My digital camera is an Olympus which, like Sony, uses a proprietary memory card format for it’s cameras, namely, xD. I wonder if they make an xD card that is basically just an adapter for a micro-SD card? Cause I have three 1 gig micro SD cards for my phone/Nintendo DS, and it would be nice to be able to take a picture, and then out it in my phone and email it to someone, or put it in my DS and…umm…look at it? (Though there is probably some homebrew that will let me email it from the DS’s WiFi if I want.)

I searched on google, but it was a lot of wading through stores selling micro-SD cards and xD cards, or card-readers.

From Wikipedia:

> There are adapters which allow a microSD card to be used in devices intended for SD, miniSD, or MemoryStick Duo cards, however they are not universally compatible.

I think you’re out of luck for xD cards.
