What are the differences between those 3 versions of the microdrive? Any reason I shouldn't get the 41b or 42b? I have a bid group of snipes set up on several (planning to buy one) and I will be using the one I get to shoot movies at 640x480 fine 30fps on my Canon PowerShot S1 IS.
I do know not to touch the 44C. I've checked with the sellers whose items I'm bidding on prior to setting it up, and they all say 43B, 42B, or 41B, and a few also advertise it in their item description or give a picture of it. One of the auctions ends in about 45 minutes and is a 41B model. Is there any reason I should unsnipe it? |

I know about that one. I'd like something I can use over July 4th weekend.
Let's see.... Q3 starts 07-01-2004, right? Would I be able to buy one by then, or at the latest 07-02 maybe? |

I'm not surprised.
Do you think $250 including shipping is a decent price for the 4GB microdrive from Hitachi? btw I was slightly outbid on that first auction I had mentioned earlier, but there are still several more coming up.... Oh, and what happened to the squirrel? btw the pic in my avatar was taken with an A70 about a year ago. Also how do I get something like this into my S1 IS or at least use this or something similar in a portable photo storage device with an LCD screen for less than 1/4 the price of the hard disk? (btw this drive is possibly failing so I may need to send it in for warranty repair/replacement, or splurge on a replacement drive) ![]() |

link is broken...
![]() Anyone have any suggestions on how to educate the seller with this item? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWA:IT I emailed him asking what it was and he told me it was a 44C. There had been a buy-it-now price of $200 but someone put in a bid and took off the buy-it-now. |
