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; for example, on a recent two week trip, I took 220 shots of which only 12 were panorama. 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 other brand SmartMedia cards, and save my Olympus brand cards for when panorama shots present (since you can switch the cards out at anytime - unlike traditional camera film).

Also to realistically determine what the price premium is, check prices for Olympus and other brand SmartMedia not only here, but also at other popular commercial sites.

    Product Description

    SmartMedia cards store digital photographs, supplementing your camera's on-board memory and the cards you may already own. This is especially useful for the photographer on the go. Keep an extra one of these in your camera bag so you don't miss an important shot. Also, with more memory, you can take more pictures at higher resolutions without running out of space.

    1 out of 5 stars Card received was not the card I ordered.......2002-08-15

    My order specifies 1 Olympus 16MB SmartMedia card.

    I got 1 16MB Smart Media card to use in an Olympus camera. There is a difference!

    The Olympus card has a panorama funtion. The other brands do not.

    I was not sent what I ordered.

    5 out of 5 stars Nice little Card.......2000-11-13

    I bought an Olympus D360L digital camera.

    Overall I was very happy with these cards. They have held up to the usage I've put them though, so far. It is nice to know that they have a 5 year guarnatee should anything happen.

    I would certainly buy the floppy or USB reader for transfering data.

    I also have an Olympus D340R Camera, and I have an Olympus 16mbcard and a Scandisk 16mb card. The panoramic feature isn't worth paying [the extra money]. Instead of buying one Olympus 16mb card, buy two Scandisk 16mb cards.

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).

    5 out of 5 stars This is the Best Smart Media Card!.......2000-03-25

    The Olympus Smart Media Card is the best when it compares to those other brands because I have an Olympus Camedia D-340R. With this card, I have the power of the panoramic photo mode- while other brands don't support this feature. While paying the same price, why buy anything less than an Olympus.

    Recommendation: Strong Buy
