Whoops! was Kodak will be Canon … the photographer’s lament
My wonderful digital camera still works after 9 years, but the memory card went blonky. I of course immediately tried to buy another.
They no longer make this card. What a waste to have a great camera for which you can’t buy the “film.” Disgraceful waste, I say.
I loved this camera so much I bought stock in the company. Now I won’t buy another camera from them. I will probably also sell the stock.
So it’s off to the store to buy a new camera, which because I am in Italy will be outdated technology for more than the original new release suggested retail. I guess Italians don’t care enough to put up a stink. I looked at UK sites and the prices there were even worse. UK prices on the same camera were double the US price.
But these days you can’t write a food blog without a camera.
Look on eBay, you may be able to find a card there.
if i were coming this month, i would bring you a camera!
I am off to eBay to see. I went to the shop with the best listed price, and they didn\’t have the camera. So I went to another and they had it for almost double. I\’ve ended by ordering it online to be picked up at a local shop Wednesday afternoon.
Can\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’t you order a camera from a company site? E-bay is a good place, too. Let the camera company know you are looking for card, and how unhappy you are that it isn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’t available. Customers do have clout. Of course, they would rather sell a new camera, but it does not hurt to complain.
I just got a new Sony. Tiny, fits in my purse, is 7.2 megapix. I really like it. Model W55.
I ordered a Canon after research on review pages. I wanted really good macro at popular prices.
Last time there was a problem I wrote Kodak and told them how angry I was that they’d completely stopped all support (I needed an online software upgrade) after only 3 years. I said I owned stock because I like the camera so well, and they ought to be trumpeting that their cameras held up for years and years when others went down long before, not cutting customers off at the knees.
The answer was: stuff it. I’ve had similar answers from Microsoft.
I think you are unfair to Italy when you say:”because I am in Italy will be outdated technology for more than the original new release suggested retail”. I have bought all my cameras here for really good prices and definitely not outdated stuff, you just need to know where to look!
Perhaps, Ilva, but I did due diligence. I first used review sites to find out which brands and models would do what I needed, and what they sold for.
Then I used price comparison sites in Italy to find out who sold what for what price. Considering the 40% difference between the dollar and the euro, Italian prices were shockingly high. British prices were even higher. And the latest models weren’t even available.
Unfortunately the same thing happened when I had to buy a computer. Even from Dell site itself, the recommended technologies in the US were not available here.
