Smartmedia Card Error
I had also card error, with a 16 and a 128M cards, and solve this problem, only by reformating the card using the SMFORMAT.EXE file found at this address:

Smart media card errors.
You stick the card in your camera, and get the message "Card Error"Buying a new card is almost inevitable.I lost an 8mb, and had a 64mb card at the edge of the old round file.

What has happens, is that "Windows" formating has corrupted the smart media format on the card. This happens when you edit or delete files on the card thru a card reader attached to your computer.It is always a good idea to delete files, and format your card only in the camera.Otherwise you risk the "Card Error" message the next time you try to use the card in your camera.

The cards can be recovered, but only by recovering the original formatting. (...)
I had no clue what was being said here, but the breadth of what I read sent my 8mb smart media card to the trash.

When I lost my 64mb card to a similar error. I felt it was worth trying to restore the formatting. But the above web site had some OS restrictions and didn't seem to work without significant hardware, software, and knowledge.Seeing all the people with similar errors led me to believe that someone had to have a simple way to recover the card to it's original state. This is when I discoved WinHex. (...)

WinHex used a simple copy and paste editor GUI, and some conveneintly supplied DAT files to fix the "Card Error".
It is possible that other "hex" editors can do the same thing as long as you have the proper DAT file to replace the damaged file system.
Buying a new card is always an option though... : )

replacing after format lost
I am replacing a 128MB card after one of two I owned lost its format.I had the card in an Olympus P440 photo printer (using a PCMCIA adapter).While printing, I lost power to the printer.When I powered everything up again, some of the image data was lost and errors were diaplyed on the printer.When I reinserted the card into my Olympus 3040 camera, it diplayed a card error and refused to reformat with the tool icon.So I threw the card away.This is the only problem I have had in 2+ years, but it seems like a serious design flaw for a card that should have only been open for a read function.

some problems
I bought two of these cards a little less than a year ago
and they worked great until recently.I had 160 images on
one card and when I tried to upload them to my Dell (which
I have done with success many times) I got
"Disk is not formatted."I tried uploading to an IBM PC
and got the same message.When I put the card into an HP
printer (that I have had success with in the past) I got
"Error on card."I was pretty depressed by this since the
images were taken over several weeks for a documentation
project.As a last effort, I tried uploading the images to
an HP computer, and that worked fine - so they were saved.
I tossed the defective card.I had in no way mistreated it.
This experience has taught me to upload my pictures more
frequently - you could lose a lot of valuable images.

Go Ahead and Spend the Extra Money
While it is true that the Olympus media cards are used mostly for being able to utilize the panoramic picture option, I have just experienced a problem with a generic brand Smart Media card after owning my Camedia 2040 for two years.I purchased the card this summer, and it worked fine for a while, but now suddenly and unexpectedly for some unknown reason (I had removed the card to view the pictures on the computer with a reader), the camera says the card is not formatted.The 100+ pictures are still on the card, and it is not full, but I can no longer use it for taking pictures or viewing pictures in the camera viewer.

I put my old full Olympus cards in and the camera recognizes them right away and displays the pictures in the camera viewer.I can view the pictures on the generic card with my reader on the computer, but the card itself now seems to be useless.I think I paid close to $40 for the card at a warehouse club.My advice is to spend a little more and get the Olympus card made for the camera so you don't wind up in a situation where your cheaper generic card suddenly goes out in the middle of an unrepeatable moment or occasion. ...

How many pictures will it store?
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 Lexar Media 128MB SMARTMEDIA DIGITAL FILM, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera,64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 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.

128 megs, quite enough
This media card was just the thing I was looking for. I have a Rio One mp3 player with only 32 megs onboard and with this media card I expanded it to 160 megs, that's about 160 minutes of near cd quality music. So, I'm very satisfied with it. ... Read more

Check your camera first!
Today with lot's of storing media running around, you must be careful into choosing the right one that's for you, and also, you must check your camera manual so you can know up to how much memory it can stand, some time ago I bought a polaroid PDC-640 cam, and it wont take smartmedia cards larger than 8MB, so be careful in choosing!

