Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Lexar Media 256MB Memory Stick Pro - Memory Stick Pro is a new type of digital media that is designed for high-end digital capture of stills & video. WIth a transfer speed of 15Mb/sec. (1.8MB/sec.) large videos & high resolution pictures are copied and transferred faster than ever before! With Memory Stick Pro you also gain the advantage of Real-Time Recording. This means data is recorded to the Memory Stick Pro media in real-time, so in case of accidental removal of the card, you will retain the data already on the device. Also, new technology unique to Memory Stick Pro allows you to secure content on the media in the event the media is either lost, or stolen.

Customer Reviews:
Works great once you get it out of the packaging March 25, 2007 I ordered four of the memory sticks for use with my Sony digital camera and my digital picture frames. They are excellent for both uses. They are also extremely reasonable, especially for use in the picture frames. I can swap them out with new updates with ease. My only complaint was in the plastic packaging. I understand the need to make packaging difficult to quickly open in order to reduce shoplifting. But the plastic packaging becomes more hazardous all the time. I'd almost be willing to pay a premium for an easy open container.
It's faster yes, but is it worth the money? October 16, 2004 I recently bought this item because I bought a Sony CyberShot DSCP73 Digital Camera not long ago and I couldn't capture high definition (640x480) videos with the normal Memory Stick (not PRO). So I decided to give it a try. I'm extremely happy with it. Lexar flash products are extremely reliable and fast (I have Lexar JumpDrives as well).
Lexar Memory Stick PRO is a little bit more expensive than others but it's because its speed. If you capture a video with a SanDisk Memory Stick PRO you'll see it's not smooth since the SanDisk is not that fast. Also you can notice it when you're transferring your videos and pictures to the computer, with Lexar media it's way faster than the SanDisk.
But SanDisk MemoryStick PRO media is way cheaper. If you're just gonna take pictures and not capture video with your digital camera, maybe you don't mind to wait a few more seconds in the transfer process. Also if you don't need speed you can find a 256 MB Lexar Memory Stick (not PRO) for about half the price of this one here in Amazon.
Keep in mind that if your device is not compatible with PRO media this Memory Stick WON'T work. I have read reviews of Memory Stick PRO media where people complain it is not compatible with their cameras. Read the manual of your camera first!
I gave it 4 stars because even if it's a really high quality products with absolutely no flaws, it's still kinda expensive for what it is. Lexar Memory Stick PRO media should be only few dollars more expensive than their cheap competitors, but not a dozen dollars more.
