Review 2 of 4

Summary:

I have 2 SmartMedia cards right now. A 16MB Olympus that came with my C3030 and a 64MB Kingston. The Olympus SmartMedia have a panorama function which is nice, but isn't worth the extra dinero you have to fork over. The 64 MB card holds an ample number of images, even at the higher resolutions.

Strengths:

Easy to use.

Weaknesses:

A bit flimsy.

Review 3 of 4

Summary:

$16 for 8 meg card at www.onvia.com. I have used it in an Olympus D220L and a Microtech USB CameraMate with no problems. This is the same card they sell at Best Buy for about 2-3 times the price. I have noticed no differences between the original 2meg Olympus card the this on as far as proformance. And NO image differences as the card only stores the images as files.

Strengths:

Cost!

Weaknesses:

None

Review 4 of 4

Summary:

I find that the brightnes of colors isn't as good as the cardsmanufactured by Fuji, also, all Simple cards aren't the same quality. The stores that sell the cards don't realize this and won't replace cards that aren't as good as others.

Strengths:

ease of use

Weaknesses:

very fragile
