I regard Class 4 SDHC cards as the minimum write speed for a camera capable of recording 1080p, and as it happened, that's exactly what I had sitting around at the time.
Thanks a lot for those tips ****; are those settings in conjunction with M-size and DR400? (keeping in mind that I may not yet know what I'm talking about)!The X-S1 is a great choice. I've had mine since June and love it. To get started, I suggest using my settings.
P Mode, ISO AUTO 3200. These settings do very well in all light. If it's a bright sunny day the ISO will be 100. If it's very dark it will be 3200.

No, the X-S1's memory card write performance is pretty slow. This shouldn't be a problem with most cards unless you want to shoot long bursts, especially if you'll be shooting RAW or RAW+JPEG.

Thanks. Yes, M size FINE. DR is AUTO.Thanks a lot for those tips ****; are those settings in conjunction with M-size and DR400? (keeping in mind that I may not yet know what I'm talking about)!
ps. I really like your XS1 folio!
Well, that card should be able to you get the maximum performance that the X-S1 permits, but it's not as fast as the "90MB/s" on its label shows. B&H sells the same card (for $18 vs Amazon's $20 price), but B&H's website shows that while it's rated at 90MB's for reading, it's only rated at 45MB/s for writing. I'm sure the X-S1 can't even write at 45MB/s so that won't limit the X-S1. But B&H shows two PNY cards, High Performance and Elite Performance and the better one is the Elite Performance version. It costs slightly more, $21 for the same 32GB size card, but it's rated at 90MB/s read speed and 90MB/s write speed. The High Performance version sells for $18 but it's rated at 50MB/s(r), 30MB/s(w). The 16GB Elite Performance version has the same 90/90 speed and sells for $13, and like the Amazon cards, shipping is also free.
How did you know? Years ago I bought a small, very inexpensive "cascade RIDGE" insulated zippered nylon food storage bag (probably at K-Mart or Rite-Aid) for my Olympus C-8080 and that's still the bag that I keep it in.
Actually, I would like to find a 'cross-body' bag that can accommodate (and protect) both the X-S1 and an iPad Air (when travelling). Until I find what I'm looking for I think the X-S1 should fit into my Canon EOS (film SLR) case as they are fairly similar in size.How did you know?

For my X-S1 I used a bag that I think that Fuji only made available as part of an S100fs "accessory kit" that included an extended warranty and a CD or DVD copy of Paintshop Pro". It's a strong, very well designed leather bag that has the wider design of your Durable-Deluxe-Insulated-Cooler bag so I either store the X-S1 in it horizontally, or if I store it vertically (lens pointed up) it has room for other items, such as additional teleconverter or macro lenses on the other side.
I have a couple of those 16GB PNY Elite cards. They work very well.
