Hunting SmartMedia ...
Well,
If you have a device, camera or something else that relies upon this type of memory card, watch out ! Rumor is that they will cease production of this style of card within the month and they are already hard to find.
Got to love the disposable society we live in where scores of folks can rely upon something to work and the manufacturers can change 1 part, stop making that part, or otherwise engineer it to fail at a certain interval.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with my digital camera. It works great, one of the first Olympus models, the Camedia c3000 zoom. Its a fanstastic camera and takes great photos. PROBLEM-now the smart media cards that it stores the photos to soon will no longer be made.
Got to love the online retailers who list stuff on their sites but dont bother to tell you they dont have any more of that item. So after placing an order with an un-named retailer who actually did email me the next day to tell me they were out of stock. I have had to conduct a more intensive search for these cards.
If you need one try these guys, at UpGradeNation they said they were one of the last few to still have some in stock.
Should be getting my new cards in about a week so once they arrive, provided they do arrive and work, I will get some photos up.
