You took a 1000 pics with a Sony digicam? How many memory sticks do you have? What rez are the pics? Personally I find the memory sticks to be poor value for money in terms of $/MB. Even the new 256MB sticks are simply two 128MB cards combined together, to use the other 128MB you need to flick a switch. And the 1GB stick will only work in very recent cameras. Sony support is a joke. Gimme CompactFlash with integrated controller anyday. *hugs 1GB Microdrive*
