Olympus 2GB Type M XD Card with panorama function

from: Olympus Optical Co. (UK) Ltd

February 04, 2008
I bought the card for my Olympus E-510 to be able to shot panorama shots.
It is much slower that the CF Sandisk extreme III so I am really thinking that did not worth the money.
Otherwise the card is ok, the price is fair.
My advice is, if you have a camera with CD+xD do not bother to buy the xD card.

Olympus - VN-4100PC Digital Voice Recorder

from: Olympus


Love this product! Delivery was very prompt. Received within a couple of days of ordering. Compact design without too many complicated buttons to play with. Very easy to set up and use. Got mine done in less than five minutes! Not bad for a middle aged guy! Instructions were very easy to follow. Once I'd put my glasses on! The range of the internal mic is suprisingly good. I could pick up people talking normally from 5 or 6 metres away! All that you would want from this kind of product and at a very reasonable price. I'd recommend this item to anyone looking for simplicity and value for money.

Olympus Mju 1030SW Digital Camera - Midnight Black (10.1MP, 3.6x Digital Zoom) 2.7" LCD

from: Olympus

March 26, 2008
I restore classic cars and needed a tough camera for recording my work and taking photos for reference, one that could stand up to the harsh conditions of a hot, dusty workshop.
The 1030SW sounded perfect and it was a little more than i wanted to pay but chose it because of it's "tough" claims.
On day one without even using the camera it picked up a few scratches...not a problem but a bit surprising for a camera that is supposed to be able to take a bit of abuse. A week later the battery failed..this was replaced by the supplier but a battery should last longer than a week.
My biggest problem is the picture quality..it's on parr with a £39.99 camera. I have tried every setting and the pictures are grainey, have no depth and ... Read More:

Olympus Mju 850SW Digital Camera - Starry Silver (8.0MP, 3x Digital Zoom) 2.5" LCD

from: Olympus

January 24, 2008
I saw the adverts on tv and knew what a great camera it would be. If your someone like myself who drops and breaks everything this camera is for you. Excellent for taking to the beach being dustproof, and the underwater capabilities are amazing. Easy to charge, recommend buying the biggest memory card (2GB?) as you don't want to have to sacrifice any older pictures. Comes with a little bag to keep it nicely tucked away and clean. Perfect camera producing amazing picture quality!

Olympus 2Gb xD-Picture Card - Type M+ with panorama function

from: Olympus


My Olympus SP-550uz needs xD type H cards (rather than the slower type M cards) to enable its SHQ 30fps video mode for longer than 15 seconds. But, type H cards are no longer available.

This new Olympus type M+ xD card (from Flash Memory) seems to enable the SHQ 30fps mode in my camera OK.

Max. recording time for a 2GB M+ xD card in SHQ mode is about 19 minutes.

Olympus Mju 1010 Digital Camera - Midnight Black (10.1MP, 7x Digital Zoom) 2.7" LCD

from: Olympus

January 24, 2008
Dissapointed with the quality of photos. Comparing the 1010 to its previous model, 840 - there was a big difference in quality of photos. 1010 was blurry around the edges and 840 was crisp. This is the disadvantage of having all the extra's packed into a compact camera- however, you would think that Olympus make the newer model atleast of the same quality. Fine for regular photos, but as soon as you want to do some cropping and blowing photos to larger sizes, sacrifice quality a great deal. I find the 840 the better option, or even sharper photos are produced by Casio. Can't comment on other brands of camera's, as I haven't used them as yet. I would recommend you try it out in the shop first, and make a decision.
