EastGear said:Dear Sir,
I apologise for the inconvenience caused to you.
In my hurry to reply your PM, I mistakenly saw your order as a Hagiwara 256MB CF. That is why I said that you can collect the order immediately as we have plenty of stock of Hagiwara & Toshiba 256MB Compact Flash.
It is my oversight and I apologise for that.
However, I was personally there when you came to collect the order. I would have personally apologise and explain the situation to you had you not got onto the phone and carried on with the phone conversation until you leave the shop.
The reason we stock Hagiwara & Toshiba CF instead of SanDisk CF is because both Hagiwara & Toshiba CF uses a faster, better memory chip made in Japan, while SanDisk is made in China. Hagiwara & Toshiba 256MB CF is also much cheaper at $68 compared to SanDisk which is $85. Warranty for Hagiwara is also longer (lifetime "1 for 1" warranty) while Toshiba & SanDisk have the same 1 year warranty. Given these reasons, most of our customers prefer Hagiwara & Toshiba over SanDisk, which is the reason why we stock more of the former. We are still able to get SanDisk but on indent basis.
Once again I apologise for your time and money wasted in travelling down to our. I offer to deliver the SanDisk 256MB CF (at my initial offer price of $68) to you. I hope that your kind self can give us another chance to prove that EastGear does have good service.
Please PM, email or call me to arrange for a suitable delivery time and location.

Virgo said:Hi Daniel,
Thanx for the recommendation. However, you may like to note that some models, if not all of Canon's camera may not be able to work well with Hagiwara compact flashes, even if they're cheaper and of a better built.
I've personally experienced this with my Canon G3, which 'hanged' my camera. The Sandisk ones worked well with no problems. I'm not saying that all cameras will not work with Hagiwaras, but this is my experience. I've also met the Canon sales guy, which happened to be in the shop when I returned for an exchange to Sandisk. He mentioned that Hagiwara is not built to the standard, which is invented by Sandisk.
Since I changed to the Sandisk CFs, no problem from there onwards.

Would anyone from eastgear like to comment?
headlesschook said:I am aware that the 4 pin socket does not provide power, which is why i asked specifically whether the card reader would work off a 4 pin firewire port.

EastGear said:Hi,
The Firewire Card Reader will only work with the 6-6 pin cable (one of which is provided with the reader). We apologise for any miscommunication of the product features. You can return the product to our shop for a full refund any time.
Thanks and regards.
