Sony Memory Stick is truly exciting technology. Memory Stick was first brought to my attention with the purchase of the Sony Cyber-shot digital camera. The camera came with a 8mb Memory Stick capable of holding anywhere from 5 to 118 images depending...
Pros: Small portable format that works in a variety of Sony devices Cons: Expensive, easily lost device that only works in Sony devices
Summary: Universally known as the chewing-gum-sized memory device, Sony's memory stick may ultimately die an ignoble Beta-like death, but early adopters and dead media fans everywhere should be flocking to this format.
Pros: Small
Sony marketing is giving it some traction in the marketplace Cons: Proprietary to Sony
More expensive per megabyte that CompactFlash or Smartmedia
Smaller memory capacities
Sony's marketing steamroller is effective, specially with first-time buyers of digital cameras who are often not aware of better alternatives. Smartmedia and specially Compactflash are open standards that are supported by many more manufacturers, and...
Pros: Supersmall size lets you pack plenty of them... Cons: ...if you're made of money. You can also lose them supereasy.
The 128 MB Memory Stick practically requires payment plans to afford it, unless $240 MSRP is a drop in the bucket for you. If you know anyone going to Japan, ask them to pick one up for you--you'll save about $70 by going that route. And if you're apt...
Pros: Durable, small, lightweight, and more versatile than the competition Cons: Currently limited to 64 MB max, primarily used by Sony

Pros: Small

Available from other companies Cons: VERY expensive
Only available up to 128 MB
I must admit that I do like the Sony memory stick due to the fact that it is so versatile and that I can use it in my friends VAIO, dad's video camera and my Digital Still Camera (Sony- P5- See my review). What I don't like it the massive price...
Pros: Small, other companies now produce the same product thus competitive pricing Cons: Typically Sony has 6 month lead on the market when a better version comes out
Sony is not the only producer of the memory stick. Now we have Lexmark and Sandisk competeing in the market. As a result we have seen the list price for the 128MB Sony Memory stick fall from $140 to $89.
I absolutely love how easy this is to use. I have one for my Handycam DV, and I couldn't be happier...well maybe a just a little. My only real problem is that the camcorder came with the 4mb card and can only store 6 hi-res pictures. If you are using...
