 Unreliable - wouldn't trust it if I could! June 24, 2006
Sarah Lee (London, UK)

I received my card the first time round, and was happy to use it at a wedding. Everything seemed fine, although I did notice that at one point the light on my camera flashed longer/more orange than it should have - I had to force my camera off to make it stop. It seemed to work again after that.
However, returning home and putting the card into my card reader, half my pictures downloaded and then I was faced with a "the parameter is incorrect" error. (Note: this involved pictures prior to the event I mentioned above)I lost all the remaining pictures, when trying to view them on my computer there was a thin strip of visible picture, and grey space. This happened to me once before on a smaller capacity chip, but since I have been formatting it regularly, never again. I had followed all the instructions on the back of the new 1 MB chip, and had formatted the card prior to using it, etc. So to have this error was most frustrating!!
As I made the replacement request through Amazon, I then noticed that I had actually been sent a Type H card, even though the item listed was a Type M. I mentioned that in my response.
I received the replacement (incidentally it is again the wrong one, a Type H rather than a Type M), and figured I should check it before using it at another wedding tomorrow, and on holiday next week. I used it on a few small occasions. Coming tonight to download my pictures, the same thing happened! Fortunately, I downloaded the ones I most wanted first, "just in case". It is still a bother though!
Putting the card back in my camera, it said that it was "not initialised"! So I reformatted it. It worked fine again - but I didn't trust it. So I experimented with taking lots of pictures, and the varying the process of getting them on my computer. i.e. I experimented with copying them versus moving them, and I experimented with using the camera and USB cable versus my card reader.
Disappointingly, yet unsurprisingly, it has failed again (note: the pattern is that I was using my card reader each time). Browsing around on the internet and reading reviews here and elsewhere, I see someone say that this card should only ever be accessed through the camera. THIS IS STATED NO WHERE ON THE PACKAGING OF THE CARD I RECEIVED. However, I was willing to see if this is indeed the case, thinking I could maybe live with it for the benefit of such a large capacity. However, the card now does not even format in my camera, I get "Card unitialised", and when I try to format I get "Card error".
This time I'll get a refund, and stick to my trusty 128MB. I'll just have to find computers to upload my pictures on while I'm on holiday. I am very disappointed. If I could rate this a -1, I would!
 It's a bargain! January 6, 2007

It is what the title says - bargain.
Was going to buy them on high street but I was not ready to pay [...] for it. It's real 1GB with no catch. Just make sure that you buy this one for Fujifilm camera. I've realized that they are 2 types (H/M) of xD Picture Card out there which was later after purchase. They both work in both brands Fujifilm & Olympus just some panoramatic functions on Olympus cameras might not work. So, better make sure, which brand you're buying. This one on Amazon.co.uk is a real bargain.
Can do nothing else than strongly recommend it!
What can you say? It's an XD card January 17, 2006

What else can you say? It fits in the XD card slot on my camera and it holds lots of pictures, I haven't managed to find any other uses for it yet but I'm sure you'd be welcome to try.
Check camera 1Gb compatibility with Fuji before buying August 27, 2006

I was going to buy a 1Gb xD card for my Fuji camera but decided to check with Fuji due to the 'slow response' and other problems reported by some reviewers. For Fuji cameras go to their UK support area [at fuji.co.uk] and follow the link to 'will type H or M xD cards work in my camera' - this will show which Fuji xD cards your camera can use. This 1Gb card, being Fuji, won't work with an Olympus camera's auto-stitch panarama camera function, although it should still capture pictures provided that the Olympus camera is compatible with the Fuji xD card's size [Gb] and speed [M/H/M+].
Fuji's on-line compatibily chart states 512Mb max for mine and many older models. The only firmware upgrade for my model is for PixBridge not larger Xd cards. To be safe I ordered a Fuji 512Mb xD type M branded card instead, which Fuji state as the largest capacity for my model (and it works fine). Without doubt this also applies to Olympus cameras and their xD cards, so check with their support. All this is pretty essential if you have an older camera that was bought before 2007. Note that type M is normal speed and type M+ and H are the the newer faster high-speed xD transfer cards (1.5x and 2 to 3 x faster respectively) - again not always compatible with older cameras that can actually take a standard type M 1Gb xD card. Likewise newer cameras may accept a 2Gb type H xD card as well, which might be more tempting.
So overall 3* - although now that 1Gb xD card prices have plummeted from 80 plus to nearer a tenner, it's far less of an expensive mistake buying one today.
Great memory, and a super cheap price! December 25, 2006

I've own a couple of 1GB xD cards (both Fuji and Olympus branded), and I am glad to see them selling for such a bargain!
With the camera I own (Fuji FinePix E900), I can store around 300 9.1 Megapixel photographs on there, which works out at 5 pence per picture! (And unlike film, the card is re-useable!).
The best thing about these cards I find is that they are so sturdy! Even though they are about half the size of a standard SD card, they feel so much sturdier when handling them!
And if you are truly a bargain hunter though, buy with Amazon to avoid high-street prices of around 70!!
