Title: Fuji XD Memory Card
Post by: GillE on June 13, 2019, 19:43: Does anyone know where I can get a Fuji XD memory card at a reasonable price (ie much less than £20!) ? It's for my old Fuji Finepix camera which boasts 3.2 mega pixels! :laugh:

Olympus XD memory cards are not compatible.

I think I might keep the A330 in my bicycle paniers, just in case a decent piccie presents itself when I'm out riding.

BTW, I found an old 128mb XD card at the back of a drawer, which is handy :) .

I was thinking more of the storage price Gill. High speed high capacity SD cards are very cheap these days. 128 Mb is not a lot by todays standards even with a relatively low res camera. As you say if you use it for a few ad hoc pics great, I just think you'll get shafted trying to upgrade the storage (as per your original question) on a legacy camera.
I've binned off several very good cameras for the same reason..lack of capacity.

Post by: Simon on June 14, 2019, 23:51: I wondered if 128Mb was a misprint, considering 128Gb cards are now quite cheaply available.

Okay, so it's only a JPEG as opposed to a RAW file, and it only has automatic settings, but for a ten-year-old 3.2 MP camera it still makes me happy.

By the way, the dog nested in the flower pot of his own volition. I was trying to dry some chillies and I suppose the chihuahua's Mexican urges took over.

He has three interests in life, all beginning with the letter ‘F’: feeding, fighting and fornicating. Randy little sod.
