Beware - the picture is not what is delivered
I ordered 2 of these cards becuaes Fuji are discontinuing their original XD cards and replacing them with new H or M versions.

Of course, these don't work on camereas that are 2 or more years old as well, or at all - my S5000 will take stills but not video with the new cards.

What was actually delivered were 2 H XD cards, the very thing I was trying to avoid.

Amazon - please replace the picture and technical information with the correct details!

A vital purchase...
I wish to earn back some respect for this product! Many reviews here down rate the XD card for the wrong reasons - I'm afraid that if it is not compatible with your camera it's your own fault, not the XD card's!!!

Now, as memory cards go, there is nothing wrong with the 512MB XD from Fuji. You will need to buy one, because most camera manufacturers only supply a useless 16MB card or similar. At 6 megapixels on my Fuji F10, I can get about 160 photos on. However, finding that 6MP is excessive, and shooting on 3MP, I can get closer to 400+ images on the card. It is a lot of money for something the size of a postage stamp, but the Amazon price is very good (honestly!). Card comes in a protective plastic case too.

Great card - if it's compatible.
I just bought the 256MB version of this card and it's excellent. While looking at the reviews the only people to give it a bad rating were people who found the card is not compatible. I thought i'd list the ones this new M/H card has problems with (taken from the outer packaging that comes with the card):
Not compatible:
M603 & F700
The following may take longer to write to card, or experience interuption of movie recodring at 640x480 pixels:
S5000, S7000, F610 & S20 Pro.
The following are compatible after a firmware upgrade:
A330, A340, F710, A120.
You can also ring their helpdesk on 0870 0841310

I have the E510 and it works with no problems.

Very good purchase
I bought this card one month ago and I am happy to have it. I've been to a trip in Eastern Europe and used it there. I had no problems with it and can recommend it as a very good purchase

Okay, but check compatibility first
This thumbnail sized card does exactly what it says. And with so much memory for so few pounds, those big RAW format images become viable.

However, this is a type M/H card, which means that it uses a funky but slightly different compression method to give more byte for the buck. So there are some compatibility issues with older Fuji cameras.

For FujiFilm's online Fuji camera compatibility chart, I recommend that you visit www.fujifilm.co.uk/media/xdtypem to make sure that this card will be okay for your camera.

Otherwise 5 stars (and five more stars for Amazon's free delivery)
