Summary: ยค
Review: I don't know how you review memory sticks, but with the 128mb you get a couple thousand pics(600x400) on a stick.I suggest the 64mb. All depends on your individual needs i guess. But overall, it is a Sony and they work well(like always in my experiences).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good product but high price
Review: I got this 128 MB Memory Stick because the one that came with my Sony Cybershot it's only 16Mb (only 9 pics) and this makes me believe that they intentionally give you a small chip so you buy another of their pruducts. My suggestion is to purchase a Lexar or another brand, because works as well and the price is lot cheaper, Any way I got this one and works perfectly, It's only the price why I rated only with 4 stars

Summary: I like it
Review: I have one of these. I will be buying the two-sided ones because they have more memory, but if you are planning a short trip and don't want to take the chance on losing all of your photos, this is nice. It holds a bunch of pictures, and works faster than the ones from other companies. A great memory stick.

Summary: 131 High res photos
Review: I purchased the 128MB stick just before leaving for my family vacation to Mexico. I have a Sony DSC-70 digital camera... I shot every thing at a minimum of 1600x1200 resolution (suitable for 8x10 prints). As the title says, I shot 131 photos - never messing w/ film. I shot an additional 48 on my 64MB stick.
Flawless performance.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: a commodity
Review: I think it's well worth buying a 64MB or, even better, this 128MB memory stick with a new Sony camera (that's what I did) but I don't see any reason to pay the premium in price between the Sony version and those made by competitors like Lexar, ScanDisk and others.

Sony will tell you that part of the speed of the camera depends on the way the in-camera computer can access the memory card, but I have read articles that say that is just a tiny piece of the equation. And from experience, I can say that I see no difference in quality between my Sony card and the one from Lexar.

In the end, I give this card only three stars for reasons not related to quality but to price. These memory sticks have become simple commodities, like rice or cement, and the deciding factor in any comparison shopping should be price. I would (and do) pay extra for Sony quality when it comes to digital cameras and other high-tech equipment, but I don't see a reason for it when it comes to memory sticks.

Summary: Slower than then 64MB one
Review: I use the Sony Camcorder DCR-PC100 to take photos. When I use the 64MB memory stick, it is quick. When I use the 128MB stick, it feels like it is half the speed... that is not good especially if I take continuous snapshots... Sony should tell consumers these kind of things. Also, the Camcorder Spec says it is good for 1 MegaPixel photos. It is a lie. The image quality is like magnifying a 640 x 480 to 1 Megapixel. The result is coarse pixelation of the photo... I called the Sony customer support and they told me, "if it looks good on the view finder, then Sony's job is done." What BS. Sony, wake up and don't tell lies!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Peeved at first, but delighted with consistent performance
Review: I was first peeved about having to be stuck with a predetermined Sony memory stick format. But after continued use in TRV900, TRV11 video cams and the Sony Clie PDA- I have to say I'm very happy with the memory stick's flexibility. I usually hate being stuck in a specific company format, but at least Sony did it right.

The transfer rate in the Clie is very rapid. Backing up the entire contents of the Clie takes literally a few seconds. The Clie has a program that allows you RUN programs off of the memory stick. This is not the fastest operating speed, but it is no worse than a Zip drive disk.

The size and reliability is unbeatable. Compared to a San memory card that has lost it's life after 1 year, the Sony memory sticks have performed flawlessly for pics, data, and application runs. Go for the 32+ MB and up - just like a hard drive, you think a realistic amount is adequate. But once you start shooting and using, you'll wish you upgraded for the bigger stick.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Awesome product. Crazy Price
Review: I'd reccommend buying Lexar or SanDisk purely for that fact it's about almost half the cost of a Sony.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must if you own a Cybershot
Review: If you own a Sony Cybershot you need to get this product. I own two of them for my DSC-P92. For the price difference between the 64 Mb and the 128 Mb you should definitively get the 128 Mb. If you only use the memory stick for pictures this is the model that you need (you do not need the Magic Gate). This module will work with all Sony products with a Memory Stick slot, including the new devices with Memory Stick Pro. Transfer rates from this Memory Stick are good and the reliability is excellent. I have never experience data loss or any transfer problem using this product. Sony has been the major developer for the Memory Stick, so if you are in the market for one, and you can afford the extra $10 or $20 you should get the Sony product.
