Just bought the s6500sd (VERY pleased with that camera). Now im looking allover for a 2GB typ H card. Ive read that there is a "M/H"-card thats supposed to be as fast as the h-card, and ive even seen M-card defined as "high speed" on some sites..

I just cant figure this out.

Anyone know where i can find a 2gb h-card in europe (or rather sweden). Ive found some places but theyre all "out of stock"..
Thanx
 
M type cards are just as good, H types are newer and supposed to be faster only for movies if you shoot movies, both cards work just fine. I would only look for the newer H type if you shoot videos, otherwise the M type will work just fine.

Thanx, but ive also heard that the writing time for raw shooting goes down to about 3 seconds with the H-type..
 
Depends on the camera, for the high end s9100, they may be faster, but for the S6000 series, they are pretty much the same from everything I have seen.

XD Type H cards have been discontinued hence everywhere is running out.

I bought a 2GB from Tesco at a reduced price of £30! (UK)
 
Hi,

Check http://www.cyberphoto.se -- they seem to have Fujifilm type H 2GB cards in stock.

Not sure if that's true, but I'm planning to buy one from cyberphoto.fi after I buy my s6500fd this week (hopefully)...

Bought one from cyberphoto, works great, writing time for RAW is close to nothing, same with movies.
 
I have a s9500. H cards are seconds faster with RAW files.
I've also read in a UK photo mag M are replacing H. H are to be phased out.
Try Pic-Stop. I get all my cards from them. VAT free if you buy from Jersey.

Fuji S5000z now an S9500
 
Yes it is hard to find 2gb H type, but the speed is not “pretty much the same” with the M type, for RAW and movies, and I don’t think that they are going to be stopped…

RAW writing with just a test with my watch is approximately 2 seconds for each file.
May be less needs someone to make several shots with a good chronograph…

Immediate firmware upgrade for the HDTV dock, to be compatible with RAW&TIFF
 
There are type H card 2GB on Ebay - just do a search. Picstop have 1 GB H card.

Best Regards
 
H-types are measurably faster than M-types in my s9600.

By my watch, the write time for an 18.3 MB RAW file drops from 9 secs to 7 secs when I switch from 2 GB M-type to 2 GB H-type.

I echo the comments about PicStop.
