so i'm asking if anyone to make me one. i payed around that much for it, for the extra battery, memory card, and carrying case.
i've barely used this camera, so it's practically brand new. |
while i do understand that and i am totally for helping a TA out but i am also someone who goes for the best for my money. lets just assume that you get the sd800 for 400 retail, so you pay 430 for the camera, 2 extra batteries for $5 off ebay (i did this), and a 4gb SDHC class 6 memory card off pricewatch for 115. your at the same place pretty much and a much better camera. also the sd700, sd800, and sd900 support larger memory cards than 2gb which right now seems like no big deal but later when cameras improve and pretty much require SDHC it will be an advantage since you already have that media. just another angle is all. check your pms |

I was considering purchasing an extra battery through ebay for my SD630, but I just wasn't sure how well those after market batteries work. Do you have any problems with the ones you got off ebay? |

well to be quite honest i bought them so that i wouldnt run out for GIANT MAXIMUS. the ORIGINAL battery NEVER died once. i wasnt the one using it (sweetcandy-girl was). we used it like 2-3 weeks earlier and it didnt die once. and we were out for 2 days of clubbing. but this is an sd800 not an sd630. they did something that the battery doesnt die so fast on the upper end ones. dunno what but yeah. so i have yet to use the ebay batteries but ill use it tomorrow and let ya know. |

No problem, I was born to shop...one of my biggest passions after music! :D Easiest way to return the favor is to put your pics up here on TA so we can all see em! :) |

in2muzikk [or anyone else] ::: i've been looking at sony cams, but the review of the fuji in this thread is making me reconsider. if you don't mind -- how's the audio? i've been mostly happy with my canon, but audio taken inside clubs has been nothing short of horrendous. the bass is brutal...
long battery life's another sticking point, considering i shoot 200-300 pics for an average-length event. the fuji's lasts approx two days, you said?! |
