Photo has an 'I' meaning its a part of UHS Class 1 range. Must mean this a more budget middle range consumer version of the micro extreme for that don't need 30Mb/s speeds. So tradeoff of speed for lower cost.

Also real Sandisk cards have the 'class' printed on 2nd row as compared to fakes have it on the top row near the contacts. So these must be real unless they started forging that too in which case the only way to ensure it's real is to personally test it.

Can anyone verify this supplier.
Seems very new, ABN obtained in Dec 2011, Site seems more recent than that.

  I can verify. They have a pretty good reputation on OzB.
  
  See their prevous deals:
  http://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/70031/nodes
  
  They are also an eBay seller (http://myworld.ebay.com.au/digital_mall/). I guess they just recently decided to start selling from their own website as well.

I hope it doesn't end up in dispute via Paypal due whatever reasons.

I decided to bite. Purchased 2.

I was very skeptical about this H special edition since there's no info about it anywhere, and the packaging looks very plain for a special edition. But I trust Francesca, so I went for it.

Will be running tests on h2testw though.
apu on 04/05/2012 - 16:02

Just curious - why hasn't this deal sold out yet?

The supposed limited stock quantities are looking a bit suspect….

The original 500 sold in 1 hour but now there seems to be unlimited supply?
- camelgrass on 04/05/2012 - 16:11
  
  See my comment above:
  http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/69283?page=2#comment-858447
  
  BTW, original quantity took far more than an hour to sell out.
- lostn on 04/05/2012 - 16:18
  
  +1
  
  The supply isn't unlimited. But the demand isn't unlimited either… The first 500 sold out faster than the next 300 because probably everyone who wanted one got it already, and less than 800 people want one (which is still a big amount). If the demand was in the thousands and not the hundreds, she might have ordered more.
  
  Same is true of movies releasing in theatres. It always does best in the first week. After that it dies down because most people who want to see it see it early.
  
  That's my guess.
  - camelgrass on 04/05/2012 - 16:31
    
    Supplies may be in fact unlimited. The OP added extra stock quantities several times.
    
    This deal was posted after 5pm yesterday when most people had already left work. Many of those people would only check OzB again the next day.
    
    I think the plan in the first place was to release quantities bit by bit to expedite sales as I previously mentioned. It also seems strange to call your supplier at 9pm — normally they wouldn't be available at that time of night.
    
    But we're all just guessing here. It's nothing unusual for retailers to claim "LIMITED STOCK" when we all know it's BS.

      Supplier in China?
    - grab_ur_freebies on 04/05/2012 - 21:54
      
      Rep may not have 'stock in hand' & has to order more from local AU supplier/wholesaler. So essentially you could say its unlimited stock as 'factory—>supplier—>reseller—>consumer'
    - jeanene on 04/05/2012 - 21:58
      
      Or simply that they didn't know what the demand would be so played it safe and only got a few hundred in initial stock. When demand proved better than expected placed another order and so on. Makes a lot more sense than ordering a thousand but only selling 200.
- Store Repfrancesca2148 @ MemoryCity on 04/05/2012 - 18:57
  
  hi apu,
  
  Qty sold as of 6pm over 2K units, i ordered in extra 2K arriving next Monday to Sydney.
  Our supplier is based in QLD, a local supplier not from china or hk.
  So be rest assure that all the orders will be dispatched latest by Monday evening or Tuesday morning.
  Some of the earlier orders has been dispatched today, will update the status soon.
  There's still about few hundred units available which i believe it will sold off soon.

    Wow, 4000 clicks on this deal and 2000 items sold — basically 1 in 2 clicks purchased the deal.
    
    Just as I thought, basically unlimited stock available in the first place.
    - lostn on 04/05/2012 - 21:59
      
      Maybe she just didn't want to risk overstocking so ordered a few hundred to begin with, and then let sales take it from there. Ended up underestimating the demand (which is better than overestimating it and being left with stock you can't move) and ordered more. I don't think anything unsavory is going on here.
      
      Another 2K units is a big order though.
      
      But what difference does it make how much supply there is? At this price, I doubt it would sell any cheaper regardless of how much there is. She'll only order enough to meet demand and won't be fireselling the rest.
      
      My only concern is whether the stock is genuine or not. But I'll take her word at face value until I see them for myself.
    - camelgrass on 04/05/2012 - 22:10
      
      But it still says "500pcs Available" in title and as such the purchaser is forced to make a purchase decision based on misleading information.

      Big order maybe because these are limited ed. as Rep noted earlier? Demand would remain steady until sold out after going out of production.

