Memory card question--Sony or SanDisk
I have a Sony Handycam and I want to buy a larger memory card. It
came with a Sony Stick Duo Adaptor. Can I use a SanDisk Memory Stick PRO Duo which costs a third of the Sony brand? What is the difference between the two? Lori |

It has a 5 year warranty. It is not the camera since I have Lexar, PNY, Dane Elec, and other SanDisk cards that work perfectly. I contacted SanDisk and they say, where does Sony/Minolta state that the SanDisk is compatible with their camera? And I say, they don't but SanDisk says that their disk is compatible with my camera on the SanDisk website compatibility chart. So, what I am saying is that apparently the SanDisk warranty is worthless. -- Pardon my spam deterrent; send email to Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA USA http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman |

Memory card question--Sony or SanDisk
So I probably would be better off to buy a Sony brand and be sure.

Memory card question--Sony or SanDisk
I have 3 Sony ditigal cameras and 2 sony camcorders that used memory
sticks for photos, I have used SanDisk Memory Sticks, both regualar and Pros and have never and I mean never had a problem. It would not suprise me that they come from the same factory as Sony. Christ, you can buy twice or more total memory for the same dollar value by not buying the inflated Sony name brand.

Which Duo, the Pro Duo or the straight Duo? Ah, I see now, sorry. In Sony Memory-Stick speak, "Duo" means the smaller form factor, "Pro" means higher capacity. "Pro" and "Duo" are orthogonal. -- --Bryan |
