SmartMedia is sold under several brands. Olympus branded SmartMedia allows you to take "panorama" shots. Essentially, you take multiple shots while making sure to overlap edges. You then reassemble these multiple shots using the "Camedia" software that came with your Olympus camera. The difference is that when an Olympus brand SmartMedia card is used, your digital camera keeps exposure settings constant across these multiple shots; which makes for a consistent panorama when you reassemble the individual shots via your computer.

This is a nice feature, but not a feature most of us use often. If you are going to purchase multiple SmartMedia cards, you might be able to do with just one or two Olympus brand cards - especially since they cost more than other brands. I use two 32Mb other brand cards, and save my two 8Mb Olympus brand cards for when panorama shots present (since you can switch the cards out at anytime - unlike traditional camera film).

My Olympus camera works great. The problem I had was that the SmartMedia card failed, and I couldn't find a replacement. Amazon.com had the best price of the websites that still offer them! I ordered 2 and they arrived very quickly! My camera is fully functional again! Thank you, Amazon!

I ordered this on a Friday and it was in my mailbox Saturday. The card looks and works like new. Great service.

The quality was exactly what I was looking for and it allows me to take some wonderful pictures. I was very pleased with the fast response. Thanks !

AMAZON WAS THE ONLY PLACE I COULD FIND THIS OLDER CARD. JUST WHAT I NEEDED.
