Ditto. Memory sticks are very expensive, besides being proprietary.

Most disk memory stick adapters are far more expensive than a PCMIA compact flash adapter.

I like Sony cameras, as my wife has one, and she has a Vaio laptop for its small size. But I have gone the way of CompactFlash, for its affordableness, as well as its universal applications.

CompactFlash rules!!

On another note, what's with all the new media coming out: SD / MMC, secure digital, blah blah blah?

Why the #)($$#& can't the PDA and camera manufactuers use one standard or two - ie Compact Flash??

This is one of the many reasons I refuse to buy a camera that uses non Compact Flash cards, or a PDA that uses secure digital media - ie Palm Tungsten handheld. Way too many memory formats to manage!
