Summary: How many pictures will it store?
Review: How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Sony MSA64A 64MB Memory Stick Media, like most 64MB cards, will store on average 71 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 53 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 32 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 25 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 20 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Summary: Worth the Money.
Review: I picked up a 64MB stick for use in my DSC-S85 camera and it really makes a difference! I can take a ton more pictures before having to change sticks now. I love how simple these sticks are to both store and handle. You can swap them in/out of your camera in a second....and you can use them interchangeably in various Sony products! So if you have a Sony MP3 player and or a Sony digital camera or Sony Clie, you can use the same memory type in all of them. It still amazes me how much these tiny sticks can hold. If you get more than one of these babies I suggest you pick up some type of holder to keep them in as they are small and easy to misplace. These are without a doubt the easiest type of memory to use and you should drop a couple of bucks on getting at least a 64MB stick if you're taking quality pics.

Summary: Great Photos on the Sony Memory Stick
Review: I use the 64 MB Sony Memory Stick in my Sony digital camera and what storage I have! Over 100 pictures, along with a few 60 second videos, as well, I have stored on a 64 MB stick. And so versatile, to change a disk is a snap. So I can keep hundreds of pictures and video clips on a few disks, right with the camera.

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 handycams 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 64+ 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.

Summary: No problems, no complaints
Review: My dad bought this over two years ago to go with his new digital camera and this stick has served us well! It has gone on trips to Disneyworld, to see grandparents, nieces and other family, as well as several other short trips (and I used it in my own mini photo shoot, too). What can I say? We've never had any problems with it, it's always been ready when we needed it. There's lots of space on it, enough for hundreds of small-resolution pictures, and a lot of large-resolution pictures, too. I just can't complain!

Summary: Great Product
Review: This memory Stick is extremelly usefull for me and my family. We have several Sony products(I call ourselves "Sony Freaks"); I can use the same Memory Stick is some of them, like my digital camera or PDA. It is amazing how much data you can record in the MS, and how easy it is to delete in case you need to. I haven't had a problem so far, and honestly none of my friends had either.
I recommend this product!!

Summary: Buy it somewhere beside Amazon
Review: This product is back ordered and is not even handled by Amazon. They turn the order over to Office Tech, supposely, a part of Office Depot. Amazon doesn't tell you that they take the cash from your credit card while Office Tech keeps telling you the order is coming sometime in the future. They say you can cancel your order but try to do it. The cancel button doesn't work and when you send an e-mail to cancel, the reply is your order will be ship sometime in the future. Then they tell you, you can return the order for a full refund.

Summary: Awesome media
Review: What can you say? I picked Sony over the other cameras because of this diverse memory product. You can use it in a wide array of Sony products without having to buy memory all over again...and it's fast! Sure it's a bit more than the other flash cards (although that is finally changing...woo-hoo), but I use the same 64 MB module in my S75, my mp3 player, and my friend's camcorder.

The only drawback is that this memory stick doesn't support the MagicGate technology, which is employed for commercial mp3 productions. But since this is still a fighting standard, it's not a big mark against it yet.

Summary: Pretty amazing!
Review: Whatever you use it in (Sony digital cameras/camcorders, CLIE, etc.) it will serve you well. It will fit whatever you throw at it though getting a fast USB reader or a floppy adapter would make sense when it's time to download info to your computer. I personally use it for taking and storing photographs (JPEGs) but technically, you could use it for any kind of file format for moving those files between computers, for example. The floppy reader (3x faster than parallel connection...) is my favorite and turns the memory stick into the giant floppy. It's amazing how tiny the stick is and I heard the 128MB is in the works and coming out soon... Is that why the price is so low lately?
