??? xD-Picture cards are used by Fujifilm and Olympus digital cameras, and are available
with a capacity as high as 2 GB. The original xD cards were available in capacities ranging

shapes, and sizes.
NOTE
Storage device types are not interchangeable. If your
camera uses CompactFlash media, then that is the
only media that will fit into the camera. Some cameras
feature slots for two memory cards, which means you
can store images on different media devices, such as
CompactFlash and Secure Digital cards.
