View Full Version : Sony camera no go with USB-on-the-go devices - help?

Ok - I am looking at buying myself an mp3 jukebox for recording samples, listening to mp3s, and now with the usb on the go technologies, to act as a data dump for my digital camera.

I'm looking at the iriver PMP or H340 series.

Only hassle is that I have a sony dsc-v1 camera, which apparently won't work with USB-OTG technology.

Anyone know if a generic yum-cha USB memory card reader will turn a memory stick into a UMS device, and thus get past that limitation of the sony camera?

Or is there an OTG compatible memory card reader that reads Sony mem sticks that you can point me in the direction of?

Cheers
Mark

Should work, yes.

A multi-format card reader may confuse an OTG bridge though as more than one drive is visible.

Do however keep in mind that most OTG bridges are hair-pulling-ly slow.

I'm currently researching a device I've seen which is a 2.5" disk enclosure with a built-in OTG bridge. Should be considerably faster, but as with all yumcha stuff it's hard to get the specs
