From 0 refs to camera at my door in 11 days. Amazing.

Not to be outdone, OC also decided to pay me for PVPs and DS.

Not a bad day at all cool

Well, except for OC stiffing me $25, which I am inquiring about.

DS is down to $125 I believe, I remember JUNIOR bitching about it...

Obviously, but when I completed the requirements and placed my order, it was $150. An ex post facto application of the price change is bullshit, they owe me $25.

Wow, congrats. That is impressive. It's finally getting back to the old days when the brag bags were filled with people getting huge paypals.

Maybe he didn't get any fee's because the sender payed for them or something? Mass payout or something?

how did you get all your refs to sign up and green fast enough to get the camera after only 11 days?

jlaw

27-06-2005 19:18:07

Well, the T7 is gone already )

Took it to a retail store and exchanged it for store credit. I got a Canon SD400, a 512mb high-speed SD card, and a Canon leather case, even exchange. Awesome.

As far as completing the site so quickly... I only got people to sign up who could do instants.

yeah canon cameras are the shit! although i thought canon cameras only took CF cards.

hmm.

Well, OC is ok in my book right now. They responded promptly to my email and told me that I am indeed entitled to the $25 difference, and that they will be sending it on Thursday.

The new Canons use SD. I did a lot of research on the Sony and read a ton of owner reviews, looked at sample images, etc. For a $500 camera I wasn't impressed, and the night pictures were awful. The menus are cryptic too. Finally, the fact that the LCD is on the RIGHT side of the camera sealed the deal for me, and back it went.

the right side? why the fuck is it on the right side?

Yah, that's kinda weird. I have the Cannon from prizecube and it works great.

my canon DSLR got water damage and is now fucked, and is non-repairable (cost me $1100) so i think ill go for freedigitalcameras next and get the canon.

anyone else have a timeline thats not as quick as jlaw's?

jlaw

28-06-2005 13:40:08

The Canon that freedigitalcameras has is the S500, which is an older model. If they offered the SD series it'd be worth it, but otherwise I suggest getting the T7 (more expensive) and exchanging it.

The T7 has the LCD on the right side because it's so thin. To allow them to put a 3x optical zoom lens in such a thin body, they had to move the LCD.

28-06-2005 16:33:21
