SONY is SOUL! Use this ADAPTER instead!

Just received this Memory Stick Duo Pro Adapter for use with a previously purchased 16GB MICRO SD (USD) memory card. (What people don't seem to realize is that this advertised item is ONLY an ADAPTER and NOT A MEMORY itself - it is required and sold separately). The item arrived FAST and well packaged in an anti-static bubble bag with strong adhesive. The adapter itself was placed in a plastic box. The bag suggests giving a 5 star rating and mine is an IS. Before inserting the 16GB USD card into the adapter, I placed a small piece of clear tape on the raised end of the thumb grip to provide a small pull tab to facilitate removal from the adapter. . I suggest examining your device's memory card connector with a flashlight before inserting it to get an idea of how the connector's gold fingers connect to the pins on this adapter. (It can only enter the memory card connector one way). The installation instructions for the SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-W150 memory card I bought did not contain any clarity when installing the memory card. I put this new MEMORY STICK ADAPTER + USD MEMORY CARD in my device and it turned on right away without the need to specifically reformat the card. I snapped a few shots and then pulled out my little US dollar sticky tape to fit my computer's memory card reader. Apparently the memory card adapter created a small MSSONY folder on the memory card itself in addition to the image storage folder. After transferring the recordings to my computer, I carefully inserted the USD card back into the adapter using tweezers. Since I don't have a camera cable, I went with the option of leaving the rickety adapter in the camera and pulling out the memory. Let's hope it works well over time. Since my purchase of a used camera cost less than this adapter, I would have no hesitation in recommending or buying this item again. Thank you!
