Smart media cards

Anybody know where I can get any of these, cheap?

Every place I see them online wants $50+ for them and I can't afford that right now.

Jeffery,

I have one of those in my Fuji. But it is a back-up card. They have been discontinued for a couple years. Is it possible you have a second slot for a different kind of card?

I'd try here Jeffery - even airmail shouldn't be too expensive - and their service is second to none

Just checked there. They don't have it. They have lots of SD cards but I already have SD cards for my Vivitar camera. Wal-Mart, Walgreens and Radio Shack don't carry the SDSM cards either.

That is a SmartMedia card... and unfortunately they were one of the losers in the solid state memory wars (I had a couple with my Olympus as well). They were eventually replaced with the xD card, which of course has a completely different form.

This looks to be your best bet: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=smartmedia&category0=

Time to toss the camera, and upgrade yet again!

I can't afford to get a new camera.

If you have a laptop or convenient computer, I found that a card reader was an incredible improvement over downloading straight through the camera.
Something like these:

Yeah, I understand. I think you're going to be stuck with eBay, or the ones you've got.

There's a member on Trains.com who's sending me one, free.

I have a very good card reader already. It came with my Vivitar camera.

Rock on! Always a good deal there!

Excellent - nice card reader, esp. if it handles both types of cards.
