RE: Re: OT Compact flash or smart media

[rj@xxxxxxx]

while the memorystick technology seams quite new at the moment and
proprietary to sony there are actually something like 155 companies that
have signed up for the technology. so expect to see a lot more of it in the
very near future. and sony have 1gb memorysticks (not quite available for
public yet)

regards.

My only concern with these is that they are proprietary to Sony, don't get
me wrong I like sony kit, my TRV900 DV Camera is Rover's testicles, but I
would rather use non-proprietary memory. In fact the TRV900 has a PCMIA
slo=
t
which takes Compact Flash in an adaptor for stills.

just my opinion

Ever thought of Sony's memory sticks?
I us a Sony DSC F505v with 3.3m pixels, mainly to take macro shots of eyes
=
&
lid surgery - the shots at 'medium' resolution (1800x1300) are superb for
printouts, powerpoint presentations with projectors etc
It was supplied with a tiny 8mb memory stick, but i soon got 64mb which
holds around 60 pics at the above resolution
I recently got an iPAQ with the pcmcia expansion jacket & the memory
stick
pcmcia adaptor. So i can use the same memory stick in my camera & then
view
the images at once on the ipaq, as well as using it as storage for other
files for the ipaq

i know there are similar uses for sm & cf, which are also slightly
cheaper
but memory sticks work fine for me!!

Cheers

Jon
