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 Lexar 512MB Memory Stick Pro, like most 512MB cards, will store on average 568 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 426 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 256 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 204 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 160 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 512MB card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

I really like my Sony camera, it takes great pictures only it requires a memory stick, which are expensive to buy especially in a larger capacity. Whereas an SD card can be purchased anywhere in larger capacities affordably. This being said, I do like this product and it works well with my camera.

Supplier waited to last minute to tell me they were relocating and unable to get product!

Just like the title says, I think this memory card is great. I have no problems with it. Put it in the camera, use the camera's format feature, works like a charm. Holds more pictures than I'll ever need. FYI I'm using it in an older Sony Cybershot.
