Memory Stick Duo v. Memory Stick Pro Duo

[PolyHereWeCome]

My apologies for what may be a very dumb question(s), but the Sony camcorder I bought today says it can use either a memory stick duo or memory stick pro duo -- What's the difference with these 2 types of memory cards? Is one better (more reliable) than the other?

Also, does everyone just buy Sony-brand or is SanDisk O.K.? For my still digital camera, I've always used SD and have had no problems.

THANK YOU!!

DH said the pro duo access the data faster. He is the Sony guy in the house with his PSP glued to his hand most of the time.

I also know he prefers the Sandisk over the Sony. He says they are faster than Sony. He uses a Sandisk Ultra II in his PSP to watch video on. He had trouble doing that with the Sony ones.