Nice
Before you buy this product, make sure it's compatible with the camera you want to use it in. This 32mb smart media card is a nice fat batch of memory for storing your digital camera's photos. It's 4 times the size of memory from the 8mb that consumers often get with their digital cameras. Depending on the settings in which you snap your pictures, you can fit up to approximately 200 photos on this card! I've maxed out and re-used my card dozens of times and I have never encountered any problems with it. Assuming I snap a good photo with my camera, the images are stored in their brilliant, colorful and clear quality. This card (which is the size of a quarter) is very reliable and not difficult to use. Don't be dissuaded by the price, it's worth it considering that you'll be re-using it many times unlike regular film.

bought wrong kind - check your camera!
I wanted to buy a new smart media card for my digital camera.I thought the 32mb cards would be great.Only thing is my camera, 2 years old, won't support the card.It will only recognize cards up to 16 mb.Please be sure to check your cameras guidlines before purchasing accessories!

A few Querks
I own an Oly C2100 and love digital over film!The fact that you can delete, view, do movie/audio....its a lot to remember.I have the 8mb smartmedia that came with the Oly and like everyone, found out that a plain 32mb smartmedia card wouldn't let me select 'panorama' just when I needed it, made me HOT.I took the the shots and they where OK but the lighting did change a bit between frames.I wouldnt have bought the 'plain' card had I know before( but 'If' and 'Ida' were playing this card game).The second issue is the 'scratch factor'.I have only removed the 8mb card 6 times and I notice certain areas of the metal surface beginning to wear.Take care to insert/remove the card gentley and at the proper orientation(square) as the clearance in the the camera slot and reader slot is too tight. I find that setting the image size down one size (most 2.1 megapixals default at 1200x1600) allow more photo storage and one less step to take when emailing and printing.Also take a lot of shots and enjoy as this media (camera/card) will be obsolete before we know it. ...

Great storage, too slow
I'm using this smartmedia with my Samsung Digimax 200. Although I relate this phenomenon to the smartmedia format per-se, it does make your camera slower. After using this card it took nearly 26 seconds for the camera to be ready to take a shot. That includes initialization and flash charge. This is way much longer than with the original 8MB card. So it's not that this particular brand is bad, but the higher capacity the card has, more you'll have to wait to initialize your camera.
Besides that, this was a great purchase, along with a simpletech smartmedia USB 2.0 reader.

Happy with the Card
The card seemed to make my camera a little slower to get ready after I turn it on. Besides that I am very happy and it was so cheap too !

Fast, Easy, and Inexpensive Memory
If you're using it for a digital camera, PDA, or an mp3 player you can expect speed and quality from the SimpleTech 128 MB Smart Media Card. First of all, it adds a lot of extra memory at an inexpensive price. With a 2.1 megapixal digital camera, you can take 160 full-quality pictures instead of 40 or 80 that you would get with a 32 or 64 MB Smart Media Card. It also stores pictures faster than many other brands, allowing you to take pictures quicker. If you own any device using Smart Media memory that is compatible with 128 MB, you shouldn't settle for less.

SimpleTech SmartMedia is slower than other brands
I have three brands of SmartMedia cards: SimpleTech, Viking, and the Olympus card that came with my camera.I timed how long it took to copy the same 5MB file to each card.The result:the other cards took 32 seconds and the SimpleTech took 38 seconds.So, my results show that the SimpleTech is about 18% slower than the others. That's important to me because when I take action shots I'm often waiting for the previous image to write to disk before I can take the next shot.

Ditto
The only thing I can add to the previous review is that the Smartmedia was well packaged. There is a statement with the card that says "The Smartmedia has a limited life span, and will eventually become incapable of performing WRITE/ERASE functions after long-term use. When this happens please replace it with a new one." If this is the case will all Smartmedia cards then what is long-term? I've only has mine about 3 weeks so far.

Might not be worth the price premium
SmartMedia is sold under several brands. Olympus branded SmartMedia allowsyou to take "panorama" shots. Essentially, you take multipleshots while making sure to overlap edges. You then reassemble thesemultiple shots using the "Camedia" software that came with yourOlympus camera. The difference is that when an Olympus brand SmartMediacard isused, your digital camera keeps exposure settings constant acrossthese multiple shots; which makes for a consistent panorama when youreassemble the individual shots via your computer.

This is a nicefeature, but not a feature most of us use often; for example, on a recenttwo week trip, I took 220 shots of which only 12 were panorama. If you aregoing to purchase multiple SmartMedia cards, you might be able to do withjust one or two Olympus brand cards - especially since they cost more thanother brands. I use two other brand SmartMedia cards, and save my Olympusbrand cards for when panorama shots present (since you can switch the cardsout at anytime - unlike traditional camera film).

