Sony makes a good product, but their memorystick format is annoying.
No problems with the memory stick here. Have Sony desktop and notebook. Sandisk makes a nice multi-card reader too.
I use a Sony Mavica. It burns directly to a mini-CD (which fits in the little intention on your CD player in your compter -- kind of like a "single" back in the days of vinyl).
I just like the direct burn to a CDR (or CD-RW, if so inclined) --- as that is my ultimate destination.
Plus the mini-CD's are cheap and you can get 158 on there at 5.0 mp.
The Sony Mavica also has a nice opitical zoom and little do-dads like laser-fill-in, etc.
