Wondering what to do with that MS slot on your A900 or A700 and don't use or won't buy memory sticks?

Here's a little accessory that packs two micro SD slots on a memory stick.
Fits right in my A900. Formats out two cards as a single drive. Has capacity for two 16GB Micro cards for a total of 32GB.



These little pinkie nail sized cards are coming down in price as the capacity grows and are becoming a standard as cellphones demand more memory. I've only tested the class 2 and 4 cards. I've got two 8GB class 6 cards on order for some speed testing, but so far there are no problems and the big buffer on the A900 doesn't slow things down anyway.

On the inside of the card door there is a clear plastic "emergency stash" filled with a 2GB Micro SD card that I tucked into a recess and affixed with double stick tape.

That is a pretty neat adapter. I just checked ebay and they are cheap too.

I use a a CF to SDHC adapter. SD cards are way cheaper and easier to find than CF cards. I have a class 6, 16GB SDHC card in my camera.

Wow, looks promising. My only problem up to now with Micro SDs is the size of them. So tiny they'd be easy to lose track of I'd think, but stored in that adapter and left in there permanently would work for me.

I use a single slot sd micro to MS pro duo adapter for my A700, also works like a charm, and it was €3!
