Sony 4 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Flash Memory Card MSMT4G

I got this memory sick for my sony cybershot camera and it has been great. It has plenty of memory. I have taken videos and many pictures and there is still plenty of space still unused on the memory stick. Installation was a breeze. I took it out of the box put it in the camera and you're good to go. Simple.

I bought it and used it for 2 months and the memory stick had glitches in it. Every time i went to download the photos it would time out and not let me download and eventually after 3 - 4 months of use it stopped working. Don't know if they sent me a bad one or what but it was a waste of money and a big headache every time i used it.

Ordered a week before I left on vacation and it came in sooner than shipping date. Great memory stick for my new camcorder.

Works as it should. No issues with this purchase. Arrived on-time and in working order.

BEWARE! Many of these Sony 16GB Memory Stick Pro Duo cards being sold on Amazon are counterfeit. I purchased mine through an Amazon seller, One Flash, because they stated they would ship within 24 hours. Not only did they not ship within 24 hours, but when I did receive it (only 12 hours before I was leaving on vacation), the card was counterfeit. It was not defective, it was FAKE. I contacted One Flash who said they would issue a refund immediately on return. They received the return 7/12 and as of 7/23 I still have no refund & NO COMMUNICATION from them despite 3 additional contact attempts from me. I filed an Amazon A-Z guarantee claim, but still no refund yet.

I was forced to go to Best Buy to buy another card (at a higher price) so I would have a card for my camera (also purchased on Amazon) for my vacation. By the way, the camera - a Sony HX1 - is AWESOME!

Amazon has no control over what their Sellers ship, so that's not Amazon's fault. Hopefully I will get my refund with the A-Z guarantee, because I'd hate to think that the $50 in Amazon gift cards that my children got me for Fathers Day were stolen by a disreputable merchant.

But the bottom line is - when buying an item like this that is so commonly counterfeited, BE SURE TO BUY DIRECT FROM AMAZON, not through one of their Sellers. That way if there is a problem, you are dealing directly with Amazon and don't have to worry about a third party. I'm also guessing it is less likely that Amazon would sell a counterfeit item than some of their sellers.
