[loupgarou]

very very good deal leh..

however, at this time I can't confirm yet, when are you closing this MO?

(if end jan, can confirm my order.)

 

[C-720]

HOPE TO CLOSE IT IN ANOTHER 10 DAYS . Even the seller did not give me a clear closing date but wish to close it as soon as possible as by then the price change , all of us won't be able to get it anymore for such a low rate.

I'm not selling this card to earn profit but to get a CF card with cheaper rate

Type I and II are different in their thickness. Type I being about 3mm and II about 5mm if I am not wrong. This 2.2GB card is not a solid state memory, but based on disk drive technology. It cannot be directly compared or replaced the solid state CF cards, as it is an alternative product with the same Type II interface.

 

[C-720]

yes again the attractive point of the Type I and II. $$$$
For normal Type I CF Card wtih 1GB >>>S$290~S$350
For Type II 2.2 GB >>> S$300 same price but double memory. It is good for laptop or pda use.

Again, if you are using those pro camera like Sony F282 then this is a good buy item. ;p

i think i GB Type I CF is more in the region of 350-500

 

[disclog]

What is the price if the total order less than 20 units?

 

[theITguy]

As Hellbreath said, Type I 1GB is in the range of $350-$500.

I would like to suggest that if you do not understand the difference in terms of technology used for a normal solid state CF card and this 2.2GB Type II CF card, please go and search for more information before making irrelevant comments.

 

[C-720]

I did not ask if i can get more than 20 pcs = $$$??
Cos the selling point over here seems like not hot enough :bheart:

Some guys are looking for a high tech CF card and with several while we are looking for a cheaper CF card, we do not mind for the speed or power consumption or Type what?? as long as can use for our pda, DC, laptop & etc. :thumbsup:

Thinking end this post by this weekend cos dun wana waste time....since is not supportive enough to meet the 20 pcs min order qty. :hung:

 

[theITguy]

Some people just do not know what they are talking, trying to escape the point of misleading people to believe untrue information.

 

[C-720]

:dunno: so let's the wise guy to tell us the bad point of this card as a consumer we have right to know what's going on? Personally, also want to know will it worth for us to spend S$300 to buy such a 2.2GB card? :think:


Or just 128MB is more than enough??! :sweatsm:

First, let me make this clear:

1. I am not wise nor a saint, just clearing up misleading information as a member of this forum, not trying to say about the bad points of a poduct.

2. As a consumer, you have the right. I do not have the obligation to explain the information to a guy that do not like to be proven wrong in the first place.

3. Tell me, if by using this card on a PDA and it reduces the battery operating time by 50%, do you think it is good for the heavy user?

4. The below statement make it look like you are saying the sun is settling down to the west without checking it is instead rising from the east. If I am using a Pro Camera I would not want to save on the storage that compromise the battery power if I am covering for a event. Moreover, it is made known by many that this drive cannot take it in heavy use, especially true for a Pro Camera that can do 8fps. Go look in the forums of www.dpreview.com and you will know why. That is why many bought multiple solid state CF cards instead.

Again, if you are using those pro camera like Sony F282 then this is a good buy item.

5. The below statement suggests that you want people to buy what you want to buy also in order for you to save money. Some camera simply do not have Type II support, or that they do not have the money to get additional battery due to the higher power consumption. This shows you are just another irresponsible guy doing the MO for your own benefit of saving money.

Need I say more make people believe that the MO organiser is not one to trust completely? He has give me no choice but to analysis it statement by statement for you all to see what a person he is. Normally I will not interfere too much if you guys want to buy, but making sweeping statements without proofs.

 

[loupgarou]

don't be silly, this is caveat emptor.

MO organiser says he can get 2.2GB Type II CF cards for sale at $300.

Its up to you to buy or not buy, if you don't do your research and buy,that's your own fault.

He shouldn't need to ensure as to whether you have enough batteries, or can afford the extra batteries, whether your camera supports type II or not.
That ONUS is on you, the consumer.

Mind you, he is giving incorrect information to potential buyers. Looks like only the last point gets into your brain. Read the first 4 points instead.

 

[C-720]

That's enough ! Thanks a lot for all the one who have viewed this post and keen to get it like myself do.

Anyway, thing just goes not like what we think! Thanks "loupgarou"

It's hard to make a cake to suit everyone taste! :dunno: Sorry to be a stupid MO organiser by quoting a wrong info over here :bheart: and hope nobody will get hurt

sorry, this is the information about the MO that I gather , exactly what about it is incorrect?


yes it is Magisstor 2.2GB, below is the specification

Industry Standard CF+ Type II interface and PCMCIA Type II compatibility (for PCMCIA adaptors), suitable for a wide range of handheld devices.

Ultra compact and lightweight, weighing only 16 grams.

as far as I know, this CF card works for my 300d , (considering that my 512MB cost me $200, I don't mind getting a 2.2GB so that I can get more RAW shots out of it).

btw: if that is the above specs, I can confirm my order . 1 piece pls.

[chucks]

The way I see it, both sides have good intentions. C-720 is doing an MO for something he deems is of great value. theITguy is trying to be helpful by providing more info. for potential buyers. So kudos to all parties!

To clear up some doubts:
1. The MagicStor is not a flash memory card. Much like the IBM/Hitachi Microdrive, it is in fact a miniature harddisk.

2. The MagicStor uses a Type II CF interface. Type I is 3.3mm thick while Type II is 5mm thick. Type II cards generally have higher capacities. The thing that buyers should take note of is whether your device can support Type II cards.

3. There are devices that accepts CF Type II cards, but just couldn't work with Microdrives. This is why on some cameras, the manufacturer would in addition specify whether it is MD compatible. So the point is, for the MagicStor, even if ur devices accept CF Type II, there is no guarantee that it would work. Then again, there is also no guarantee that it would not work. One way of confirming is to seek for other users' reports, comments and experiences, either from magazines, forums or websites.

4. The compatibility list on MagicStor website is not exhausive, but it is a good guide for a start. Users have reported that it works with newer cameras such as Sony F828 and Fuji S7000 but both are not yet in MagicStor official list. The Canon 300D is previously on the list but is now taken down.

To summise, nothing is really definite or conclusive. There are too many variations in user experiences. But it does helps for buyers to do some research on their part and make their own judgement call.

Hope the MO would be a successful one for all parties. Peace.