Also to realisticallydetermine what the price premium is, check prices for Olympus and otherbrand SmartMedia not only here, but also at other popular commercial sites. ... Read more

Excellent, high-quality memory card.
The Viking 32 MB SmartMedia memory card is an excellent quality card that works as promised. Its suppliers deliver my orders at the speed of lightening or e-mail. I've used the Viking SmartMedia cards exclusively for the last two years without a single problem. The photos are clear.I have no problem retrieving them off the card. My Olympus Digital 3.0 MP Camera D550 records about 350 photos at 640X480 resolution. The Viking price on Amazon.com is the best on the market.

Works great
I've ordered three of these things.They work great.Never had any problems.They come with a nice plastic case that is perfect for storing the cards in my camera bag.

Update:
I think I own about six of these by now (12/2003).Still, no problems.

get it free with camera purchase
If that doesn't qualify for a 5 rateing I don't know what does. Increases (at 1600x1200) amount of pictures you take from 16 on the 8 meg card to 64.

I used it for photos of my daughters wedding
I have had mine for awhile now and can't think of being without it. I use it mainly for my digital camera.I take allot of pictuers so it gets lots of use. Its like haveing a hard drive for my photos.The transfer rate is fast and flawless. I am going to order a few more just to have them. You know I trust it when I used it for the photos of my daughters wedding. I have some that were more expensive but they don't work any better then this one does.

Great addition for my first digital camera
I bought this to go with my new Olympus Camedia D370 digital camera.It is a GREAT addition.Not only does it increase the capacity of the camera several fold, there was no setup.I inserted the media and boom!Extra capacity. . . ... Read more

I Want my Panoramic Pictures
OK, so the olympus cards are a little on the pricey side, but you definitly get a quality product in return.So the price is the only real obstical preventing a five star rating.I got the card because it does support the panoramic function on my Olympus camera. Imagine that, the Olympus SmartMedia cards are the only ones that are compatible with the Olympus Camera's panoramic function.That said, its worth paying the extra money if you have an olympus camera witha panoramic function, but wait for it to go on sale, that's what I did.

Reformat exorsices woes
With both a Olympus 64MB card and now a SanDisk 128MB card there's no fear of ever running out of media space even when traveling.The 64MB will handle 128 HQ shots (high def.), 665 SQ shots (standard def.) on my Olympus D-490 Zoom (2.1 Megapixel).The SanDisk 128MB Smart Media card twice as many.SHQ (Super-high quality) slows things down a bit.
The Olympus card started acting up a week ago:It would only hold 23 standard shots.Two calls to Tech support did not reveal a high degree of service and I learned they do not warrant the card.Fortunately reformating fixed the problem.

Great Price For This Card - Lots Of Pics
I'm no Ansel Adams - but I wanted a good quality card that was going to last a while. My 8MB was useless for quantity. I bought this 64MB (and another later) and found I could get:

664 SQ (Standard Quality) Photos-good only for web pages
199 HQ (High Quality) Photos-good enoug for small prints
71 SHQ (Super High Quality) Photos-great for good prints up to 5 X 7 inches.

This does not include 'panaramic shots', which take up more memory.I also shopped around and found that Amazon had the best prices. Of course, the 128MB card stores more pics, but the price jump was significant.

Don't worry about 'refurbished' media cards.They are just fine, cheaper and have the same warranty as 'new' cards.

I just shoot my pics and mail them off when I am on vacation. I never have to worry about getting my camera stolen or misplaced and losing my pictures.What else do you need?

64mb Smart Media Card
I have not received my camera as yet, therefore I cannot type a review or opinion regardng same.I will be happy to do so when I receive my camera.

Useful and cost effective
This 64 mb card is a useful accessory because it enables you to take more and higher quality pictures.Great when going on vacation. ... Read more

a great memory card
I purchased four of these cards nearly two years ago, before the 128 meg cards came down in price. It looks like the 128 meg cards are becoming the mainstay of the Smart Media format for the rest of its time until replaced in the rapidly evolving field of flash memory devices.

This makes sense. The 128 meg cards are now cheaper than the first 64 meg card I got.

I have used them in Olympus 2040 and 3040 cameras since getting them, and have never had a malfunction from any of them in either camera or the readers I use.

Great card...
Its a great card and [reasonably priced] in comparison...I upgraded to the 128 m, still keep this around for the time i neeed to take hundreds of pics.

