Advantages: Good quality product!

Disadvantages: High price compared to other memory cards on the market

Now I'm not going to go on about how many photo i can store on this device as all digital cameras are different these days. I am going to compare the card to other types you can buy on the market.

It is one of the smaller card on the market. It is defiantly smaller than the standard SD card that most cameras use these days. If you have a fujifilm or olympus camera then XD is probably the one that you will use.

The XD also seams the transfer and process information quicker than the SD card. I know this as my camera takes both SD and XD and the Xd is defiantly the quicker one. However, there doesn't really seam to be much difference in the quality of the pictures i have taken.

The price of XD card are also a lot more expensive than the SD cards. At the present moment, XD cards seam to be nearly double the price you can buy a SD card for. However, the cheaper SD cards always seam to be of a lower quality and it wouldn't surprise me if they had a low usage life.

Overall, this 1GB XD memory card is a great buy if your camera is compatible. I would advice anyone to spend more money on one of these cards from other makes as it is that much better.

Summary: A good buy for compatible cameras
