Many thanks to evryone  who replied.

The card slot in my camera only takes the very smallest  xD card (2 x 2.5cms) (memory up to and including 2GB.)

I`d intended to buy a 1GB card from Amazon but noticed that the only seller flogging  Fuji sometimes sent out Olympus cards at Fuji prices instead .
 
Being a pensioner I hoped to send for the cheaper Olympus card myself from another seller.  I  thought someone might know if it was OK for my S205S camera first before committing my money.

 I knew from experience just how helpful Rootschatters are.
I now know how really kind too.
Thankyou so much, John.

Jay,


the card is in the post, unfortunately the note that was meant to go with it is still on my desk!!  The note just explained that you will need to format the card in your camera to ensure that it registers the images properly. Formatting is very simple - provided you can find the command as it is often buried in the depths of the menu system.

Hope you get some good images.

Hi John,

Thanks for the reminder re needing to format the card .  That`s something new to me , so I`ll Google it first.

With 1Gb of memory I`ll certainly have lots more opportunity for getting good images,  thanks to your generosity.

Jay

You're a generous person, John_w, for sending that card. Should anyone else want one cheap, they can be found for reasonable prices at www.webuy.com - I picked up a 512mb card for £5, which I thought was good.

It's a Kodak brand, but has no problems with my Fujifilm camera.
