Sony 16 GB PRO-HG Duo HX Memory Stick MSHX16A (Black)

OK, I'm a very common digital camera user. I spend a lot of money on European travel and I take A LOT of non-flash pictures when I am there. I use maxi-pixel formats so I can recompose my photos at home, often cropping to 'zoom in' as I have 'more mature' thoughts. These cards capture what my SONY CYBERSHOT camera can record and they keep it safe and sound if you don't delete things by mistake. I typically take 2500 pictures on a four-week trip. Too often, I have run out of memory in the middle of a day or in the middle of a trip. I have had to buy memory at 'expensive' European prices. This device should prevent that, even on a six-week tour filled with photo opportunities and the need for 'retakes.'This device works in my SONY CYBERSHOT camera. Check out the table to make sure it works in yours!

I purchased this to upgrade the storage capacity of my Sony PSP 3000. I had originally bought a SanDisk 4 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Flash Memory Card SDMSPD-4096-A11 from the same store as the PSP, but soon I needed more storage for games. I also noticed that a few saved games often became corrupted on a regular basis. I did not attribute this to the card at first, but I was curious if the new card would have the same (annoying) problem. After using this new card for several weeks it has shown to be more reliable than the previous one, as the save data has not once become corrupted. The extra space has allowed me to keep all of my downloaded games on the PSP (around 12, varying sizes, several of them over 1GB) with a few gigs left over for new content.

It works great with my Sony camera. My camera can take pictures and view pictures very quickly from this card. Honestly for the price, they should throw in a plastic case.I like to buy a new memory card once I fill up a card. But at Sonys memory card prices compared to a SD card it makes me want to buy a non Sony camera and get a camera that uses SD memory.

I just wanted to add a comment that seems to be lacking in the product review/descriptions. This unit works with the Play Station Portable. The memory card seems to be reasonably priced for the memory obtained. The PSP lists 15 GB of storage is available on it. I've only had the product a few weeks and haven't noticed any problems, hence I gave it the maximum rating. However, it's hard to tell if this is truly a good product as its dependent on how well this product works/functions 5-10 years down the road.If you plan to play UMD disk games and avoid downloading games from the PSN network, buy a cheaper card. In most cases 2-4 GB will be more than enough for game saves from UMD disks. Keep in mind there are some good games on the PSN network that are not available for purchase on UMD. If you think you may purchase a few games from PSN then you should be looking at 8-16 GB cards. 32 GB cards supposedly have lag issues so I wouldn't recommend purchasing one for a PSP.

I have had no issues with this card at all. I recently got a new 16.2MP Sony Cybershot DSC-WX9. I had no issues installing this card, and it holds a great deal of high quality and 3D pictures and video. Surprisingly my HP card reader that is built into my computer accepts this and reads this card without any trouble. Even if the computer didn't read the card I could just as easily use the USB cable to import the photos and video.I recommend this card if anyone thinks about buying it, but make sure your device supports Pro-HG Duo HX memory before placing the order. From what I understand this card is not completely interchangeable with other Memory Stick types.

It says MSHX16A but the one I got was actually MSHX16B which is the latest model and that is AWESOME. And yes the memory stick is the REAL DEAL, I know there is a 1 star rating but that buyer was actually mistaken. The mem stick he got was also REAL. If you don't believe me go on to Sony website and you'll see the newest model is MSHX16B and MSHX16A was also Sony's product.Anyway, this is definitely recommended. It runs fast and has MAGICGATE SUPPORTED.

(Review written by item recipient, not by above account holder name)Received authentic Sony product sold by MemoryWhiz. Using this in a PSP Slim 2000 model. Works perfectly, though it won't benefit from the additional speed (I think Sony cameras and camcorders utilize the extra pins for enhanced speed) but it's still faster than the original memory stick pro duo's for PSPs. With CFW it loads my backed up ISOs and other homebrew software just fine.

I cannot truly rate this product yet until I use it more.
