A SD card and a memory stick can often be confused with terms. A memory stick is a small thumb drive that you plug into your computer.. if you look at it it looks like a little thumb with a USB tip on the end of it. These memory sticks are usually meant for data saving and easy transferring. Most cameras do not work with these.
A SD card however, is a small card meant for cameras. It holds the same principle as a memory stick but is meant for cameras and can be read by some computers as well.

SD or Secure Digital is a fairly standard "flash" memory card that is used in many cameras and other devices. A "Memory Stick or Duo Memory Stick" is a type of flash memory that is particular to Sony. The two are very different and can not be interchanged.

Yes,2 very different types of memory card.
Memory Stick is a proprietry SONY make
SD Card is a different shape, size, voltage etc etcet c
They are not intercompatible and even with an adaptor MANY devices will not read the other model
Jackal should read question the mention of a cyber shot camera clearly indicates that the memory stick ref is to a sony memory stick "card" not a USB pen drive

Now the severe end Sony Cameras additionally use the Compact Flash playing cards too. The shelter digital playing cards have been invented by potential of Panasonic and non-sony cameras use them. So your Sony digital camera isn't waiting to apply a secure digital card.
