General Comments

Sony does it again! I have a DSC-P32 Camera that came with an MSA-128A card. The memory works well with the camera but put it in an external memory card reader and you should be prepared for failure.

When using an external card reader: Do not do anything but read files off of the card. Do not attempt to write anything to the media. Do not attempt to format the media. Most importantly, DO NOT put the memory card in a device that automatically attempts to do anything but read the media without first write protecting it.

To format the card (I'm sorry, memory stick) you MUST use a proprietary program to do so. Do not attempt to run a disk diagnostic because you will only see errors due to the special "format". You might get it to work, but you will most likely have errors show up later (I did).

The camera is great! The temperamental media is a headache. I will probably never buy a Sony product again that uses Sony media exclusively. You think that they would have learned from Beta.
