I would not let this be a deciding factor.

Last week, I purchased a 128 mb Sony memory stick only to have my 3 year old Sony digital camera knok out on me. I'm considering buying another camera. If I want to continue to use the memory stick I just bought, am I limited to Sony brand only or can the Sony memory stick be used with other brands of digital cameras?
