Will the Memory Stick Pro Dual cards work if I use the adapter?
I lost my old Memory Stick and need to get a new one, most of the cards now are the little dual ones..

What adapter? I always used the dual sticks.

Edit, I had the 256 ones with 128 on each "side"

I have used a duo in alot of things with the adapter, just like a mini sd card woks in anything that uses a sd i am pretty sure it will.

I use the Duo in my sony all the time and it takes a full size stick. Its the same damn card its just smaller for use in smaller devices.

Heres another thing. Your camera has a maximum card size it can use. Also dont use high speed cards in a non high speed bus so on and so forth.

My Olympus can only use Type M or regular xD 512mb or less stick a 1GB in it it dont work what size MemrotyStick did you buy?

The problem is not because it's a DUO it's because it's a memorystick pro. The first camera to ever work with a memory stick pro was the DSC-F828.

MemoryStick Pro's are their high speed cards arent they?
Id get a 256mb Regular Duo to be safe that should work but yeah MS Pro wont work in cameras that are only designed to read MS

I purchased a Lexar Platinum 512mb (40x) Pro Duo for 20 bucks.

this dpreview spec sheet says f717 can take pro, so I dont know what to get now.
