Most interesting about all three new models though is its support for SDHC cards, on top of typical support for Sony’s own Memory Sticks. Here’s to hoping the same happens to some future version of the PSP.
All three cameras will become available for pre-order “this week” from sony.com, for a sometime July release.
Purchasing memory cards is such a big hassle… You have to search online for prices, filter through which ones are genuine, go out to a bunch of stores,compare prices, finally buy your memory, and then hope that the price doesn’t drop in the next 2 weeks or so.I’ve been done in by crazy price changes in the past… especially this one time when I bought a Micro SD for my R4 gaming flash card at what I mistakenly assumed was a bargain price, only to later see that it had dropped by five bucks in a week’s time.(Submitted from 6Post for R4i Nintendo DS.)
