4.0 out of 5 stars
Works as advertised, but some caveats, Dec 7 2003

This review is from: Sony 512 MB Memory Stick Pro (MSX-512) (Personal Computers)
I picked this up for use with my recently purchased Sony digital camera, and it works great. Unfortunately almost all Sony products manufactured before 2003 cannot use these new high-capacity Memory Sticks.
Another sticking point is that only 460MB is usable on this stick, losing a whopping 52MB to the file system and Magic Gate overhead. I also own a 256MB version, and that has 220MB free.
Write speeds are noticeably faster compared to the older Memory Stick media, as well as read speeds in my USB 2.0 reader. Luckily the price has come down on these, and if your hardware can support it, these new Memory Sticks are worth picking up.

Finally a Memory Stick Worth Money, April 29 2003

I figure a 512MB stick replaces four 128MB memory sticks that sell for $70 dollars each. That is about $280. No brainer there. Get the large memory stick. I use this stick with my Sony F717 and I can finally take between 194-7500 pictures depending on the resolution I select. With digital cameras, storage is valuable. An added bonus is that the memory stick is quick. I notice a speed difference when writing to and reading from the memory stick pro vs. the regular memory stick. Very nice!

I use this memory stick in my Sony camera and it has worked perfect every time.
