Proprietary technology They don't tell you this very prominently, and they should--you must not modify the contents of an xD card except using the camera itself; otherwise you'll reformat the card, possibly rendering it useless, as the reviewer right beneath me discovered the unpleasant way. So don't ever use it with a card reader. If you're bringing picture files over to your neighborhood developing machine, transfer them onto some other media first. That's what happens when you have to use proprietary technology. Just about everyone else in the world uses SD now, but Olympus and Fuji insist on xD. Works fine until you make prints with picture kiosk machines I was given this Olympus M Type 256MB xD Picture Card as a gift when I received a digital camera for my birthday last November. It worked fine until last week when I made prints at my local Kmart using the xD picture card. The card is now 'dead' and no amount of reformatting will fix the problem. It's very disappointing, as I'd only had the card for a little while. There is no visable dirt or damage on the card or the gold 'heads', so I can't be sure if it died because it was damaged by the picture kiosk machine or because it was faulty. Either way, please beware of using this Olympus card in picture kiosks lest your card befalls a similar fate. Picture Card common sense I used 1 G card and found the fuller it got the longer it took to down load pictures. The 256 seems to be just the right size. It gives me 15 min. of movie and 173 pictures.
