Product Description
The Memory Stick PRO format was designed to realize continuous real-time recording of high capacity high-resolution moving images. In addition to its theoretical maximum transfer speed of 160Mbps, a main advantage of the Memory Stick PRO format is its minimum write speed of 15Mbps as a format standard, which will enable continuous real-time recording of high-resolution moving images. Furthermore, the minimum write speed of 15Mbps will make it possible to design more reliable moving image recording devices capable of preventing data loss in the event of sudden power loss or accidental removal of the media during file recording.The new format includes the MagicGate copyright protection technology as a standard feature providing secure protection for commercial and copyrighted content. By fully utilizing an embedded intelligent controller unit, the Memory Stick PRO format will also enable prevention of third-party access to personal data. Tentatively named "Access Control Function", the new protection technology will form the base of a high-level security system for Memory Stick networking features. As an advanced new generation media format, the Memory Stick PRO offers future expandability allowing it to evolve to bring new, exciting applications and benefits to its users.

Reader Reviews
At the turn of the century we started out with a Cannon GS-1 digital camera with a 16 MB CF cards which went up to 1 GB CF cards a few years later. Then we bought a semi professional Sony DSC-F828 Digital camera which took both CF & Sony Memory sticks but the price for a 1 GB Sony Memory stick was over the top. Today you can get four times the memory at half the price & size with an adaptor to boot with the Sony 4 GB Memory Stick PRO DUO. Amazon.com is selling at a very low price & comes with fast service. Thanks, next time I go on vacation I will bring a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 with just one 4 GB Memory Stick, put everything in my pocket & wait for the perfect shot.
