In order to put this discussion to rest, let us compile us all the reviews we can find and figure out which is better. In the meanwhile saprobaby will be posting his personal benchmarks soon.

ALthough Sony has only 32MB card being tested, it shouldnt make any difference.
Posted by Xugaa
Usually going with Sony (even though more expensive) is the better option. Though of course thats not to put down SanDisk and other companies like Lexmar. I have a 512mb Lexmar one and I think its superb, certainly haven't had any trubles with it.

For the sake of clarity, it would have been better using same size cards for both.
I would imagine high capacity cards - 1gb and 2gb, and the high-speed branded cards that are available, will have been engineered better to cope with the huge amounts of data that they manage.
Is that not the case?

That might be true, but in this case, only 25mb file is being use.

@QVGA
Without sounding pedantic, wouldn't the the larger cards be engineered to manage data better 'irrespective' of file size?
I mean the performance of the larger capacity cards doesn't drop because a smaller file is used. It would be / should be constant, shouldn't it?

I'm not sure if this holds true, so if anyone has proof either way please feel free to let me know, but I was under the impression that Sandisk actually made the cards for Sony? Is that right, and if so then *theoretically* at least they should have the same performance?
Posted by goldenface
Apparently they don't have the same performance, with the Sandisk cards being quicker. Sandisk and Sony collaborated in developing the pro duo cards so theoretically they should be very much the same.
However, it seems they are not
I want to see these results.

they are both okay.
Posted by BobaFett
used both brnads, had no problem with them.
Posted by batesie
indeed even though Sandisk make Sony Memory sticks in the same factory for them lol

Not that simple...
Larger cards have larger addressing space.
FAT in a 32 MB card could be smaller than in a 1GB one.
(just trying to find an explanation. Don't take this for granted.
)
[EDIT]
Better yet... i think we ar comparing a Sony MS [Duo] of 32 MB with a Sandisk MS PRO [Duo] with 1Gb capacity.
Both versions are different, if not PRO sticks would fit on Normal MS devices... and that's not true.

No matter what size, all cards have only the same pipeline available. So it is better to compare same size cards transferring same size file.
Posted by Krubach
Exactly...
For a real benchmark test you should be getting similar sticks.

Personallt i buy sandisk due to their 5 year warranty and ease of getting a replacement
Posted by BobaFett
what actually the price difference in average between sandisk and sony?
Posted by goldenface
@boba
Generally, the Sony ones are a bit cheaper.
Posted by masseur
I dunno where you buy yours from but always see Sandisk memory sticks cheaper than Sony ones
Posted by rockygali
i bought my 1G high-speed for about $38.00, is that cheap enuff? or was that a fake? tho ive been usin it for quite sometime now. it never had any probs at all.
Posted by BobaFett
I payed 75 euro for the 2 gb sony mem stick, ca 1 month ago.

eBay! I did a quick price check a few days ago and the Sony ones were indeed cheaper.
EDit: Might they be fakes?

Beware! They may be fake!
Posted by goldenface
Just done another 2gb search on BIN and it seems the SD ones are cheaper - not by much though.
Posted by rockygali
well then again.. this is another case to case basis... ScanDisk is comparable indeed with SONY MS. the only difference is the price... and about the performance youll only know when you have one of these... then you can evaluate which one is good for you.

Sandisk here, can be used with other gadgets too . . . not just with
branded gadgets !
Posted by masseur
so can Sony ones
Posted by aremaboy
I prefer SanDisk. Once I bought Sony 512, and it turned out to be fake. Then I bought the original SanDisk. I know it's original.,it's from SanDisk authorized dealer under 5 years warranty. It's even cheaper..
