As does mine and I have never purchased an XD due to the general concensus being they are no good. I have 2 CF instead which means carrying the extra card in my bag but does mean I have a decent back up.

This would be great if everyone used the same format but alas. I went from a Sony P100 using Memory Sticks to my E510 using CF or XD. My camera phone uses Micro SD, my girlfriends phone uses MS duo and her Casio P&S uses SDHC. Arhhh redundant memory galore, which is very annoying when my 512mb Memory stick was over £100 ($200) when I bought it back in the day.
