Topic: Whats "better" with the Sony M10, a microSD card or a memory stick micro card?

[F.O.Bean]

SSIA. I would bet that the microSD's are cheaper and easier to get? Also, the M-10 uses microSD, NOT microSDHC Is there even such a thing as a microSDHC

Also, does anyone use their remote?

TIA,
Bean

Well
look at NewEgg they have 16GB cards - but it's a beter deal to buy 2 8GB cards or 4 for that matter

Yeah, I always use newegg for stuff like that. I have used Ri-Data CF Cards in my 722 for 5 years now, so I'll prob just get 2 x 16gb Ri-Data MicroSD Cards I just asked which one is better because I have already gone thru 3 frickin MicroSD Cards in my phone, so if I have that kind of luck w/ my new M10, I'll be scrapping the whole microsd thing, and getting a few memory sticks

>I would bet that the microSD's are cheaper and easier to get?

Most likely they are cheaper and easier to get than the other "memory stick micro" which I guess is a Sony proprietary format? I think they did the same thing with the memory stick pro duo format which I use in my Sony PSP with no problems, but it would be nicer being able to use a "universal" type of card. I'd definitely stick with the more universal microSD/microSDHC format.


>Also, the M-10 uses microSD, NOT microSDHC Is there even such a thing as a microSDHC

I believe I have read the M-10 can use the microSDHC, most newer electronics that use the microSD can also use the HC version. Most of your larger microSD cards like 16GB and up will mostly be the HC versions, not that you can't find some that are not HC.

I don't have an M-10, but I do have quite a few of the microSD and microSDHC cards (Sandisk & Kingston) upto 8GB and have had no issues with any in the gadgets I use them in.

I use Kingston 8 and 16gb microSDHC's in my m10, no problems.

OK, thanks

I also use Kingston 16gb microSDHC class 4 in my m10, no problems what so ever.

Bean if you're having bad luck w/ microSD cards one thing that might help is to just leave them in the device and connect the device to the computer via usb cable for data xfer.  It's usually a little slower than using a card reader but a lot safer for the card IMO.

Yeah, thats what Ive done in the past.

The OP also asked about using the remote. I do, all the time. Recorder in camera case on belt, turned on, set to a generally workable Manual level (depending on your mic/preamp setup). Then I use the remote to Start, Track mark during applause and Stop. I find it does create a little bit of static if you use it to light up the display during recording (pressing Record while recording) to check levels, but Track marking is silent. There's no need to be handling the recorder unless you see the red limiter lights.

OK Thanks for the info

I purchased a 32gb card off of ebay... I bought it for my m-10...  I was skeptical at first.. Low and behold.... It worked!!!.. I now have 16 hrs of recording time...
