This memory stick will enable you to save more than four hundred images in your digital camera.


Hi,
I googled the terms "memory stick, card, and chip," and they all exist. But I wonder it they all refer to the same thing. Thanks.

 No, they are different formats for digital memory.

A chip is the small integrated circuit that is installed on a memory board or inside a memory stick. It is not independent, and you don't carry one of these.

A card is an integrated circuit mounted on a flat board that is plugged into a bus (inside a laptop or a tower), or inserted into a reader/writer device (secure digital card. ) You need the proper reader / writer devicefor it to work.

A memory stick has the memory and all the electronic circuitry for reading and writing the memory inside. It is independent and portable - it can be plugged  into a USB (or other common type of ) port.
