1 How many pictures will it store?
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.
2 The best all purpose stick
I've got three of these and they work just as well as Sony's. I take pictures with my Sony on them but I use them instead of floppy disks. I put it in my reader at work, home, and at my mother's, and download programs from the internet directly to them, transfers files to them and use them the same way as floppys are use. I haven't used the floppy on any of the computers for the past year. Small as a stick of gum, can be packed in a wallet. Best item invented!
3 Nice product
I bought this product for use in my Sony Clie handheld computer. I was looking for a cheaper alternative to the Sony brand memory stick, and I am glad to say that this product has worked flawlessly over the past year.
I would buy a Sandisk product again.
4 Question
Can someone please tell me the difference between Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro?
5 Two star because....
I haven't used it yet!!! The plastic packaging is ridiculous, wasteful and HAZARDOUS as I just managed to cut myself trying to open it. Seriously, what a waste of resources. I can't imagine the energy and waste used just for the packaging. Why go through the effort of marketing and sitting around a conference room discussing how cool it would be to package a MEMORY STICK with razor sharp plastic with a neat colorful cardboard backround just so it can be thrown away to forever stay on the face of this earth to injure another person!!!? ah!! For a MEMORY STICK? Gimme a break!!
6 Reliable, yet slower than Sony Memory stick
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.
7 just the Best
Actually the it is the best of the best
8 Works well, lots of room, no problems!
I bought this for my Sony Clie PEG-S360, and it interfaces well. I've had no problems with it so far. Be careful, though, as Sony plans to change the Memory Stick standard and break compatibility in the future.
9 ScanDisk 128 Menory stick foe Sony
Very good memory priced right. Good product
10 More info needed
There are some many memory cards in the market, that I think the list of the camera brands and models should be available with the product description so it will be easier to find the more convenient for the one we are looking for, or when asking for products all of the choices for a specific brand of cameras will be presented in the results.

11 Good price in promotion
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?
12 SanDisk 128MB Memory Stick
I purchased this product as a generic alternative to the more expensive Sony original. The two memory sticks are so similar that they may as well have been from the same manufacturer - I can detect absolutely no difference in performance between the two.
The Sony memory stick format is useful but somewhat overpriced, so it is a real pleasure to find such a reasonable alternative. Strongly recommended
13 Why bother with SONY branded?
Works! What more is it supposed to do! :)
14 Great Card!
I recently purchased 3 of these cards for my Sony digital camera (DSC P30), and they work great. Access speed seems to be even faster than the Sony cards. I rarely purchase multiple quantities of something without first trying one, but I was in a hurry this time so took a chance. I came out fine.
Comes with:
-1 small soft plastic (or vinyl?) disk storage case
-3 disk labels
-Instructions in multiple languages
Specifications (included with packaging):
-Memory type: flash
-Operating voltage: 2.7v to 3.6 v
-Power Consumption: Average-approx 45 mA, Standby-approx 130 uA
-Access speed: Write-Max 1.5 MBytes/sec, Read-Max 2.45 MBytes/sec
Per packaging, this product is not compatible with:
-MagicGate
-Sony models: DSR-PD100, DSR-PD100A, DCR-TRV900, DCR-TRV10, DCR-PC3, DCR-PC100, MSAC-PC1
Score: I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because of the price. Although the price is good from a comparative standpoint, I still think memory cards are overpriced. Digital media is more convenient than film, but also considerably more expensive. If you're new to digital photography and money is a concern, definitely think twice.
Bottom Line: I consider this a great product and a reasonable value.
15 Works fine in my CliŽ T665C
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.
16 Works, though could be cheaper
Works great. The only reason why I give 4 stars is the price
- first, sho around - it varies a lot, second compactflash
for my Nikon camera is much cheaper.
17 Works as good as Sony
I bought Sandisk 128mb memory stick from Amazon.com recently and paid ony [$$]...It works just like Sony and I find no difference between the two. Sony memory stick sells in the market for $89. I have Sony DSC-P31 digital Camera and had no problem at all using Sandisk memory stick.
18 Sandisk 128MB Memory Stick
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.

19 Camera, yes - Camcorder, no
It works in my Sony DSC-S85 camera, but not in my Sony camcorder. It gives a format error. I'm not sure why the difference because it works fine in the camera. If I would have known that it would work only in the camera, I would have purchased the Sony Stick.
20 Great pre-Christmas deal!
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 CliŽ 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.
21 works fine
Media works fine with Sony Clie handhelds, and costs less than media from other manufacturers.
22 great subsitute for sony memory stick
Great subsitute for sony memory stick. cost less, same quality
23 Super deal!!
Works well with Sony DSC P51.. Great buy!!
24 Best price around, same as Sony
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.
25 excellent choice
My choices for memory cards were Sandisk, Lexar, and Sony. First, I went with the Sandisk because of its lower price vs Sony. (why pay more for something when you don't have to) In my opinion, they are equivalent and equal choices. The second reason I chose the Sandisk is because they are actually partnering in some memory device areas with Sony and they are the largest designer/producer of removable flash based digital media.
26 valuepricing
I used this stick in a sony DSCP 5 and it never failed.
27 Future Shock
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
28 Inexpensive alternative...
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.
