Olympus XD Picture Cards - H vs M+

[scubamgb]

I know, I know....I've been on the SB forum a lot lately! This trip on the Nekton is going to stress the heck out of me

Question - when I originally bought my SP-350 I bought an H 1G xD picture card. In getting ready for a liveaboard trip I thought it would be a good idea to get another picture card. Here in Toronto, I could only find a M+ 2G picture card.

What is the difference in the H & M+? I asked the person at the camera store and he didn't even know an H type picture card existed. He mumbles something about the M+ card writing slower. Is this truth or fiction?

Any feedback on the difference between the two would be appreciated. I like the fact of having more memory but not the slower writing time.

This has been answered here before, you may want to do a search for more details, but the H card is the fastest. It is hard to find, but last summer I was still able to buy some 2 gig cards after a Google search. I haven't looked lately.

Good luck,

Wally
