DSC-F707 and Memory Sticks

[msx2plus]

Hello, all!

I am a new member to this forum so please excuse me, if I happen to ask a question that hes been asked before...

I have a Sony DSC-F707 that I still use sometimes and I am thinking of getting a bigger Memory-Stick. When I first bought the camera, the 128MB-Stick was rather expensive but I got one anyway. Now, the 1 and 2 GB have become fairly common and I wonder which type of Memory Stick I can use...

In the user's manual, the say that "Memory Sicks" and Magic Gate Memory Sticks" can be used... does that mean, that the following types will not work:

Memory Stick PRO
Memory Stick PRO DUO

???

It looks as if only the latter two are still available...

Thanks for your answers!

Best regards fro, Germany

I have an F707.

Sadly, 128 meg is the max.

The F717 can take larger memory sticks.

What's worse is that the 128 meg sticks are getting harder and harder to find.

I have the F707 and still love it. I have several 128meg stilcks (the max allowable) but I have one that is a 128x2 stick that has a small switch. The stick in essense has 2 128meg memories or 256 available. I still get them on ebay.

There was a post recently about 128mb Memory Sticks for less than $15 from Fry's Electronics or frys.com.

Better than messing around with Ebay, which has a lot of fake memory chips.

I bought one for my P9 at Best Buy for 20 bucks.

My last 2 duo cards came with a standard memory stick adapter.
I'd go that way.
