--AH remember the good old days when they first brought out memory cards? I think they were like 1 or 2 mb and people were happy about it. Now we get all this Whining because 128 aren't big enough. I am one the NEW 717 owners and I am perfectly happy with the 128.Oh... E X C U S E...ME. If you took it as a personal attack, mayThere's a vast difference between sarcasm and name-calling, like
your "MORON" comment. The former requires wit, subtlety, and
intelligence. The latter is devoid of all that. English--some get
it, some don't (that's sarcasm and irony, fyi).
be you should get help. Did I call you a moron? I think not.
What I was saying is.... if you have to depend on Sony for self
gratification (bigger memory... better than brand X)... sell your
camera... PERIOD....
128 meg is a lot of memory.... your pictures will not get better
with a bigger MS.
Since you have only been here for 4 days, I'm going to back off.
People who know me here will understand.
If you decide to continue this, feel free. You will be talking to
yourself.

--In case you guys didn't notice, the F717 can record MPEG's, and
some of us not-so-hardcore owners actually use it, for taking
videos of kids and such (imagine that!). It eats up a lot of space
and can quickly fill a 128MB stick. So while 128MB would be more
than sufficient for still photos, it's a different matter if videos
are taken. Purist photographers might eschew the video mode, but
it's a pretty handy but memory intensive feature for others, and I
suspect a lot of the upset people fall into this camp.
OK... I said I wouldn't do this... but....The verdict repeats the crime it condemns.
I get to quote a quote that you quoted (OK now I'm confused) but here goes..............Well, I'm not sure that you should have bought a 717 then. There
were no big sticks then. I use the video a fair bit, but if I was
a hardcore videographer, I'd buy a digital video camera.
And at the 2nd highest mode you can get 20 minutes on a 128 meg
stick. At the highest quality, the 707 could only go for 15
seconds in storage buffer anyway.
OK... I said I wouldn't do this... but....The verdict repeats the crime it condemns.
Are you saying you "represent that remark"? If you anylize your
last statement, that is what you are saying.

How dare you call me open minded? (sarcasm)Ron, you're too funny. Now you're resorting to name-calling again,
calling me a "troll." Anyone can check out all my other messages
to see that that's not the case. No more of this; I'll only
respond to civil discussion from the open-minded.
Don't you hate being the voice of reason? Hide the tar and feathers.... you have just become the designated target for the trolls ;-)You are of course assuming that the F717 will not be able to use
the new stick. That is yet to be determined. I wouldn't worry
about it until we receive official word from Sony. As of right
now, there is not much to get too worked up about.

hehehehehe ........... why didn't I think of that one ;-)I am rubber and they are glue...hahahahahaha
--I agree with you 100% when I had the 5700 most of my cards wereBigger than 128meg not compatible????
How many of you take a full 128 meg MS of pictures and keep them
all????
None? I thought so.......
If all your shots are works of art... 128 megs is enough.... if not
then buy a couple more and take 5 seconds and change to a new MS.
Erase the not so good shots and move on.
Get a grip. Or buy a different camera... move on ... and quit
whining.
I have a 707... several 128 meg MS
I also have a Canon D-60 and a couple of 128 meg CF cards.
THINK ABOUT IT !
Flame me if you want..... The people who know me won't

128 and never was a big issue. Now that I made the switch to the
717 I just bought 4 sticks and plan to buy a few more. Only takes a
second to change anyhow no big deal.

Oh no... you poor bastardd... You still believe that the new MS will work just fine on your shiny, new, $900 F717 camera...It's certainly an eventful day. I say, let them whine, ...get it
out of their system. Then when the news comes that the pro sticks
are compatible with the 717 we'll be mature about it and not laugh.
I would laugh my off if they are compatible and all these
morons sell or return their cameras, only to find out... THEY ARE
MORONS ;-)
While I'm happy as a clam, secure in the knowledge that my 512MB CF card is perfectly reliable and safely tucked in my camera all the time, you should take care not to loose any of those little Memory Sticks floating around in your pocket.But I would rather have four 128's instead of one 512..
If one sick fails for any reason, then I only loose up to 60 pics..
Careful, that's also six times the likelihood of losing one of them...My wife and I are going to Ocho Rios next summer for our
anniversary and renewal of vows ( I'm a great husband ... LOL) ...
taking the 707 and 6 MS..... 6 times more chance of bringing back
pictures.
