xd card help

I have a Fuji finepix F20 camera and i am looking to get a memory card for it but don't know which one. I have been looking on ebay and need to order it today.

Would i be able to get a 2GB memory card as it doesn't list 2GB in the manual ?

In the manual it says

Use the following xd-picture cards:
16/MB 32/MB 64/MB 128/MB 256/MB 512/MB 1GB

There are two types of xd-picture card: standard type and type M (containing M in the model number, such as DPC-M1GB).

Finepix F20 is compatible with type M, however they may not be compatible depending on the device used (image memory card reader, etc).

I have been looking around and i am so confused, if you look at this link below they are selling a camera with a memory card some H type memory card and then they have some that are type M? Can I use type H with the F20 or what?

    The F20 is happy with H or M XD cards up to 2GB in size. I ordered 2GB from https://www.mx2.co.uk when I was buying memory for my Fuji 6500fd. They seemed very reasonable on price.

    Be aware that they may not be compatible with some older Card Readers, but will work OK with your camera.

    Personally I prefer to use 2 x 1GB cards, and just change them if they fill up, which is very rare anyway.

    Any brand will be fine, no worries.

    I use Olympus or Fuji, but any will work OK.;)
