Im using 8gb SDHC card (scandisc) camera keeps reporting read error or write error. won't download photos, locks up etc, etc. lost many holiday photos. It is only 6 weeks old.... should Ijust use 2 mb SD - ie non HC cards or XD????
If all other cards work fine then you may have a faulty memory card.
Your camera should theoretically be able to handle an 8GB SDHC card (but only up to 2GB xD card) as it is an SDHC compatible camera, but I've encountered more than a few cameras in the past which were SDHC compliant but could only handle up to 4GB.
Most of these had firmware updates to enable up to 16GB SDHC but the Fuji S1000fd has no firmware update.
If you find that the SDHC card is fine after all then I'd suggest contacting Fuji for a definite say so as to whether they know of any issues with 8GB SDHC compatibility.

Do owners find that they have great clear shots with the appropriate setting? Are there megapixels and zoom capacity? Is the camera suitable for taking rapid shots of little children. Are there negatives about the camera to be aware of? Would appreciate some feed back from owners, please
