lesliepear Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Anyone seen any deals (BF or not) on xD memory cards - I love my Olympus Camera, but hate the propriatary xD memory cards
Marcster Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I was considering buying an Olympus camera, but I am hesitant to get it because of the lousy xD cards and their high prices in comparison to SD. That being said, the best price I've found is $22.68 @ amazon.com (free shipping if over $25):http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-xD-Picture-Card-Type/dp/B000WON3BM
cassgurlie04 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Ummm i bought an Olympus 2GB XD memory card type M at my local walmart bout 2 weeks ago for 15 bucks even.......... it may have been on clearance or something because i know their prices are usually like.88 .97 and stuff like that, but you might wanna check.
wx4svr Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I actually like my xD card. Never had problems with them, hold a lot, and they are small enough to throw in a pocket and never know its there (could be a bad thing I guess.) But my Nikon D90 takes a few different cards with an adapter. I get to choose what kind of card I want. lol.

You can get a 8 GB Class 6 SDHC card for around $18.99, but a lousy 2GB of xD is $22.68.
gbeenie Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Office Max (who always seem to have good deals on media cards on BF) is going to have a 2gb xD card for $14.99 on Black Friday.
