anybody tried the 1 gig cards yet, I've read that they can suffer from
jumping when used in movie mode on some cameras. Any info on this from
present users greatly appreciated.

I personally don't think it's a good idea to buy the 1 gig card.
As we all know, they can corrupt or break, leaving you with a big loss.
Far better to go for 2 x 512 mb cards...

Actually XD cards are also used in Fuji.
When Smartmedia cards became obsolete, its inventor, Toshiba, wisely went
with SD cards. Unfortunately Olympus and Fuji decided to come up with
something else. It wasn't even well thought out in that many of these
cameras cannot use the new 1GB cards now coming out.

I own two Olympus cameras that use smartmedia, and I love them. My next
camera will not be Olympus.

the reason for a 1 gig card is for video recording purposes, you can get 20
mins of recording at 640 x 480 on my fuji e550
Superb camera by the way

Or for not having to carry and switch a bunch of cards on vacation.
Plus, with cams up to 7mp now, mem goes REALLY fast.
