What's the difference between them when used in the K750i? Is anyone better than another?
I'm planning on buying a memorystick, then I noticed it said "SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo GAMING 512Mb".
From what I've learned reading on Esato Sony and SanDisk makes memorysticks with exactly the same quality (if I'm wrong, please correct me), but, does this "Gaming"-thing matter or should I buy one of the other types (Ultra II, Hi-Speed, regular)?
I'm sorry if this have been asked before, but from the threads I've read about memorysticks here I can't remember anything about this.
Thanks in advance! |

there is no difference apart from the pretty colours that are use in gaming cards, I'm using a 1G Sandisk gaming card in mine with no probs.
Also the gaming cards tend not to be shipped with an adaptor so If you plan to put it in your PC you would need one of these as well.

Thanks Soootee
Then I'll order it since the adaptor-thing ain't a problem, got one with my phone =) |

The Gaming cards have a faster read speed, but a normal/slow write speed. These were made for the PSP but works in other devices too.
Also, there is a difference between Sony and Sandisk, check this thread: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=97942
Anyway, if you're only going to use it in your K750i, there will be NO difference as it does not use the extra speed.
Btw, you can read my FAQ here: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=97472 |

You don't necessarily need the adapter to use the card with the PC!, I bought a Sandisk card reader which reads all types of memory stick without the need for any dumb adapter. If anyone was going to buy a new card reader it would be easier to buy one of those types.
Mine doesn't really get that much use, 99% of the time I use bluetooth which is so much easier. Only ever use the card reader for sending over large numbers of pics from my mobile to the PC. |

Very good info abe2000, now I know for sure I didn't do a mistake ordering the Sandisk-MS.
Thanks! |
