Manufacturer's Description
Maximize your digital file storage with the durable MSX-256S Memory Stick PRO media from Sony. Featuring 256 megabytes of storage space with 220 megabytes available and an expanded operating temperature range of -13 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit, you get all of the benefits of standard Memory Stick PRO media with increased durability. (Available storage capacity may vary. A portion of the memory is used for data-management functions.)

The MSX-256S is backwards compatible with most devices that use standard Memory Stick PRO media (though proper operation with all devices is not guaranteed). Its compact design is slightly smaller than a stick of chewing gum, so it's incredibly compact and very easy to store. Its combination of storage size, durability, and compatibility makes it the perfect complement to a new digital camera.

Customer Reviews

First rate product!
The 2 poor reviews this card has received are from people who bought this Memory Stick Pro when their camera was only compatible with the Memory Stick Duo. This should not reflect badly on the product - only on the buyers...
This card is flawless - I have even seen tests where it has been boiled in a kettle, hit with a hammer, driven over by a car and then nailed to a tree and it was still possible to retrieve the photos stored on it!
Having said all that - the Sandisk version of this card is generally a little cheaper and given that these cards are actually made by Sandisk (in a joint venture with Sony) it would seem somewhat unnecessary to pay extra for the same card, just because it has been rebranded with the Sony name.

As much space as I realistically need for my Camera
I bought this for my Camera as my Sony DSC-P150, with 7MP takes up a filesize of 2.5MB on average, with this I am able to snap enough fun out of the camera and keep those moments. I don't really need any more than this 256MB, although the 512MB is just a little more pricewise. You make the call....for those wondering if it is enough for your 5MP cameras, yes! It is a good piece of kit all around!

More than enough space
I have recently purchased th 256 mb stick to up-grade my Sony P73 camera from the bog standard 16 mb supplied which i found by the way to be a waste of time approx 5 mins of video,on the up-grade i am pleased as a tester i set the p73 to video and recorded to my amazement i managed to get nearly 30 mins in so i thought that was great and also i am able to take over 250 pictures with-out filling the card, i feel that this is ample space i mostly down load at the end of the hols etc but i have not reached the full card maximum as yet and of course once down-loaded you are free to start again,or less your a pro and snap at every thing in sight i honestly don,t think you need any more mb,s than 250, i feel that after all the use i have been having with the card i am confident to reassure the above as a great accessory for the Sony P73 Camera