It works sooooo well!
I just wanted to let you guys know that this smartmedia card is GREAT for its price.Now if you are still pondering about buying it, BUY it, because its totally worth it.And compared to all the other smartmedia cards, this is the just as good as Olympus and Fuji smartmedia cards.And look, its 20 some dollars, thats like a new shirt.Enjoy and happy picture taking, or mp3 listening or PDA using (whatever you use your smartmedia card for!).

great deal
got a great deal, works great.as always bigger is better...if you can...go for 128 megs

ripped off by techdepot
I ordered this product 64mb smartmedia.They sent me 32mb smartmedia. will never shop amazon again. The distributor was techdepot (an office depot co.). LATTER AMAZON!!!!

Beware the packaging
The card seems to work OK. It comes with a coupon for 20 4x6 prints at Target, bring in the digital pictures on the card and save $5.80. (Since I don't have a camera that takes Smartmedia, I will have to transfer them from my computer to the card.) My gripe is with the packaging. The plastic is really tough and you can't open it up by cutting along the top or sides. The bottom has a "--- Cut here ---" line, and if you follow it exactly... you'll chop off the bottom of the card.Luckily, the part that got chopped off on mine has no circuitry and the card still works.(But if the card had slipped down a little more, it could easily have gotten ruined.) ...

SmartMedia cards are preformatted for cameras...
SmartMedia cards are preformatted for cameras. If they are reformatted, their original formatting is permanently lost. I have several SmartMedia cards for my camera and one that is dedicated to my Mp3 player. My camera, unfortunately, cannot reformat my Mp3 player card, but all of my cards work flawlessly in their dedicated tasks. I would prefer that any card could be used for either purpose, but the SmartMedia card was designed for cameras - the fault, if any, lies with the Mp3 designer's choice of memory cards. But had the designer made a different choice, the incompatibility would be electrical AND physical!!!

Works great for me
Contrary to the review below, my SmartMedia memory from Lexar works just fine. I received it free as an incentive for buying a new digital camera from another vendor and I have since taken hundreds of pictures on it, all flawless. The only downside to this particular card is its high price compared to the SanDisk and Viking brand SmartMedia cards.

panorama gets addictive
As the other reviews make plain, how much you appreciate the Olympus carddepends on whether you use the panorama function.If you are a new userwho doesn't think they will need the function, try out your camera beforedeciding.Using an Olympus D360L, which has digital zoom but not opticalzoom, I found that there were shots that were *just* too wide, esp. ofgardens and buildings.So while the "traditional" panorama mightbe of four pictures stitched together to get the horizon, a city skyline, aview from the top of the Empire State Building, etc., I now use thepanorama function regularly just to stitch two photos together and get aslightly wider view on a subject.Some days (as a tourist) these arebetween a quarter and a third of the photos I take.That's when it becomestoo inconvenient to switch cards and the Olympus card is worth the extracharge.

Worth the price premium!
This is a great card even though you don't really pay apremium.Of the 3 32 MB Smart media cards currently on amazon thisone this the median price with the Sandisk card being ( )less and the New Media card ( ) more (as of 5/26/00).If you own an olympus digital camera with a panorama feature this is the card to get and is certainly worth the extra money. I use this card more than my 64 MB SanDisk because it has that awesome panorama mode!END

It works
This thing is fast and works well however for my next reader I will be getting one that does both Compact Flash and Smartmedia. Most cameras nowadays are Compact Flash so that limits the usability of this device unless all you're going to be using it for is Smartmedia.

Good Card Reader
I have had this reader for 8 months. I have not had any problems with it at all. Good buy for a smart media reader.

Way better than connecting cables
I like this adapter!It works as advertised and the pcmcia card is better to carry around than the cable.The reason for only 4 stars: I asked a question via their website (warranty activation).The automated response promises contact within 24 hours, but havent heard from them in for 3 days.I will try again.

Great product, no problems
I'm using this product to read the SmartMedia cards from my Fuji Finepix 1400 digital camera.My laptop is old and doesn't have a USB port, so I chose to go the PCMCIA route instead.It works very well with the Windows 95 OS I have installed, and detected drivers automatically.Whenever I pop a memory card in (I have 8 MB and 4 MB), a window pops up with the card's directory (it is read as a removeable harddrive).Very nice.The memory card slides completely in the PCMCIA card, with a littlefloppy-disk-eject-button-like tab to push it back out.I really like this product.The only complaint I would have is that you have to look up installation info online (the card comes sealed in a static bag with labels on it... no box or instructions).

Great Value for the Money!
Purchased this adapter to go with my two 64MB SmartMedia Cards purchased here on Amazon.com.I purchased a Olympus D490Z Camera recently, and wanted these accessories to handle more storage and quick retrival with my Notbook Computer.Don't let the Camera Vendors over charge you on accessories.Viking products work great with the Olympus brand cameras. ...
