Topic: Portable Recorder for Piano

[flintstone]

The problems with Memory Sticks are

1.  Memory Stick Pro Duo is considerably more expensive than SDHC with similar capacity.

2.  Memory Stick is sold by Sony and Sandisk only.  So there's less competition, and fewer low-price deals.

3.  Sony recommends using these high speed Memory Stick Pro Duo models only:
Memory Stick PRO-HG
High Speed Memory Stick PRO

These high speed cards are not available in large capacities yet.  I think 4GB is the maximum today.  There are 8GB Duo cards on the market, but they are not the high speed models.  For some reason, Sony doesn't recommend the new Mark II cards for use in the D50.

Sony's specs for D50 Memory Sticks is here

Some people here have reported success using the slower Memory Stick Duo cards with the D50.  There are several slower Memory Stick Duo models, so you have to be careful which you choose.

Portable Recorder for Piano = Point and Shoot Camera for Cave Pictures

LOL.  That's one modern cave! With interior design and flashy lights (and shadows).
The first image that came to my head when I read your comment was a tourist wanting to take pictures of everything both in a museum or a cave. Craving for Flashhhh.

I saw it as a point and shoot camera in a cave where the flash was so weak all you would get was black.

Quite a good analogy, I think.
