This is why I'm yet to buy a Sony Camera/Camcorder and strongly advise people against it. The memory is super expensive and it is always good to buy a lot of it for those kinds of devices. Also, the inability to share across multiple devices is always a down side. If their proprietary memory was same/cheaper in price to SD it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

Pro Duo card adapter that uses MicroSD memory.

I was just made aware of that product a few months ago and forgot about it, but when I bought my devices I thought the memory was different enough that they were completely incompatible.

Anyways, that is only one of the reasons I don't like Sony products in general. The other is they generally overcharge and underdeliver. Canon and Nikon make superior camera products. Yamaha, Onkyo, and others make better A/V systems, and the list goes on. While Sony does make some good stuff (I love their phones that I get for free), not everything they make is good and the propriatary format is still annoying.
