Customer Reviews:

Works great [Posted on 2008-03-20]
This is a Type H card - I just recieved it (3-20-2008 - FujiFilm branded as shown on Amazon). It works great (put in my camera, formatted and it works just fine). Something to note, the manufacturers have moved to making/selling the Type M card (dropping Type H), however the Type H is much faster (read/write speeds). Its probably cheaper to produce the Type M...as no explanation of why the change took place was ever given. So if you want the fastest Xd card you can get, get this Type H card, while they're still around (you'll notice you can't get Olympus 1GB Type H's anymore...and who knows how long these Fuji's will be around).

As a memory type, the Xd card format is a slower card, if you have a camera that takes another kind of memory card in addition to the Xd (like an Olympus DSLR that takes CF too) you can bet the other card type will be faster at saving and transferring those pics you just took. However most of us are stuck with Xd and only Xd for our particular camera, and in that case this Type H is the way to go while you can still get them.

Nice, but wears the batteries out quicker [Posted on 2008-04-04]
CAPACITY: It's nice to not have to swap cards out as often on our (now-way-out-dated 2 y.o. 5mp) camera. It does hold a lot of pictures, even at the finest settings.

POWER HOG: But it seems to make the camera work harder ... thus wearing the batteries out sooner. (Gotta switch to rechargables.)

ISSUES: Also, oddly enough, when we started using this card, the camera now freezes up occasionally. Either as it's sending the lens out, thus unable to focus until the camera is turned off and back on again (if you can), or it just plain freezes all processes. It takes a minute before we can power it off, sometimes only by dis-/reconnecting the batteries.

Somewhat disappointed [Posted on 2008-04-12]
I bought this 1G card thinking I could take short videos with my digital camera, got the H version thinking it would store the video faster than the current M versions that I have. The few videos that I have tried to get with this H card have not turned out well at all, I can't get the sound and the video to synch, the sound is lagging behind the video, which it doesn't do with the 512Mb M card that I have.

Product listed as Sandisk, received Fujifilm [Posted on 2008-07-16]
OK, most people probably don't care what brand of card they get, but I do. As of this writing this product is listed as a Sandisk card, which is what I wanted, but I received a Fujifilm card. I complained to Digital Media Source. I'll update this review when I get a response from them.
