So from this, the 717 can take the 1GB ms pro natively (i.e. w/o any upgrade) where as it's the dead end for 707.

This is a premature statement for now. Let's watch to see how it unfolds.

I'm not sure that its all that premature. The press release includes a list of currently compatible devices as well as devices which are compatible via a software upgrade. The 707 isn't listed in either. What I found interesting about the press release was the 32GB theoretical maximum of the media.

From the Sony press release:
Compatibility with Current and Future Devices

While many new Memory Stick PRO media-enabled devices are expected to ship in spring 2003, certain devices currently in the market are able to accept the new format cards either natively or through a downloadable software patch.

Devices that can accept the new format cards natively include:

Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-F717 digital camera

YES!

I guess the point is this: Carefully read all of the press releases as they become available, to see what options are available for the F707 and older generation of cameras. It may be that one will satisfy the needs of the user.

Even discounted it won't be a bargain!
I think I'll stick with my cheap 128mb MSs.

From Sony press release: "Available at retail in April, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB Memory Stick PRO media will sell for about $190, $440 and $880, respectively." Holy moly, that's more than my F717! I think I'll stick with the soon to be discounted plain vanilla 128MB sticks.

Matthew Cromer · Jan 9, 2003

Expect sales to go up like a lead balloon.

I'll buy a pack of the 128s though!

DSC-P1, 19 months old, $700
DSC-F707, 10 months old, $950
DCR-PC101, 2 months old, $1250

Total: $2900

All incompatible with MSX.

I use all three in blizzards and downpours- where the last thing I want to do is open the body of the camera to flip a switch or change a stick.

In the long run, I'm sure MSX will be a great thing. But I won't forget this for a long time.

It's a shame.

Ulysses · Jan 9, 2003

And then they come down two or three months after they actually start shipping.

The price today is not the price it will be tomorrow.
