You could try the Sony AC-SQ950 or something like that, but it's $200+

Yeah I bought a oem battery.
Because everytime I need to charge it thru my cam, it find it troublesome, so just wondering if there a single battery quick charger available. I know there is one normal external battery charger but from the manual book it says it takes abt 2hrs to charge one. The double battery charger is the one that can take less than 2hrs but I only need a single battery charger.

The 256Mb is only available in Memory Stick PRO, unless you are refering to the 2x128Mb Memory Stick with Memory Select.

256Mb MS PRO
MS Color = $230 w/o GST ($239 w/GST)
CP = $240
AP = $240
SONY = $300

512Mb MS PRO
CP = $480
AP = Don't carry.
MS Color = Unknown
SONY = $600

1GB MS PRO
=??
SONY = $1200

I tested the speed of the MS PRO verus the conventional MS.

I use the Burst mode on the F717 to take 3 shots and timed the Recording time from the time the RED "RECORDING" appeared on the LCD till the time the "RECORDING" word disappeared.

128Mb MS = approx 10 seconds
256Mb MS PRO = approx 6.5-7 seconds.

There is about 30-35% improvement over the orinigal MS.
Useful for those TIFF lovers.
