatch, retesting three or more times per card my (averaged) results are as follows: M (1GB) FUJIFILM made in Japan 0:07:89 M+(2GB) OLYMPUS made by Toshiba in Japan 0:06:00
ABSULUTELY A MUST OWNAugust 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Never seen a better performance upgrade of any kind, that gave me speed and the option to save more pictures faster, than with this card. This is compared to a "normal" XD card. The memory size of 2Gb is a great thing for the newer digital cameras, which can take pictures of 8 Mb or more.
Cost price for this faster memory card is just where it should be. Doesn't cost a lot more than a slower memory card. This card is a MUST OWN.
