Compatible Memory for Minolta Dimage G500
I'm a new user of the G500 (and this is my first digital camera). I purchased a 64 MB SD card, and am now looking for a memory stick as well - at least 128 MB, but maybe 256MB. I've heard complaints about 256 MB where you have to switch between the "halves" of the card. There's a SanDisk SDMSP-256-822 "Memory Stick Pro" that sounds good, and reasonable in price, but I'm thinking the Memory Stick Pro format may not be compatible with this camera.
Does anyone know whether it is compatible, or can you make other recommendations for memory sticks with this camera?
Thanks.
memory stick vs. SD memory card
I, too, have a Dimage G500. This camera is relatively unique in the fact that it supports both types of memory cards (you can use them simultaneously).
I've already upgraded to a 256 MB SD card (it came with a 16 MB card). So, my question -if I want to have A LOT of memory, should I buy an additional SD card and switch it out when I've filled up the first, or should I buy a Memory Stick so I can have both in the camera? Normally I don't take enough photos to have such a space issue, but I will be camping at a festival for ~ a month (with no computer to which I can purge out my photos).
Thanks in advance for any advice/thoughts.
