Is Sony starting to slowly transition away from the self-made format, the memory stick? Most new Alpha, the NEX and some Cybershots can now handle Memory Stick Pro Duo and SD cards, and the new PSPgo takes the new M2 sticks (although I believe thats more due to size). Now, Sony is releasing a SD card and reader for the Japanese market. The MRW-F3 titled, USB 2.0 SD card reader is priced at $18 and will hit the streets on November 10th.
Then, there is their SD cards that go all the way up to 32GB. Sony is releasing two series, the 4 class which is their consumer based and the 10 class which is their higher end, faster write and speed SD cards.
Class 4 cards:
- 2GB – $14
- 4GB – $21
- 8GB – $49
Class 10 cards:
- 8GB – $74
- 16GB – $150
- 32GB – $283
No dates for a US release, but expect them to hit our market some time after CES.
