Hi!

Does anyone knows? Is it 16 GB or 32 GB (if any)?

Thanks

Also, wonder whether the Memory Stick Pro HG-Duo can be used? Here

What kind of transfer speed for the SR11/12 to the MemoryStick Pro Duo is specified?

I was at a Sony outlet today and raised the mentioned question. I was told that the SR11 can support the 16GB Memory Stick Pro Duo

Thats good news

:D

In the users manual, (handbook) it states on page 106 "On a 'Memory Stick Pro Duo' the maximum memory capacity of a 'Memory Stick Pro Duo' that can be used with your camcorder is 8 GB."
Not sure the camcorder could format at 16 - 32 GB stick.

Why would you use more than 8 GB in the SR11? 8 GB is a lot of still pictures with the highest resolution !

because the memory stick is more reliable then a hard drive

Then why do you buy a camcorder with a 60 GB HDD ???? My HDR-SR12E has been around all over Russia and the Ukraine, from the hot Black Sea to cold Siberia, without any problems with the HDD. I made during that long trip about 12 hours of raw footage. That would be a lot of reliable memory sticks.

Anyway, as the ancient Romans said:"Degustibus et coloribus non dispuntandum est"

16GB is support for both SR11 and SR12.

As whether it can support 32GB, we will have to wait next year to find out. And hopefully 16GB price will drop as well... $200+ CDN is still expensive.
