Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fujifilm 128 MB XD Picture Card

Customer Review: Works as promised, but what about the future?
Summary: 4 Stars

The card itself is extremely small - as the manufacturer claims, about the size of a penny. So far it behaves precisely as promised in the camera and when I'm downloading pictures to the computer.

I have to warn you about some of the negatives of this new xD card in general, not just the 128 MB version. As you might know, CompactFlash, SecureDigital, and SmartMedia are much better established memory cards. They are physically larger in size, that's true, but the number of appliances accepting CF, SD and SM is huge - digital cameras, cell phones, PDA's, you can even use it for memory in your computer! Furthermore, CF, SD and SM cards are significanly cheaper. Will xD ever catch on? Will it ever drop in price to the levels of the other three? Will it ever be used as widely as CF, SD and SM? Will xD ever make high capacity cards, like the 1 GB SanDisk you can currently purchase? It is true that xD cards have the potential to store up to 8 GB (more than the others), but when will these cards be made, and will they be cheap enough to be useful?

The bottom line, it seems, is the following. On the plus side, xD is small and is used in some very enticing digital cameras. On the minus side, the three firmly established memory cards (CompactFlash, SecureDigital, and SmartMedia) are cheaper and more widely used. Until the xD card gains in popularity and is used in more applications, I would be careful about buying a camera which uses xD and about buying further xD accessories, such as this 128 MB xD card.
