Sony Memory Sticks

[pammy]

Dear all - what are the chances of posting a new thread the second the forum goes for an upgrade? Well I did it , and I'll put my paranoia aside and convince myself it's not a conspiracy and post it again

Does anyone have any views on the better stick/value for money of Lexar against genuine Sony. I bought a Sony TRV 33E digi camcorder recently and want to buy a new stick. Don't believe in wasting money on brands if not necessary Also, with the exception of the usual suspects like Ebay and Amazon, where's best to buy from, does any forum member have an interest

Pammy,

Have a look at this site. http://www.valuemedia.co.uk/
I have used them several times and they have always been cheap and efficient.
I don't know about the manufacturer Lexar you are talking about but most of the ones I use seem to be as good as the main manufacturers.

Lexar are 100% Sony compatible

Hi Pammy,

Go with the Lexar ones. They are electronically identical and are licensed from Sony anyway so save the pennies. I've been using Lexar and Sony ones for over a year now without any issues, only the label is different.

Most of the computer places do them pretty cheap now. I bought mine from Jessops.

I have both and have seen no difference. Only the Price.

I have a what appears now to be old hat 2.1 mill, sony camera, when bought I also purchased a Lexar 64mb stick additional for it. In three years of reasonable use including taking it out of the camera using the floppy adapter , dropping the case etc.. it has never failed in anyway, they must be getting cheap now aswell.
