4.0 out of 5 stars Better than 4 MB, but don't trust a vacation to this one, November 19, 2000

This review is from: Sony 16 MB Memory Stick Media (MSA16A) (Personal Computers)

If you shoot low res pix only (640x480), you'll get about 100 pix out of this memory stick, which isn't a bad amount of pix, but it also means you are shooting low resolution. If you're only taking pix for the web, that's great, and this memory stick will get you pretty far. But, if you are hoping to print your images out, you'll want to shoot higher resolution, which means the 16MB memory stick isn't quite big enough if you're hoping to go out on a trip (unless you buy a few of them). I recommend at least a 32MB memory stick.

As with all Sony products, this is, of course, well made and solid, and works like a charm. Just make sure you know how much memory you need, and then buy more, always.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of pics..., June 12, 2000

This is a great way to get more use out of your digital camera. I took over a hundred pics on just this one card. Try doing that w/ film or a 4mb card.

5.0 out of 5 stars Need for speed!, September 17, 2000

This stick is great! Yesterday I took about 40 pics and 30 small videoclips with my Cybershot! And it wasn't even full! Try doing THAT with the 4MB card! No really, it's a must-have! The 4MB just isn't large enough, it's actually about the same size as a ordinary roll of film, that is, enough room for about 30-40 pics at 640x480, wich isn't all that much. BUY!
