Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Even if you're taking advantage of the xD card's smaller size, chances are you're still using your older SmartMedia card as well. Now you can get lightening-fast image transfers from both media using a single card reader. With the Fujifilm dual-slot USB card reader for xD picture and SmartMedia cards, you'll no longer have to change card readers for each media type--this unit is perfect for multiple-camera, multimedia households.

Product Description

The new xD-Picture Card is the smallest storage format of its kind on the market - comparable in size to a penny, measuring just 0.79" x 0.98" x 0.07" and weighing less than one-tenth of an ounce - with the potential for up to 8GB storage capacity in a single card. .In addition, the xD-Picture Card was designed with fast read/write capabilities for smooth digital camera operations. A 16 or 32MB card can record data at 1.3MB/second. A 64MB card or higher can record data at 3MB/second and both offer a read speed of 5MB/second. The card was also designed to minimize power consumption, saving battery life. Now that you have a camera employing the most compact and fastest removeable memory format - you'll want this convenient card reader connected via Plug-and-Play USB to your Windows or Macintosh computer. Using a card reader eliminates drain on your camera's battery, and if you have a second xD-Picture Card you can even continue capturing images while you downloading!

1.0 out of 5 stars XP - doesn't work, February 24, 2004

By 

jeffrey - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fujifilm USB xD Picture Card Reader (Personal Computers)

I tried and tried. Despite the lable on the packaging, it is not XP compatible and, after you buy it, XP tells you so - the fujifilm packaging says it is XP compatible, but the fujifilm website (which is devoid of any updates) says:

Operating Systems: Windows 98/98SE

Waste of money and, worse, waste of time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't use if you have Windows XP, February 10, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Fujifilm USB xD Picture Card Reader (Personal Computers)

This reader worked correctly for a while - then the menu failed to come up when a card is placed in the reader. After uninstalling, and trying to re-install, I am getting warnings that it is not compatable with windows XP, and though I tried to ignore the warnings, the drivers are not available. I have not been able to find the drivers anywhere on the fugi support site. A waste of money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trash driver, May 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Fujifilm USB xD Picture Card Reader (Personal Computers)

The xD card reader has the worst instructions I have ever encountered in 20 years of computer work. Those same instructions tell you to disregard the Windows XP warning that installation might damage your operating system. I proceeded as instructed and it did indeed cause Windows XP to crash. After removing the driver and associated software, the system seems to have recovered, but I am now left with a useless card reader. Fujifilm customer service never answered my email in which I asked if there were new drivers. I highly recommend you avoid this card reader.
