[blueprints]

Anyone knows if other cheaper brands of MemorySticks like SanDisk etc... which are compatible wit SONY NZ90. Pls post ure replys here. Thanx

[-MV-]

im sure they are compatible.

[Marudine]

I think you did not read Blueprints's question correctly. he was asking for recommendation of cheaper MS equivelent brand, and not compatibility.

[blueprints]

Thanx for correcting that Marudine. Yea i was asking for recommendations of cheaper MemoryStick. Other brands such as SanDIsk etc... Recommendations Anyone?

[Alistar]

I am using a normal Sandisk one and I have no compaints.

[-MV-]

sorry for that one...

Sandisk and Lexar are the only brands i know that produce MS other than Sony. all three brands should work OK...

I have my free 128mb SanDisk from compusa, and two 32mb Lexar that I used with my nx and camcorder, never had a problem. When I bought the 32mb for my camcorder I was going to get the Sony version but they were a bit more, the sale guys point, do you care what brand memory you put in your pc? Nope, just as long as it works. Lexar and SanDisk MS work.

Launchman, did u try out the Lexar Memorysticks in ure NZ. Did it give u any problems?

Lexar working fine in my NZ

[bluguru]

I have tried two separate lexar lighted 128 MS in the NZ and they tend to get stuck in the device. Not really stuck, but you have to really pull them to get them out. It is like something is catching on the side of the MS when you try to push it down to have the spring loaded slot pop it out. Now I have used both of my 128 lexars without any real problem, but they do not work as good as my i/o data "non translucent," "nonlighted" 128 ms (looks just like the regular Sony MS). Perhaps, it is that there is a slight design modification on lighted translucent Lexar MS. I did not notice this on my on my NX. Anyone else notice this??

[bluguru]

Incidently, doesn't Sandisk make MS for Sony (which they rebrand as their own). I remember reading it here during the MS Pro debate.

[blueprints]

Thanx for e replies guys. Thanx for sharing. Keep them coming, i believe this helps when deciding on which brand to invest in future...

I have used Sony, Lexar, Sandisk, and a brand called I/O Data brands of memory stick, all with no problems. I like the Lexar ones that have an LED indicator on them, great for devices that don't have activity indicators built in.

NP's that I've encountered thus far...issues w/ missingsync and memory stick, they are supposed to fixing that though

lexar for me seems to operate faster then my sony does. I would go with the lexar

I have the Lexar 128MB with the LED and it works just fine.

[pdagal]

2 Sandisks (64 & 128 meg) and 2 Lexar 128 meg (no flashing LED) work fine.

Blueprints, I have found a cheap MS at http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/339/C1472/ . It cost US$39.99 for 128 Mb Lexar MS (about S$75). Unfortunately it is an US web, hence you need to order via internet.

[blueprints]

There's a mail-in REbate n its for with in USA only... sigh... wish we had that in SG.

[blueprints]

Thanx for e info Marudine.

[Marudine]

Ok, I've found a 128 Mb MS for S$99 at SLS level 5. The brand of the MS is Apacer.

Has anyone used the APACER brand MS before ??

[blueprints]

128MB Lemax MemorySticks($95) @ Alan Photo are sold out.

But i got the 128MB Hagiwara MemorySticks($94) @ Dynasty Audio(2nd floor). Hope this is useful to u guys.

[Marudine]

blueprints, someone actually posted in another thread regarding 5% discount for Tang's member. Any idea is there NZ90 in the top level (electronic dept) ??

[blueprints]

Ive not gone to Tangs to check out e NZ, but there is a dept for SONY products @ e top lvl.

[Unregistered]

I think they should still have. I pre-ordered mine from Tangs on the day they had 12% rebate. On top of that, they also gave me the free gift of screen protector + 16MB MS. Overall a very good deal.

[Marudine]

unreg, how did you get the 12% rebate ??

[markga]

I use Sandisk MS with no problems at all
