What is Standard type xD?
The xD Picture Card is an ultra-compact memory media that has been developed jointly by Fuji and Olympus and was introduced in 2002. The standard xD picture card writes at 3.0mb/s and reads at 5.0mb/s.

What is type M?
The Type M was released in late 2005 and uses Multi Level Cell (MLC) architecture to achieve higher storage capacities. The Type M card suffers some compatibility issues with older cameras (especially video recording). The Olympus card has marginally slower read/write speeds than the their standard card & writes at 2.5mb/s and reads at 4.0mb/s. Fuji Type M cards have identical operating specifications to the standard Fuji card.

What is type H?
Olympus Type H picture card can attain write speeds of up to 2-3 times faster than the standard or Type M Picture Card. Speed is dependent on camera's on board controller & shooting modes. Fuji Type H cards use different methods of digital encoding but have identical operating specifications to the standard Fuji card.

Shame I missed this. I have 2 olympus cameras that take XD cards.

Looks like amazon are out of stock and they're providing you with it from the cheapest marketplace seller. Before, it was real Amazon stock. Dodgy Amazon! (IMHO)

Great find, but seems to be back up in price now. I would have bought one, I already have one but at this price would have been fab to have the extra storage on holiday - off to las vegas in sept.
