digital camera and memory cards

jimsmum

Hi guys,
just bought the Fuji F480 digital camera from boots.
I also bought a 1gb fuji memory card from asda for £9.99.
The thing is this camera had movie mode on it, and what i want to know is :
whats the difference between a SD memory card and a XD memory card.
the one i bought is a SD,will i be able to take movies on this camera with that memory card in it.
thanks

Yes you will.

I thought that Fuji cameras took xd cards - at least my old fuji camera did, and so does my olympus. Different brands take different types of cards.

SD Memory Card is not compatible, you need an XD card. Basically XD is Fujifilm's card format, and is pretty much exclusively compatible with Fuji. Best bet is to take the card back and swap it for xD.

Some of them take other cards as well - the F480 also takes SD, the S9600 also takes CompactFlash. You need to check compatibility of xD type M and H with some older cameras.

The obvious answer would be to try it out.

I am sure it would though

Surely it cant take both types? Correction- yes it does-never known this! Movie are not dependent on the type of card, but use a lot of memory, just depends on how long you want to take movies.
still cameras are pretty useless at movies-thats why people buy camcorders.

it says in the description:
Memory Card TypeSD Card, SDHC Card, xD Card (up to 2 GB)Types compatible

Yes the movie mode will work with either type of card although the SDHC (high capacity) cards will allow a longer recording time.
