If it uses Smart Media, it will only take Smart Media; no other type will work.

Don't bother with ebay for memory cards.
- It is impossible to find someone based in the UK rather than someone who ships from the other side of the world.
-Their shipping costs hide the true cost of the item.
-You may get stung for duty and VAT.

How about a Fuji 64MB SmartMedia Card £8.14 inc VAT and free P&P from Ebuyer

or a Fuji 128MB SmartMedia Card for £15.27 inc VAT and free P&P from Ebuyer

i dont really know if my camera only can use smart media, its a FinePix 2400 zoom.
if that helps, ;-) so would other memory cards be just as good?, or can i only use Fuji?,

oh and i see what you meen about ebay, ive been thinking of buying a memory card on there, but ill take your advice insted.

It can only use SmartMedia cards, and apparently it cannot use any larger than 64MB.

It should work with any brand, but I would probably just buy the Fuji 64MB SmartMedia at ebuyer I listed earlier as it definitely matches the specs.

Oh and if you use ebuyer you need to select their super saving shipping, otherwise they charge you for the standard service.

Hi kind-veggie-girl, have you managed to buy a memory card yet? I may be able to help so if you are interested then reply/send me a PM... I have the items on ebay but will sell it to you cheaper if you like?

If you are interested then let me know, if not I will understand...I can let you know my ebay ID just so you can see I'm telling the truth & have 100% feedback etc, I would put it on here don't want to be seen as advertising an ebay product, and am just trying to help you out??!!

If you are interested then I can send you a brand new Olympus 128mb card (i use them in my Fuiji Fujipix camera and they work fine) for £15 incl postage...

Regards

You might want to try https://www.7dayshop.com. I've used them quite a few times without any problems. Very competetive partly due to their location in the Channel Islands.

But hopeless if you are buying single small items due their £2.95 P&P charge, which wipes out the cost savings.

For small stuff I have found ebuyer appears slightly more expensive until you realise that the P&P is free.
