Iomega Fotoshow

[humbug]

Anyone interested to buy this brand new, go to Alan Photo. its almost half the price that shops in Funan are selling. was quoted $399 in funan, got it at alan photo for only $210. even cheaper than a 250 external zip drive.

i went there today and they told me it is 350 .. @_@

 

[humbug]

wah dont tell me they misquote the price for me. cannot be, as three different sale person quoted the same @ $220 but manage to lower it to $210.

 

[ahbao]

maybe that is new stock ..

or if you happen to be there pls ask again ..

 

[humbug]

will do.

 

[chaotic]

how expensive are the zip disks to make this deal worthwhile?

 

[ahbao]

i am considering fotoshow and imagetank.

imagetank could take a 10gb hardisk and fotoshow can take 250mb per zip disk. Since I just need 3-4 zip disk and could use the fotoshow as a zip drive, I am interest to get a fotoshow than imagetank.

imagetank is good if I have the budget . .

I was just thinking that if the cost of the iomega fotoshow + 4 zip disk is almost the price of a 1 gig microdrive... doesn't it make more sense to use a 1 gig microdrive instead?

guess i'm very satisfied with the product as it do serve a few purpose. One thing for sure, i need not put it aside after a trip as it can still function as an ordinary external Zip drive and also for display of photos on TV screen. Considering the price of $210, it is much cheaper than a normal external 250 Zip drive. guess i got it at a bargain price with a year local warranty.

[humbug]