      Hey I and many other shared this deal on Facebook and elsewhere,
      I know at least 3 of my friends who bought this who are not on ozbargain but used this code and bought it because of the original info here
      
      So numbers don't exactly work like that , Many many people bought more than 1 including me,
      
      And finally so what if the retailer said 500 initially, he has made it clear he ordered more stock along the way. If you don't want it move on, or if you can find it cheaper neg it with a proper reason. stop being so bitchy without a reason.
    - camelgrass on 05/05/2012 - 18:12
      
      Thanks, you make some very good points. Still, that kind of click-through rate is rarely seen on OzB.
      
      I'm sorry that you see some of our (my) comments as being "bitchy". I can't see it myself and it certainly wasn't intended that way. Maybe you're being a bit harsh don't you think? Looking back through my comments I fail to see where I made any rude or disparaging commentary.
      
      Many people rushed their purchase decision at the time based on claimed stock availability figures. There is a massive discrepancy between 500pcs and ~5000pcs. I stand by my assertion that the title should have been updated much earlier to reflect that.
    - dealman on 07/05/2012 - 11:27
      
      +2
      
      Sorry if I was too hard on you but my position on the deal is : this is a good deal, irrespective of the quantity available.
      I don't know if the figures were true or not and there is noreal way to find out the truth,
      
      So the discussion should be limited to if the deal @ the price is a good one or not ?
      
      Some of the criticism and skepticism that I see over here makes me wonder If we are turning into America ? There is far too much bickering that goes on in the comments that imho I'd like seen a bit toned down.
      
      Any criticism should be of the deal itself, yes we all know what the fluroscent "SALE" sign means in shop windows, think of this as something like that.

Just testing the micro SD card + adapter now

speed seems good, can record more than 37seconds straight of full HD @ 25fps with less than 1 second writing lag at the end of the recording period.

i have an issue however, when i put it into my computer via the sd adapter, it keeps saying "write protected" blah blah. ive tried changing the sd card lock on the side, but this doesnt help. it can record from my dslr via the sd adapter no worries, but everytime i try to write onto it from my computer, doesnt work.

Received my 2 today and have the same problem with the 'write protected' Sandisk adapters.
Appears the Sandisk adapters slide lock won't stay in the unlocked position when you insert them into whatever
device you are using.
I tried both Sandisk adapters on a cheap USB to SD adapter and in my Lumix camera and both goto the locked position.
Have to put a piece of tape around the lock slide to make it stay in the unlock position.
My old Kingston adapter works fine.

As for the Sandisk microSD cards I'm getting the same results as others have posted, so overall a great card for the price.

When I plug the card into a micro sd to usb adapter I get a "write protected error". Do I need to plug into the supplied sd adapter first then a sd to usb adapter or is there something wrong with my card?
- gilmour on 11/05/2012 - 15:28
  
  Read a few posts up
  
  Its only the SD adapter at fault the actual micro SD cards are fine.
  The SD adapters appear to be of questionable quality, the lock tab on the adapter
  slides to easily and wont stay in the unlocked position as you insert into the camera, phone,
  etc your using.
  Just do like Duff5000 has shown for the cleanest way and if you dont care about it being locked,
  otherwise use a small piece of tape to hold it in the unlocked position.

Very happy with card though.

You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.

I concur with you donkuok. My money was taken quick enough but every email I have sent to her has been ignored.

Not good business practice if you ask me.

  Hi Skram,
  
  I already shipped out all the goods last Wednesday, what is your email address?
  Which email address did you sent to?
  I usually response within 12-24hours after receiving it.
  
  Let me know your order #
  Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
  
  Thanks

  Ok..I just received it today but with the adaptor it keeps saying the card is write protected.

    There is a lock on the side of the card. Move it from the lock position or the card will be write protected. If it keeps moving back to locked when you insert it follow my post up about 10 up from here.

Hi All,

I contacted my supplier on the SD adapter issue, there are higher chances of getting the write protect problem with this batch of SD adapter.
Possibly 1 out of 10 will get that problem, please contact me via email / live chat.
I back ordered some spare SD adapters in, if any of you that encounter the "write protect" problem and would like to have one please drop an email i will try to arrange that for you.
When i have the spare ones, i will be selling individual SD adapters on the website for $1.5 + Free Delivery, as as service to all of you.

Cheers

I have received the 16GB MicroSD card.
However, it automatically pops up with a format window when I plug it in to my Windows 7 PC
Only capacity could be chosen is only 30MB. Then tried to format it but it failed.
Then I tried format the card using SD Formatter 3.1 but still failed.
Not using the bundled adapter so just the card itself.
Would you please advise ASAP ?
