Bought this card from another web site but it is the exact same card. Have a card reader I got from [...]. Put card in, reads it just fine. Not a single problem with card on any level. I agree with previous comments made to purchaser who gave it 1 star. It sounds like you may have an eqpt. issue and read your camera's instruction book and understand how camera operates.

In many cases, there have been such great advancements made in card technology that I go to the camera's web site routinely to see what new products my camera will and will not accept and how that changes the operations of the camera etc.

Also I think I would have used a little common sense and taken some test photos first, put the card in the reader and made sure everything worked the way it was supposed to BEFORE I took the camera and a new card to a major family event and took hundreds of pictures....

Although these are theoretically not as fast as the "Type H" cards released a few years ago, I can't find much of a practical difference. The fact that they are definitely faster than "Type M" cards at almost the same price make them an excellent value.

All folks here complaining the card does not work with their camera should first check compatibility of their model on the manufacturer's website. I have links to both Fuji & Olympus compatibility lists on my blog (which can be reached via my profile page)

In my case it works fine with my Fuji s6000fd, Fuji f40fd (same as f45fd) and Fuji S3 Pro cameras.

Depending on your shipping options the 2GB version may be turn out to be an even better deal for you:
2GB M+ xd Card
Another 2GB M+ xd Card
2-pack 2GB M+ xd Card

If in fact you determine your device is not compatible with the "Type M+" cards then you should go with the older "Type M" cards also available in 1GB and 2GB capacities:
Sandisk 2GB xD Card
SanDisk 1GB xD Card

This was my first purchase from Amazon. The card showed up just as explained, on time. I took several hundred pictures on a trip to NYC which included my step-daughters wedding. I have 3 other smaller cards but decided I should get one larger. I've been using a "card reader" for years with these cards and ever had a problem. So - I get home and pop the new card in the reader & I'm told it needs to be "formatted". I'm also told if you format a card it will erase everything on it! So - I used it once. I have to take pictures off ALL my cards directly from the camera to the computer as my card reader no longer works. Would I buy it again? What do you think? NO!
