The Sony 8 GB Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX w/USB Adaptor (whew)...once you get past the naming conventions of Sony, it's a great product. It writes somewhat faster which is good, but the transfer/download rate from the included USB adaptor is where it truly shines. If you have waited an interminable time for ordinary Memory Sticks to download photos, etc., you already know what I mean. I've only used it a short time, but wish I had also purchased the 16gb variety as well. Time is important...and simply waiting for stuph to happen, isn't what you want or need to do.

In addition, having the included USB adaptor is fantastic. I also use it to store another 8 GB memory stick when not in use. You no longer have to have (or worry about) a plethora of other adaptors. Stick with this!

I use it for both HD video as well as still photos.

I recommend the Sony 8 GB Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX w/USB Adaptor without reservation. To Sony, however, make naming these memory sticks something that ordinary people can remember and deal with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pricey but necessary for burst, some handhelds, and new video, May 17, 2009

The new HG version of the Memory Stick Duo Pros has a faster read and write time and it shows on things like Burst mode for photos on some of the newer Sony cameras, in gaming with the handhelds, and in the newer video format for the cameras. Yes, it is pricey. However, when you need the higher read and write speed this card does the trick where no other will.

I just received my Sony 8GB Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo and have been using it for pictures and video. Works fantastic, and just like Sony says... it is faster. Noticeably faster! Writes the videos that I'm taking in 720p super fast. It is a bit pricey compared to NON HG sticks, but for large file pictures and HD video... this is a keeper and a recommended item from me! I'd do it again for sure!
