If you let the camera write the file to the card, rather than a card reader, than there will never be a conflict of file systems. The camera can only write in one type of system and it will do just that. Of course, the card should be formatted in that file system.
This is the only thing that can go wrong with card readers: you might introduce a different file system on the card and thus "loose" the files from a camera point of view.
I used to copy tiffs and such for printing onto the card. (This would safe me the cost of a CD
)....However, reading from a CD is faster than from a xD card, so I switched to multi-session CD's.................back to the topic: My F601z did not have problems displaying jpegs copied back onto the smartmedia card. It was of course noticable that larger JPEG files took longer to generate a preview and such. I suspect my S5500 works in a similar matter.
With respect to the F30: I recall they changed the way the camera communicates with the PC? Or was this fixed with the firmware update? (It wasn't seen as a simple external disk anymore, like the other Fuji cameras?) Perhaps they crippled more functionality in favour of other code....
