Diff. Packaging...

imet · 1st May 2004

...was @ eastgear yesterday afternoon saw the olympus xD card but the packaging is not from the original olympus instead it is with a brand name Lexar. Is there any diff. in olympus xD cards? Is there anything that I shd look out for b4 I buy? Aprreciate ur advise.

Lexar is a memory manufacturer, that's all. Olympus, to my guess, shouldn't make their own cards - they'd OEM from another company.

Ask Daniel or David to give you a guarantee

Seriously both the cards work the same, no performance difference. But I know you would *feel* better if the card is original "Olympus". (we all went through the same psycho when young

)
