Digital camera reviews of Olympus 128 MB SmartMedia Card
Digital camera Review: Worth the Extra Cost
Summary: 5 Stars
I have an Olympus C-3000, and bought a 64MB Olympus card to go with it. Used it for a long time, never had a problem. When I wanted more memory, I bought a SanDisk 128MB card to save a few dollars. That thing has flaked out on me many times, and I've lost important photographs. Take the photos, and get home only to find that they are not there.I'm going back to Olympus cards. Memory is not all created equally. (BTW, I also had a SanDisk USB memory card reader. That was a piece of junk too - the memory card got stuck and wouldn't come out! Their tech support said "Push down real hard on the card with the reader upside down and it will come out" - I kid you not! Stay away from anything those pinheads manufacture.)
Digital camera Review: be careful how you use it
Summary: 4 Stars
I love my Olympus digital cameras (I now have two), and I enjoy having lots of room on the card and not having to think whether or not I've got the right card to do panorama shots. However, I use an external PCMCIA card reader to copy the picture files to my computer, and I recently made the mistake of copying some files from the computer back onto the smartmedia card. After that the camera would not recognize the card, and Olympus is unwilling to offer assistance. They say my card just got corrupted and I need to buy a new one.Digital camera Review: must use for panorama on olympus cameras

with my new c-4040, it estimates 46 photos at shq, and over 1,000 photos at sq2, but only 10 or 11 at tiff uncompressedDigital camera Review: replacing after format lost
Summary: 4 Stars
I am replacing a 128MB card after one of two I owned lost its format. I had the card in an Olympus P440 photo printer (using a PCMCIA adapter). While printing, I lost power to the printer. When I powered everything up again, some of the image data was lost and errors were diaplyed on the printer. When I reinserted the card into my Olympus 3040 camera, it diplayed a card error and refused to reformat with the tool icon. So I threw the card away. This is the only problem I have had in 2+ years, but it seems like a serious design flaw for a card that should have only been open for a read function.Digital camera Review: some problems
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought two of these cards a little less than a year agoand they worked great until recently. I had 160 images on
one card and when I tried to upload them to my Dell (which
I have done with success many times) I got
"Disk is not formatted." I tried uploading to an IBM PC
and got the same message. When I put the card into an HP
printer (that I have had success with in the past) I got
"Error on card." I was pretty depressed by this since the
images were taken over several weeks for a documentation
project. As a last effort, I tried uploading the images to
an HP computer, and that worked fine - so they were saved.
I tossed the defective card. I had in no way mistreated it.
This experience has taught me to upload my pictures more
frequently - you could lose a lot of valuable images.
