XD Memory Card Convertor

[lou100]

Hi, I have a Olympus camera with an xd memory card, which i understand is being phased out now. I have a kodak camera printer which I want to use the card on but it's an SD only, is there a convertor out there? Does anybody know which as I just can't get my head round it all - there's so much and I can't afford to buy the wrong thing...thanks in advance, x

Amazing, I posted the identical question recently, and I don't know why and means I'm stuck with loading my photos onto the computer, onto an SD card and then use it. Had they simply provided a usb port like almost every other then you could use a flash memory although still need to get them from your computer as well.

I lost a whole line there, it read 'they make every other type except that'. There's nothing to stop them making one but presumably need sufficient demand. An engineer could build one but it's a pig of a job and few would want to.

I just saw your reply bri, if you can actually find one on that search (and on ebay) you're a better man than I am, they don't exist.

Kodak do a converter (72-in-1) model A270 which i got recently from tescos for about £15.

It has a slot specifically for XD cards. plugs straight into a USB socket

Is this any help

I have a similar problem.
Don't know whether this is what you're looking for? http://www.amazon.co....qid=1311524007&sr=1-3
It's an xD size/shape card adaptor that takes micro SD (TF) cards.

Sorry puternut, certainly on my Kodak printer it's one of the only ones I've ever seen without a USB input. Had I realised that at the time I may have thought again but besides the print quality their ink is a fraction of the others so am just putting up with the little inconvenience of having to transfer the photos on and off the computer when I print them. I hope someone eventually finds a way round it or better still manufactures an adaptor.

Chrisrob, I've seen adaptors for every single variation including SD to XD, but the only one we can use is XD to SD, not micro.
