Functions as well as the Sony Memory Sticks but at a fraction of the cost. With my Sony F707, I capture ~50+ 5-megapixel pictures with this stick. I would highly recommend this item.

The Sandisk Memory Stick Memory Card is a Japanese-made product that is comperable in performance to similar Memory Stick products. For those of you who are new to this kind of data storage technology, "Memory Stick" products allow fast, read-write capability similar in performance to a hard drive-- in a device that is the size of a stick of gum! Not only with the Sandisk allow you to store photo images, but it can also serve to back-up, and transport files from one computer to another. Thanks to the Sandisk, my Sony Cybershot digital camera now serves me as a credible USB back-up drive for jpgs AND files of any kind. Memory Sticks will undoubtedly have an emormous impact on the computer and home electronics industry. Five minutes of working with the Sandisk, and you will realize that "removable disc media" and other magnetic/mechanical approaches to data-storage will soon be as obsolete as the dodo. 128 megs of removable RAM memory for under [$$]?-- welcome to the 21st Century! Give the Sandisk a try-- you'll be amazed!- LMS

This product is the EXACT same as the Sony version, which retails for $25 more... works just as well, for less money. Amazon has the best price around, too! Can't beat that.

Just for reference, on the casing is reported that it isn't compatible with following Sony products:

DSR-PD100, DSR-PD100A, DCR-TRV900, DCR-TRV10, DCR-PC3, DCR-PC100, MSAC-PC1.

Hi, this memory stick gave me no problems so far, but if I had to get picky, there is a noticable delay when writing the pictures to the memory stick. I used this stick on a Sony DSC P8. After taking a picture, the LCD screen would turn black for about 3-4 seconds, and it is probably writing to the memory stick during that time. I did not have this problem with the included Sony memory stick or the 256 Sony brand memory stick I bought. Reliable, but if you find this delay annoying, buy Sony.

I used this stick in a sony DSCP 5 and it never failed.

Because of its attractive price, I bought the Sandisk stick for use in my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F707 camera. It has been working as well as could be desired and is, in every way, equivalent to the Sony version.

The power supply and connection cables for the DSC-F707 are absurdly stiff and clumsy, so I also bought a Lexar Memory Stick Reader, which both inexpensive and convenient to use. I mention this because the reader makes it easy to transer spreadsheet and word processor files, as well as pictures, both ways, between hard drives and the memory stick. Since the reader can be moved quickly from one computer to another, this capability makes transferring large files from one computer to another really easy.

I was shopping for a 2 megapixel camera, and was about to write off the Sony Cybershot DSC-P31 because it uses higher-priced Memory Stick memory when compared to CF and SM. Then I searched Amazon.com and found this for even less than 128Mb CF cards (after instant and mail-in rebates). Shipping from Amazon.com was extremely fast, as usual.
The Sandisk card works on the P31 with no problems and supports all the camera's extra features such as picture rotation and recorded shot details (aperture, shutter speed, etc.). It also works with my Samsung digital camcorder's still photo feature and Sony Clié PEG-T615C PDA.
Now I just need to buy a USB-Memory Stick reader/writer so I can save myself the trouble of dealing with USB cables to download pictures from the cameras.

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 SanDisk 128MB Memory Stick, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 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.

I purchased it 2 or 3 months ago in Amazon. At that time, it was in promotion and I got very good deal of a brand new one around $... after Mail-in rebate. It works totally the same as SONY memory stick. Why not use ScanDisk if you could get a good deal?
