Olympus 256mb XD Card

For those who have operated in the digital camera industry for some time you will know that the XD card was originally designed by Olympus and Fujifilm as an expandable flash memory add-on for their array of digital cameras.  This so called extreme digital (XD) system has proved to be ahead of its time, and though others storage systems have come and gone, it remains as popular as ever.

The Olympus 256mb XD Card offers a useful 256mb of memory, which is more than sufficient for the everyday digital camera user.  It also has an interest panoramic function which allows you to piece together a number of pictures and store as one set.  It is these little extra functions which have attracted so many private and commercial digital camera users, and with Olympus being one of the main names in the industry it is no surprise that sales continue to do well.

The Olympus 256mb XD Card has a read speed of up to 4mb per second and a write speed of 2.5mb per second.   As with many of the memory cards of today, the Olympus 256mb XD Card uses very little battery power, ensuring there is no drain on the supply to the camera itself.  The card is tiny, with dimensions of just 25mm x 20mm x 1.7mm, ensuring you will be able to transport your data between cameras with no problem.

Due to the new technology which is installed into the Olympus 256mb XD Card there are some compatibility issues with some very old cameras, but newer cameras should offer a seamless service.
