Ritz Camera refunded me for the 20-in-1 and sold me the xD-only card reader. The sales guy was surprised because this card reader is supposed to be compatible with everything.Īnother USB card reader was available that was xD only. This 20-in-1 card reader can literally fit every other format except xD. I was told by the sales guy that it would fit xD picture cards. They did, however, have a 20-in-1 USB card reader. I wasn't surprised because no one else has it either. They didn't have that specific Olympus USB cable. So I headed over to Ritz Camera at the Citrus mall in Tampa. I figured there must be a solution to this. What happens if this cable ever fails? Am I doomed to never get the data off the camera and into my computer? The USB cable thing has always bothered me. So anyway, the battery thing I can deal with. ![]() The SP-320 has a mini-USB port that only works with the cable provided with the camera. ![]() Tip to anyone with this camera: Don't bother buying lithium ion batteries. I keep the package behind the seat of my truck because whenever I need them, because I usually only need the camera when I'm out and about somewhere. It's only eight bucks for these and it takes me a long time to go thru them. Solution: I keep video recording to a minimum and buy 24-packs of Ray-O-Vac AA batteries at Wal-Mart. ![]() However, record any video with it and it'll suck the life right out of it - literally. Granted, if you take nothing but pictures alone (which is what it was designed to do), the batteries will last all day. This digital camera should have been designed to take three AA's instead of two. Since purchasing my Olympus SP-320 digital camera, my two biggest complaints are: Olympus xD picture card compatibility troubles
