Value and Quality.......2004-11-16

First of all... the price and quality are superb.

I have owned mine for about nine months now enduring vacations in Austria and Mexico City. I have had absolutely no problems with my photos (regardless of the countless times I've erased single/all photos as well as formatted the card).

You will be pleased with this card.

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The SanDisk 64MB SmartMedia Card, like most 64MB cards, will store on average 71 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 53 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 32 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 25 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 20 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Doesn't work so well in my Rio 500.......2002-04-03

It's not the memory that is bad, but I bought two memory Sandisk 64 mg memory cards for my Rio 500, and you just can't carry them and choose which one you want to listen to without big time hassles. The Rio 500 is so reluctant to recognize the external memory, you have to keep putting it in and taking it out ad nauseum before it finally decides to recognize it. So I don't even do it! I just get the one in there working, and erase that and fill it when I want to change music. SmartMedia cards are real flimsy, not like Compact flash memory, and seem much more fragile. If I was going to choose what kind of flash memory to have in a camera or mp3 player, I'd go with Compact flash or MM flash memory, they are more robust and not so fragile.

This media has been perfectly reliable in capture and download through a Olympus C3040. With comparos between the Sony Memory disk and compact flash card twice the thickness, thereýs very little difference in r/w that I can notice. Using the 5-shot digital ýauto-winderý on the Olympus the card sucks the data down no problem. Even with repeated semi-auto firing, the memory card performs decently. It does lag 2048x1536 (medium quality) and it will do more so at higher levels ý but itýs no worse than other formats. USB download through OEM cables is rapid quick compared to the slower compact flash on Kodak DC265 for some reason.

The physical size is unbeatable. The wear and long term use is something to keep an eye on with the contacts exposed compared to the other formats. At this price, I have no complaints buying a bunch and shooting without capacity worries.

Good Idea if you want more from your Rio 500........2001-12-23

I purchased my Rio 500 two years ago and love it but at the time I thought the memory it came with was enough but now I purchased the 64 meg card and thanks to the reviews people put on Amazons site I downloaded the firmware and updated so my Rio 500 would take the 64 meg card. I couldnt get it to work at first but found out I had the card in up side down wich didnt look like it should go that way but the Rio recognised the external memory so if you have trouble keep working it will work in the 500. Here is the site I use to update the software, these folks have a super site for Rio players...
