Question about Flash SmartMedia Card ?
I'm a bit confused by a the range of SmartMedia cards available for
purchase on the internet. I need another 128 mb SmartMedia card for my Fuji Finepix camera to add to the Lexar one I already have. Yet when I look at some of the other brands of 128 mb SmartMedia cards available, some say just SmartMedia and some say SmartMedia Flash. I know the one I have now that I bought with the camerca is not Flash, so if I buy one that says Flash, do I need some kind of adapter reader for it? And how would you use it? (I'm using win xp) How can I be sure the 128 mb SmartMedia card is not really Flash- because they look identical to me. Thanks for any input. |

Flash memory is normally used to describe memory that retains its data after the power is removed. -- Jan Otto |

Flash describes the type of memory... they're both the same. Choose whichever you like, basing it only on price, manufacturer, shipping cost, warranty. But given that you're in Canada too (I think) I'll tell you that there's a fellow in Calgary who dutch auctions brand new 128's often; they usually end up around 25US or 31 CDN with no charge for shipping. Search Ebay.ca, click canada only, and use the word smartmedia (not two words) and you should find 'em) Take care. Ken Oops, forgot the disclaimer. I have nothing to do with the seller mentioned other than being a customer Ken |
