Fujifilm XD Picture Card (128mb)

Advantages: Fast, Tiney Physical Size, Decent storage for price
Disadvantages: Not as wide spread as SD + Compact Flash

...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...

Review of Fujifilm XD-Picture Card 128 MB

A brilliant card with plenty of capacity

Advantages: more than enough photos
Disadvantages: only really useable in cameras

...Out of the 3 cards i own this is by far the best. It is easy to use has plenty of capacity and i think it is more compatible with my camera than the other branded XD cards. But first just a few statistics: if you have a 5, 6, 7, 8 or 10 mega pixel camera this card will hold 815, 675, 570, 500 or 400 photos respectively, which is obviously double the capcity of a 512mb card. You are also able to store at least 18 minutes of video on this card (best quality with sound) and at poorer qualities without sound you are able to hold nearly four hours. In terms of size and weight this card is no bigger than any other XD card and is smaller than other model cards such as compact flash, in fact it can be compared in size to a penny. From my personal experience i have found this card to be perfect in terms of capacity. I have taken it on many...

Review of Fujifilm XD-Picture Card 256 MB

This will seem small beer in a few years time

Advantages: Huge capacity, tiny format
Disadvantages: Olympus own-brand are sold at a premium

...With the relentless increase in digital camera resolution, 'traditional' memory cards find it difficult to keep up with technological progress. Add to this, the fact is that new formats live or die by the 'take-up' figures of consumers, it's important that you back the 'right' memory format! It was with this in mind, that Olympus and Fuji got together to produce a joint standard , known as xD-Picture Card. The primary purpose of an xD memory card is to provide removable storage for digital cameras, but that doesn't mean it's restricted entirely to that task. Aimed as a direct competitor to existing formats (Compact Flash, Smart Media, MicroDrive, SD, Sony's Memory Stick etc) the xD card was designed to offer high transfer speed access, large capacity, small format, and in the case of Olympus brand; special features only...

Review of Olympus 1GB xD Picture Card

~~EXTREME STORAGE FOR PHOTO HOBBYISTS~~

Advantages: Could handle additional enhancement of the photos
Disadvantages: Quite little expensive than the normal XD photo cards

...Disk), SmartMedia (Toshiba), Multimedia Card (Siemens AG & SanDisk), Memory Stick (Sony), and Secure Digital (Panasonic, Toshiba, Sandisk). ***WHATand WHY's xD picture card? In 2002, xD (eXtreme Digital) picture card is introduced by Olympus and Fujifilm, three years after I bought my IR500 Olympus digital camera. Inclusive of my camera purchase is a 16-MB of picture card able to store/keep up to 16 photos at 4 megapixels or 34 seconds of a video clip. Because of its memory limitation, I decided to buy a 64 MB card early this year which is capable to capture a maximum of 65 images and 2.18 minutes of video recording. Ironically, being a frequent traveller, my camera is always my companion and most of the time I take a lot of photos during my trips and having two picture cards (80 MB in total) are not enough to store my shoots and short videos...

Review of Olympus HIGH Speed XD-Picture CARD 512 MB

Good little memory card

Advantages: Fast write speeds
Disadvantages: Can be a bit fiddely

...I brought this for use with my Fuji Finepix S9600, as I tend to take a lot of photos first, and then delete those I dont like when I get back to the comfort of my own home, where I can decide which photos are best. XD cards are nice becuase of their small size, although this can make them a bit fiddly for people who have larger fingers, but easier to store, depending on what sort of cary case/card wallet you have for the cards. The write speed is quite fast, and is usefull for most photography, however, I would prefer to use a Compact Flash Card if I needed to take a larger number of photos. I would reccomend this for most people's needs, such as holiday snaps or a day out in the park....

Review of Fujifilm XD-Picture Card 1024 MB

fujifilm xd 128mb card

Advantages: large memory, easy transfer
Disadvantages: small size. price.

...i quickly out grew the 16mb card i got with my camera, so invested in the 128mb xd card. good choice. i have listed price as a dissadvantage, but it seems that the price has come down alot since i bought mine, so shop arround and find the best deal you can befor buying. the card operates in the same way as the 16mb version, only the staorage is much much higher, i have been getting arround 100-110 high quality pictures on this card, seems alot to take, but when your on holiday downloading them to your pc is not possible. so you still have to be a bit carefull about what pictures you want to keep or delete, after all you dont want to miss any memories of your hard earned holiday. transfering the pictures is still just as easy, although my pc takes a while to bring all the thumbnails of 100 images for downloading so i would say...

Review of Fujifilm XD-Picture Card 128 MB

fujifilm xd 16mb card

Advantages: easy storage and trnsfer of pictures
Disadvantages: small amount of storage

...this card came free with my digital camera, allthough you can by it as a stand alone card. its small size can make it tricky to handle and instert into cameras and card readers, but overall it performs well. i have not had any problems with data stored on the card, as you can with some types. there is quite a range of readers and adaptors availible for the xd card, and i would recomend a card reader be installed onto your pc for even simpler operation and transfer. i have found that this card quickly becomes full, taking and storing on average 14 high quality images or about 25 low quality ones. so overall, this card operates well as a beginers card, but i think you will soon out grow the storage space and i would reccomend a card of arround 128mb for any budding photographers out there....
