I've decided to get either a A85 or A95 for family vacation pictures. I have a bunch of 512 type II cards for my DSLR and want to know if I can share these with the point 'n shoots?

The IBM and Hitachi Microdrives in 1, 2, and 4 GB, and the Seagate ST1 5GB are all type II. They won't work in the A series cameras. So the answer is still NO for type II, just in case the previous post confused some of you. 8)
