Well if you really want just a Fuji, go with the A210.
I would also recommend looking at the Olympus Stylus 300/400. Those cameras take xD memory as well, and are much better IMO.

If you end up with something different, you can probably do some trading with the flash memory you have for other flash memory in the FS/FT forum.
The CanonSD-100w/ 128 card from Office Max is a really nice deal right now. Even if the deal is dead, it will be back soon.
Canon sd-100 deal
Actually, I think they developed it together (along with Toshiba who manufactures the cards but does not use them in their cameras) as a replacement for SmartMedia.Originally posted by: Kenny
Fuji originally introduced the xD media, but Olympus also uses it.

Olympus c5000z looks like a pretty good camera in that range. It's 5.0 MP, decent picture quality, some nice manual features as well. It looks like a toy though. It got a pretty decent review at DCRP.

i looked at the fuji s5000 or whatever. it looks bulky though, the 10x optical zoom is a nice feature. the A210 or whatever has more megapixels though, at 3.34.
should i focus on megapixels, if so, that olympus with 5.0 megapixels would be awesome i guess.

Definitely don't just focus on megapixels. Read the reviews at various camera sites to get a better idea of features and image quality.
If you don't like the size of the S5000, check out Fuji's "A" line as Ross has mentioned.
Another option: the Olympus D-560. 3MP, 3x zoom and a nice big LCD. It's last year's model so you can get it at Newegg for a VERY low $188 plus there is a $20 rebate so it's only $168 (and free shipping, too). That's a really good price.

big lcd's generally go hand in hand with draining batteries. truth be told, first choice are those tiny canons. are there any tiny cameras that use XD that is under 300? now that would be perfect...
