I am such a lucky boy - my comapnie was throwing away the above as they said it was broken - I greatfully accepted it!

There was corrusion on the battery connectors - cleaned it up and what do you know!

I have a very nice little keepy in the car camera.

It's only 2.1Mp but I think that is just about useable for certain things.

I have a question - Does anybody know what the media card type is called for this camera - it has a 16Mb card with it but no markings on.

And does anybody know what the maximum card memory size this camera can take?

No manual with it sadly.

According to dpreview, the specs are here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Ol...c2040z.asp

It says that a smartmedia card is used. I haven't seen one of those for a while!

My first digital camera was an olympus... loved it!

Cool! Free stuff is always good!

Smartmedia... now that's a blast from the past... can you even buy them these days?

You could probably find them somewhere, but I remember when I was buying some memory cards in Singapore about 2 weeks ago, someone pulled out a smartmedia card and asked if they sold it.... "no"

but with the internet.... can search and find!
My Olympus was 1.3mp. prime lens haha
the only bad thing is the battery compartment, to which the door broke, hence the end of the camera.

I had a good search on the web last night when I got home.

Seems there are a few places out there still selling smartmedia cards.

The camera came with a 16Mb card in it - holds about 70 images at 640 x 480.

So I am going to invest in a 64Mb card - about £9/£10 on Amazon.

One site said they sold a 128Mb card for the camera - I can't find any documentation elsewhere saying that the 2040 zoom supports this card.
