Well worth every penny
I purchased 3 of these because my husband and I were going on an Alaskan cruise, and wanted to make sure we didn't run out of memory space (our Olympus 770SW has a very limited internal memory). That was definitely not a problem as we didn't even completely fill 1 up! On super-high quality, one of these cards holds about 590 pictures (over 1000 pictures on the next-highest quality). At about $30 each they were spendy, but in my opinion well-worth every penny. Only these Olympus cards will perform the Panorama function on our camera, and when you are trying to take pictures of such vast and amazing landscapes panorama is a very useful tool. But even if you aren't using the special functions that only Olympus cards support, it is still worth it to pay the extra money for the genuine item instead of one of the knock-offs (my experience with the Delkin battery tought me that-I wish I had spent the money for an Olympus battery as well). I didn't notice that it took any longer for my camera to record the pictures to the memory card than it does without a memory card, but it did seem to take longer to download the pictures to the computer (I did this by plugging my camera into the USB port. I haven't tried just plugging the card directly into my computer's XD port yet-that might go faster). I honestly don't know why anybody would buy a card with less memory space-I can't wait to see how much video it will hold when I use the camera's movie function!

Yep.
It's quick, it holds a lot of pictures (I get like 500 at 8mp), and it's never flubbed. Just what I would have expected from Olympus. Good product.

I am so pleased to be able to focus on the pictures at hand vs. worry if I have enough space to continue shootingt my pictures for the event. I am very happy also with the price that Amazon has allowed me to purchase this memory card.

Good choice...
You can get cheaper 2 GB cards but if you want to use it for panoramic pictures with your Olympus 850 SW (and others in the Olympus series) you will need this one. It costs more than the others but technology has its price I guess.
