Besides the fact that Compact Flash isn't used much any more. It was popular a few years ago as the main memory card for cameras. Compact Flash has since been replaced now by SD (Secure Digital) memory cards which are smaller and transfer data at a faster rate. Memory sticks are proprietary to Sony and Sony only. Sony digital cameras only use Memory Sticks. Some other manufacturers use them as well but not exclusively. My Konica digital camera accepts both Memory Sticks and SD cards. SD cards are the standard, Memory Sticks are not. If you buy a Sony digital camera it will only work with Memory Sticks. Everyone else will work with SD.
SD in the new future is going to be replaced by xD memory cards which are much smaller in size (not storage capacity), they are about the size of a postage stamp to sizes of 1GB but there are xD to SD adapter cards you can buy so you can use xD memory cards in SD slots but the opposite is not true.
Merry Christmas!!What are the differences between 'compact flash',%26amp; 'memory sticks'?

Some USB memory devices are called Flash Drives, not memory sticks. Report Abuse
