Topic: PCM-D50 16GB memory card?

[aleatoric]

I am still awaiting the arrival of my PCM-D50 but I am currently geeking out looking at accessories and stuff online.  Eventually I know I will want to expand the built in 4GB memory.  On the Sony site it states "And the Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo Slot provides up to 4GB memory expandability."

However I am noticing the Sony has 16GB memory cards.  Like this one:

The one thing I noticed is that it does not say HG so maybe it is not compatible.  However I just thought I would post and double check.  Is the 4GB card the largest that will work with the PCM-D50 or will the 16GB cards work as well.  Thanks!

There's what Sony says is compatible, and then there are reports from the field. Several people have successfully tried using Sony's slower memory cards in the D50.  I think it's safe to use the Sony Memory Stick Duo cards labeled "Mark 2."  These are designed for use in Sony's high definition video cameras.  The D50's firmware will complain about cards with capacity bigger than 4GB, but they will work.

I had just talked to a Sony rep about this last week and he said that it will not accept over 4GB that is the limit.  If real world experiences are telling you different then it might be possible.   I think I know more about the deck than him.  It really seem he was reciting back literature.
