My All-Weather 2.5" LCD Olympus Stylus 600 6.0 Megapixel
has a 512 Meg xD card that when formated
says I can have over 348 HQ 2816x2112 Pictures
it cam with a Photo organizer program called
"Olympus Master" ver. 1.42
that lets you Download the Pictures to the HD,
to a CD, Email them, delete them or Edit/resize them..

It does NOT creat a DCIM folder..
instead it creats a 14 didget Numbered folder
the included the date/Time..

the Photos are each 1 meg JPG files..
