Very informative about the whole lineup of SD and different types of SD cards. Explains really well what EVERYTHING is about all types of SD cards, and let me know what speed ratings to expect with microSD cards, since microSD are rated by class and not X factor of speed (50x 100x, etc) This is just a cool site to learn about new capabilities and the direction of the technology.

Well, I've shopped at this website for years for computer hardware. It is a collection of all kinds of sellers competing in one place, along with seller ratings, and almost always having the best price for computer hardware. The prices are in a very well formatted and shopping takes very little time because all the information you need is quickly and conviniently available. Ebay occasionally has the lucky auction, but pricewatch can't be beat with their prices the rest of the time because of the competition there.

Wolf Camera, good until you need quality tech support.. and a discount - Well, I ordered a Canon EOS 5D Mark II the second week of December, well aware that it would be backordered for a couple months. I ordered because my Paypal credit card deducts %5 of all my purchases till this April, and Wolf takes Paypal. This was a mistake.

Apparently, Wolf Camera tech support does not understand much when it comes to payment issues, and I'd hate to call them about a deep technical problem. They have outsourced all their tech support to India, to people who know nothing of the cameras or the workarounds of the website other than probably a sheet that gives them the specs, but not real practical advice.

I paid in full for it VIA Paypal, and after the new year, I got a call EVERY DAY, saying my Paypal payment expired. Literally every day, from India. However, the Paypal website said the payment did not expire till MARCH. 2 months inaccurate from tech support, and they simply do not understand that the payment is still valid. Literally 20 or more times now I have responded to their emails and even to one certain person VIA their tech support email and they still do not acknowledge or give thought to the situation, at all.

So I cancelled the payment last week and found a package on ebay for $75 less than wolfcamera and had items included with it, plus the %5 discount with my Paypal credit card. (thats $135)

I imagine Wolf is fine, as long as you don't have technical issues, and are willing to pay too much. (Unless theyve really changed their price marketing as of January 25 2009)

But that just makes me sad they've outsourced their own tech support to people who have only limited knowledge of any of this stuff.

Boo to Wolf Camera.
