Railfan Technology > Memory Card Question

I have a Nixon D50 for whiich I need to buy some memory cards. It takes Sandisk SD cards. It won't take an SDHC card--as I found out. These cards are not avaliable at your local retail outlets--Walmart, CVS, Walgreens. Not even B&H Camera has them. Any suggestions as to where I might find them? I wouldn't mind getting some XD cards for my old (relartively speaking) Olympus either. Thanks for your help.

The original SD cards topped out at 2GB.  Anything 4GB and above is an SDHC card.  Just look for a 2GB SD card and you won't have a problem using it in your D50.  A quick look at B&H shows they carry a couple of different 2GB SD cards.

xD cards have also changed over time, so you need check what's compatible with your specific camera model.  There is a chart on the Olympus website: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_xdcompatibility.asp
At the upper left there are links to sub-menus for each camera series (ie Stylus, FE, D-series).  If you have a really old Olympus, it may be a bit harder to find non-M-type xD cards, as I don't believe there is much support for the xD card anymore (Olympus and Fuji no longer use them).

They're all over eBay and cheap!

Amazon is a good source for older types of memory cards.
