Memorystick Pro Duo is now the
standard memory card sold for all Sony
digital cameras and similar devices. The
Memorystick Pro Duo was released by Sony as
a memory card solution for the ever growing
market in smaller and compact cameras. The
Memorystick Pro Duo has now completely
replaced the old Memorystick Pro which was
approximately one third longer.
All Pro Duo memory cards now are supplied
with an adaptor which allows the user to
insert the card into any device which uses
the old Memorystick Pro.
Memorystick Pro Duo cards are currently
available in the following capacities:
512mb, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB. A Pro Duo
memory card measures 0.8 x 1.2 x 0.06
inches. They are also available in different
speeds. The card pictured below is a Sandisk
UltraII Pro Duo card, these are high speed
cards which will process the data on your
camera at a higher speed than a standard
card. You also have less time to wait when
uploading or downloading information to or
from the card on a pc.
Memorystick Pro Duo is used in most Sony
devices including digital cameras, PDA's,
mp3 players, mobile phones and Playstation
Portable (PSP). There are however a number
of mobile phones that use a smaller version
of this card called the Memorystick Micro
M2. If you are purchasing a Sony Memorystick
for your phone please check to see if it
uses Pro Duo or Micro M2.
Pro Duo memory cards are currently produced
by leading brands such as Sandisk and Sony
themselves. Both of these brands are very
reliable. Sandisk are the worlds leading
memory card manufacturer and I think
everybody knows that Sony are a brand that
you can trust.
Warning about Memorystick Pro Duo cards
on ebay: Please be very carefull if you
are purchasing these cards on ebay. We know
for a fact that 90% or more of Pro Duo cards
on ebay at any one time are counterfeit.
There are many fake memory cards on ebay but
above all Memorystick Pro Duo seems to be
the format that is most prominent. These are
sold for a very cheap price but you stand a
very high chance of the card malfunctioning
after one or two uses.
