Question
I have a finepix 2650 digital camera. It takes a xD picture card. Maximum 2.0 mega pixels. Fujifilm. I got a new xD card that is M512mb, so it can hold more then 1000 pictures if its on a low pixel. I took about 700 pictures, but while i was taking them the pixel's would change sometimes. OK here's the problem. I can't get about 100 of my pictures on the computer or the picture machines at stores, but i know they are there because when i look at them on the camera in the small view when you can see 9 at once i can see them. If you or you know anyone that can help me please help. Thank You!

Answer
Liz,

Your images are probably corrupted.  All you are seeing on the camera is a thumbnail. You'll need to take the card to a photo lab or camera store that offers a file recovery service.  Also, I think you have the wrong card for your camera.  The M series XD cards only came out in 2005 and will not work properly on most older cameras and you camera is almost a 4 year old model.
