Questions regarding Sony Cybershot DSC-P73 and Sony memory sticks
Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a Sony Cybershot DSC-P73, which seems ideally suited to my purposes, e.g. nice quality photos at a decent price. However I've only ever owned digital cameras which takes SD cards and the like, and Sony products all seem to take memory sticks. Essentially I have two questions regarding memory sticks: 1) - Does this camera only take memory sticks, e.g. will it not take SD cards? 2) - Will a 'Sony MSH128.CE 128Mb Memory Stick "High Grade" with MagicGate' do the job with this camera? I'm sorry for the rather simple nature of the questions, but I can't seem to find what I'm after on Google or Google Groups. Thanks in advance for any help. |

Essentially I have two questions regarding memory sticks: 1) - Does this camera only take memory sticks, e.g. will it not take SD cards? It supports Memory Sticks only (my dscp72 does anyway and I don't think there has been any change with later models). 2) - Will a 'Sony MSH128.CE 128Mb Memory Stick "High Grade" with MagicGate' do the job with this camera? AFAIK any Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro (including the Magic Gate one you mention) will work: I have: Sony Memory Stick 16MB Sony Memory Stick "MagicGate" 64 MB SanDisk Memory Stick Pro "MagicGate" 256MB I find the 256MB one a reasonably ideal size -- will hold about 150 Fine full size pictures with my camera(about the maximum day's worth for me). The change from 3.2 to 4 MegaPixel means that with the p73 the maximum is probably 125 or so and wouldn't advise anything smaller. -- Brian Sullivan Random Musings - http://radio.weblogs.com/0127028/ |

I have always received extraordinarily good support from Sandisk. They stand
by their products and are easy to work with |

SanDisk Memory Stick Pro "MagicGate" 256MB Thanks very much for the fast and enlightening response! I may think again about getting a Sony as £50 for 256mb seems a little expensive. Thanks anyway. £35 from ebuyer (inc vat + delivery) http://tinyurl.com/7x335 |
