Sony Announces New 16GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Media

Largest capacity Memory Stick delivers quick and easy footage transfer, ideal for Sony’s High-Definition (HD) camcorders and high-resolution digital still cameras


Sony Electronics Asia Pacific expands its range of high-definition recording options with the introduction of the 16GB Memory Stick PRO Duo media. This large-capacity flash storage device is ideal for Sony’s latest AVCHD Handycam camcorders and high-resolution Cyber-shot and α series cameras. The new Memory Stick media can store up to 110 minutes of high-definition (HD) video recorded in 1920 mode, approximately 6 hours of HD video in 1440 LP mode, and up to 3800 still images in 10 mega-pixel resolution.

The Memory Stick PRO Duo is the optimal media for the recording of HD content on Sony’s new range of AVCHD camcorders and digital still cameras, as it quickly and easily transfers large amounts of video and image content between devices. It can also be easily removed from the camcorder or digital still camera and inserted into the Memory Stick slot in compatible computers for convenient sharing and editing of content.

“Sony continues to develop higher memory capacity media to meet the increasing needs of our customers,” said Mr. Hakuyu Yoh, Director of Recording Media & Energy Division, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. “With the launch of the 16GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, Sony strives to make the storing and sharing of high-definition content more convenient and effortless than before.”

The Memory Stick PRO format also has the added Mark2 certification to designate AVCHD recording support. Memory Stick PRO media products with this logo meet the standard for higher writing speeds, and are certified to operate with recording products that use the AVCHD format.

The 16GB Memory Stick PRO Duo media is available in Asia Pacific from March 2008.

I think if it's for its original purpose (video n photos) we shouldn't worry about lag or not

but then again, some of us are not talking about that are we?

sound like just a hoax! 4GB is good enuf

hoax? what do u mean by that. i think this much of memory is useful for the sony ms camcorder in order to record more video.

ya...i saw an ad on the paper there's even 32GB ones for camcorder...

500++ bucks for 1 memory stick?? if your kid accidentally swallow it how???

I'd beat the shit outta him. But then again, I'm not a parent.

i rather purchase a 4GB and a 8GB one rather than a single 16GB.. for safety reason though.. hehe

currently selling at $299 in US; RM 900+

Original 8G memory stick pro duo only selling for about RM233 in the US now, see link below:

i guess the 16G will be drop to RM499 in very short time.

8G Memory Stick Pro duo for $72.99

hmmm 4gb enuff la... 16gb too big ~

im currently using 8gb.. also more than enough aredi.. I heard the 16gbs like few months ago that it will launch on march. Still nvr consider abt it coz i think it's too big for it XD

u using 8GB mspd or m2 for ur PSP ?
i also want to get one .. any difference with 4gb ? besides the capacity lolx

If not mistaken, the upload speed is slighly more than the 4gb one. But hard to find..

hard to find in buying 8gb? oo i have no problem with that cos ive got a fren selling it withh distributor
price.
just concern on whether to get 8gb with m2 or mspd <SANDISK ori
