1199171 2011-05-03 10:35:00 My son came for a holiday from UK and gave me a surplus digital camera.
It is an Olympus C- 310 ZOOM Camedia, 3.2mp.
I would like to get my wife taking her own photos with this and thought it would be a good chance to get her interested in photography.
I have d/l the manual, put batteries in, (all lights up) but it needs an XD card.
The manual says.....xd cards 16mb to 512 mb. I went to PB thinking to get a low mb card for cheap. "YOU'l BE LUCKY" . They had one card, 2gb for $44. I do not want to spend this much just to find out if I can get the camera to function, plus the 2gb is too high for the old cam. My ?. Does any one know where I can get an old (low spec) xd card cheap. I tried T.ME bUT NOTHING LOW ENOUGH.

1199172 2011-05-03 11:44:00 I was hoping, thinking, someone might have an old low spec XD card they would sell. gradebdan (2186)

1199174 2011-05-03 12:03:00 Hi Beetle,
It seems that only the 'OLYMPUS CARD" will enable the panoramec view.
However this is not important in my situation.

1199175 2011-05-03 14:15:00 I believe that you are right in that only Olympus cards will do the wide angle picture thing.

Older Olympus Camera's are restricted to I think 1gb cards, the newer models can take the bigger cards.

Where in NZ are you.?

If you get stuck, I am in Christchurch end of next week and I might have a 16mb card in my stock of old camera bits and pieces that if I can find, I could post to you.

PM me if you are interested and we can work it out but it will be I think the 13th May, wee hours before I get in and probably that weekend before I can look for it.

1199176 2011-05-03 21:07:00 yeah ok .

i have a 16 and a 128? i think since i now use a 1? if that sounds correct .

i can send one to you and you can see if it works, if not sned it back no probs . . . . ? cost of postage would be fine?

but its not olypus . . . . . . . . its fuji so it wont be able to do all the other things you said like panoramicveiw .
