You will want some Xd or SM and CF both. That way you can keep 2 cards in the camera at all times. I will warn you that SM has some problems with being incorrectly formatted and distroying it usefullness in a camera (I have 2 64mbs to prove it) Unless there is some other reason you want SM, I would go with a XD/CF combo. h
I just realized I assuming you are using a C5050, if not some of this may not apply but I decided to leave it for others.

I just got my Oly5050 and am trying to get it ready for a dive trip in a three weeks. SInce this will be my first outing, Im hopeing you can give some input towards the card/s I should use. I am doing a live aboard, so Im looking for the "most bang for my buck" so to say. Im leaning towards at 512mb card and a smaller one. Any opinions?
