There's little you can say about a memory stick. I've had mine a while and it's still working. Just note, if you fill up this card (1GB) and then upload them to a computer, the camera will use almost half of the battery power - so make sure you have a new set in before you start, as the camera will turn itself off half-way through and confuse the computer. If it does turn off, the computer might tell you the card is empty next time you plug it in - don't worry, it's lying, just restart your computer and put new batteries in your camera, and you'll get your photos back.
