I want add more memory to my Oly 5050 and cant decide on which type to go for.
I have the original 32Mb XD that came with the cam (Pointless), a spare 64Mb SD from a previous digi, but what now?
Should I go XD, SM, CF or MD?
Hopefully I can utilise my 64 SD, which means an option of either CF or MD!
After some research, I think the best solution is to keep the supplied Olympus 32Mb XD card for panoramic photos topside and add a compact flash card to the rig for UW use.
The one that I have chosen is the Sandisk Ultra2 256Mb which reads as the fastest card in the world, with good warranty, read/write times, reliability and cost (£47 from Ebay).
I have also sourced some Uniross 2300mAh AA's at £8.99 for 4 from here! which I beleive is the cheapest anywhere.
I wasn't aware there were two types of CF with the newer being twice as fast as the other, but for the sake of having to wait one second extra to read/write 1600kb (is that kilobyte or kilobit?) I can't see me bothering to pay the extra. I guess one second of your time is worth more than one second of mine
<font color='#0000FF'>Im not sure about SD cards matey, but they seem reasonable prices compared to XD & CF cards.
Bigger is better
