I purchased this M+ 1GB xD card for my Olympus C8080WZ. Because more and more stores stop carrying xD card, I thought I had to have one before they totally disappear from the market.
I chose M+ because I have read somewhere that this one records longer video than older one like type M. I chose 1GB instead of larger size because my 4GB Compact Flash I was using before took more time to start up and longer wait between the shots than 32 MB xD the original came with the camera. It worked out right. It works just as quickly as the original 32 MB xD, though it could be a difference between Compact Flash and xD.
Only thing I was worried about was the compatibility issue. The card was one of the newest type and my camera was 4 yr. old. My concern was unfounded, it works flawlessly.
The capacity of 1 GB xD is bigger than 1/4 of 4GB Compact Flash. 2063 for the xD, 7740 for the Compact Flash on 1600x1200 JPG, even though actual frame counts will be more. It's nice to have both card at the same time and switchable. I'm planning to use the xD for the photos, Compact Flash for the video, mostly.
I don't think I'll need another card for the camera, and I think I made a good investment. I love the camera and I plan to use it until stops working or the card fails and no longer can be found.

Works wonderfully to back up user data on my Kurzweil keyboard and the price is right! Why overpay in a store for more card than you'll ever need!

This card is fast, built well and has worked great. It's of the quality I've come to expect from Olympus, ever since I purchased my first Olympus camera many years ago. Since then I have upgraded my camera several times throughout the years (all Olympus). I highly recommend this product.

Although these are theoretically not as fast as the "Type H" cards released a few years ago, I can't find much of a practical difference. The fact that they are definitely faster than "Type M" cards at almost the same price make them an excellent value.

All folks here complaining the card does not work with their camera should first check compatibility of their model on the manufacturer's website. I have links to both Fuji & Olympus compatibility lists on my blog (which can be reached via my profile page)

In my case it works fine with my Fuji s6000fd, Fuji f40fd (same as f45fd) and Fuji S3 Pro cameras.

Depending on your shipping options the 2GB version may be turn out to be an even better deal for you:
2GB M+ xd Card
Another 2GB M+ xd Card
2-pack 2GB M+ xd Card

If in fact you determine your device is not compatible with the "Type M+" cards then you should go with the older "Type M" cards also available in 1GB and 2GB capacities:
Sandisk 2GB xD Card
SanDisk 1GB xD Card

Purchased four memory cards for classroom cameras. Plenty of storage for high setting photos. M+ saving multiple video captures quickly. Good price and received quickly. Shipping a little pricey.

I was not able to purchase it the store, but when they did have it it was much more expensive.

What can I say? It's little, it works, and it was five dollars. That pretty much makes it a 100% winner for me.

I have used Olympus products for a long time. Very dependable and easy to use.
