People share cards between cameras? I probably don't have as many cameras as Andrew but given how primitive and limited camera software typically is and how finicky data management can be, I don't swap cards between cameras unless I can do a reformat card as the first operation in the new camera.

Should be named 666_FUJI

Do Fuji cameras also gag when they see a 999_Fuji card?

If not, perhaps they could offer the industry their fix. 

Inconveniencing customers does seem silly for an industry pining for growth.
