Smart Media, Compact Flash, and  now I'm seeing a lot of SD
(secure digital) and MMC (multimedia card). I don't know much
about SD except that they cost more and are slower than CF. I
know nothing about the MMC cards.

Over here they are said to be going over to something called

XD Picture Cards

whatever they are, anyone know much about them.
Here in the uk they are flogging of stocks of smartcard digital
cameras as a result of the changeover.
   

xD is a format jointly agreed by FujiFilm and Olympus.  I don't know 
whether anyone else has adopted it.  My FujiFilm S304 is xD.  Someone 
(Adolfo, I think) had an xD camera working under 9.0, but mine wasn't 
recognised until the 2.4.21 kernel.  I installed that with 9.0 and it 
worked fine.  Of course there is no problem at all with 9.1.

Physically they are about half the size of a SmartMedia card, and 
store at a much higher density.  They use less power, and store the 
pics quicker.

Thank you Anne I didn't know about them at all.

I will look into it a bit further myself.
