Memory stick vs Memory SD card

Which is better? The memory stick for the Sony H3 or an SD card for the Cannon SX100. The memory stick seems to be more expensive. Why?

SD cards, hands down. The Memory stick is proprietary. Only found in SONY. That translates to higher costs and a stunted development cycle as such, they don't perform as well, IMHO, as the more open source SD variety.

With Memory Stick you are stuck with Sony since it won't fit anything else. While SD isn't accepted by all other brand cameras, it is more universal and is even used on some of the newer model Fuji cameras which used to only allow xD cards.

Hi,

Just additional info on different mem cards

A memory stick is Sony's brand of memory cards. Up to recently all of Sony's cameras used Memory Stick exclusively. Now the high end Sony Cameras also use the Compact Flash cards too.

The Secure Digital cards were invented by Panasonic and non-sony cameras use them. So your Sony camera will NOT be able to use a Secure Digital card.

Most "non Sony" cameras. Fuji and Olympus use xD cards.
