FUJIFILM DPC UD1

Advantages: Low price
Disadvantages: yellowish paper

...Fuji make the best conventional photo paper bar none, so when I walked into Jessops photo shop to buy a new pack of their own Photo paper, and saw the new Fuji Premium Glossy Inkjet Paper, I thought I'd give it a try. At £9.99 for 40 sheets against £16.99 for Jessops 50 sheets, a much better price. When I got it home, I printed some pictures. They were kind of lifeless. Then, I compared the paper against a sheet of the Jessops. What a difference. The Fuji was a murky yellow compared to the bright white of the Jessops. I just cannot understand what Fuji are up to here. Is their quality control not working? Are they trying to palm-off cheap paper as premium? Are they trying to ruin their reputation? OK, you pays your money and takes your choice but I'd be very wary about this paper - i't's just not up to the mark. Just to be clear... Read review

...Fujifilms version of digital picture storage cards is the XD card. I bought a 64mb XD card to go alongside my A210 Fujifilm digital camera, it cost around 14 pounds when I bought it last July. I was shocked by how small it actually was, its only a couple of milimetres thick, and is around 2 x 3 cm in area. The card itself is simple to use, you simply open the hatch on your camera, and insert it in the indicated slot. Its as simple as that. The card can hold different numbers of photographs depending on the set level of quality, specifically the number of megapixels. At 3 Megapixels it can hold around 25 photos, at 2 Megapixels around 50, and so on. In certain models of Fujifilm digital cameras, you can also create short videos, then store them on the XD card. The 64mb model can hold a maximum of 20 seconds of footage. If you do need... Read review

...The Fujifilm XD Picture Card (128mb) is a very small (aprox 1.5cm) Memory card used in most Fujifilm cameras. It was developed jointly between Fujifilm and Olympus to create the worlds smallest and very fast memory card, which Fuji dropped into their camera's to promote them. The XD picture cards have had an update in recent months where they got even faster, and can be distinguished from the older models by their blue writing (there are 2 versions of XD card, normal and fast) the older card is black with gold writing. The card i bought (128mb) holds enough for small cameras (1-3mpx) but anything over that its a struggle to squeeze all your images onto it, i get on average 30-50 images before i have to dump my memory onto a hard drive (at 6mpx). Price when it was released was around £50 (which unfortunately i paid) you can get 1GB... Read review
