What are MS (MemoryStick) memory cards?
In 1999 Sony debuted their own flash memory product called the Sony MemoryStick. They are used primarily in Sony Cyber-shot digital cameras as well as Sony Digital Video cameras. They tend to be one of the most expensive formats of memory cards. The original MemoryStick card was limited to 128MB capacity. Sony has since introduced the MemoryStickPro (MSPro) which has larger capacities up to 2GB and faster transfer speeds. Sony also supplies a MemoryStickDUO card which is half the size of the original MemoryStick and was designed to fit inside their super-compact digital cameras. The latest generation is now known as the MemoryStickProDUO which was released in 2007 and has storage capacities of up to 8GB and very fast transfer speeds. They are also priced very highly when compared to the more widely available SD and CF formats.
