I can only report my own experience: I have at least half a dozon Transcend SDHC cards, used in three different cameras over the past 3 years or so. Never had any failures.

Memory cards are getting cheap, so you better get a better brand just in case.

And my experience - I've purchased like 5 of them in the last year, 1 of them (8 GB) failed after a few weeks, all pictures/videos lost. So many people complain here the same. They have a big percentage of lemons. If you do buy one of these, be sure to backup the entire card as often as possible - at least on a daily basis, or whenever you take new photos/videos.I have also been using for so many years Sandisk, and never had a problem with them. They are a bit more expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Same feeling here. I have never seen a product with 93 5-star reviews and only 1 one negative, 1-star. Nothing in-between. Seriously??? Plus a number of people have mainly Ozeri reviews.Plus all these reviews are extremely frequent: one every few days. What are the chances???

I got mine T2i someplace else because Amazon was out, but they included a Transcend 8gb class 10 and I could only get 9 pictures on continuous before it slowed down. I ordered and received a Sandisk Extreme III class 10 4g from Amazon and now I can do over 40 continous(didn't bother to figure out if there is a number bigger). So if your using continuous and need get lots of frames go with the Sandisk Extreme III, for single frame anything will work.

I didn't get mine, I contacted Amazon over it, they claimed they had no idea what I was talking about. AMD just shifted the blame back to Amazon. If it's a consideration in your price, don't count on it. It's still a good card but I'm disappointed in Amazon in not following through with the listing and AMD in just shifting the blame.

Tech Geek, appreciate your view. How is SR11 working for you ? Junior Piquito, I noticed that AbesOfMaine is selling it for 730 (plus free bag). I've been following prices on various web sites for 4-5 weeks now. At one point, Amazon.com dropped to 790. I don't know why it shot back up. I've never bought anything from AbesOfMaine before and have had a wonderful experience with Amazon.com shipping and customer service so far. I am going to wait out another week and if it doesn't drop, will buy it from the other place. I hope amazon can offer competitive price.

I'm not sure if it's just this edition (repeated as people may like the 2008 edition) or if this is old stock but I ordered this exact item last year for Christmas and everyone loved it. We were trying each one to the point of overload. It's been a while now so I don't remember if the packaging matched this or not. Basically I guess I'm saying that the coffee was a good variety (most of them) and everyone enjoyed them, but I couldn't tell you what the expiration date is/was. The current one is cheaper and here: http://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Masters-Twelve-Coffees-Christmas/dp/B009LEI1UM/ref=pd_sim_gro_9

My response:Dear CS professional,Can you please check your facts before responding? The promotions were offered by Amazon and whats more the promotions even indicated the current market price to indicate how big a discount was on offer!Also, by saying "There are several million items listed on our website, this makes it impossible for us to check the price of every item" are you implying that Amazon does not have internal controls on whats on its website and thereby everything on your website is unreliable? Amazon and its CS team need to get your act together. My response:Dear CS professional,Can you please check your facts before responding?

Hi, I'm a part of the Fluenz team. Thanks for taking an interest in our software and for your concern over Amazon remaining a valuable place for people looking to get objective reviews. We've been selling at Amazon for about a year and a half now. Over the course of that time, Amazon has contacted thousands of our users directly, and hundreds of them have responded by posting Seller Reviews. I bring this up because the Seller Reviews--4.8 stars from nearly 300 people--mirror the general feelings of the product reviews. There are a few negative ones in there (one person hated that he had to use the DVD, another experienced a shipping mistake, others had some usability issues), but overall they're very positive. And the only way anyone can submit a Seller Review is if they actually buy a Fluenz program at Amazon, and Amazon contacts them directly asking for their comments. Of course all the reviews on our product pages are real, but I think pointing you to these Seller Reviews is the easiest way to show this. You can read these reviews here:
1278728
The only reviews I pay attention to are 1) Verified buyers or 2) Those who very obviously have bought the product and are reviewing it here for benefit of other users. If there is a questionable review, just check the "reviewer ranking" to see how often they review on Amazon. I usually tend to pay more attention to the top 10k reviewers (if someone is in the 15 million area and their review fishy... you can probably ignore them for the time being.) ; )

the last time I bought this on amazon was 6 months ago but it was NOT the energy version it was just max. If you order it here and they send you a different version make them resend the correct. Netrush is who the seller was when I bought it on Amazon. Make sure you buy it from a seller with a good feedback rating. I can't recall what the expiration date on it was but it hadn't expired and wasn't expiring soon either. I am buying this now at Costco as the price was about the same. Although last time I went they only had the energy version (which I bought). I can't tell the difference but would prefer the non-energy version too. the last time I bought this on amazon was 6 months ago but it was NOT the energy version it was just max.

I contacted The First Years, and here is a portion of their response:"I can assure you that our Products have met and exceed all safety standards and regulations and this is an incorrect warning posted on Amazon. We have been in contact with them and will be removing the warning on this product from the website."Although the statement about "safety standards and regulations" is meaningless, they do directly say that Amazon is in error. Since Amazon has a history of this problem with some baby products, I'm pretty confident that The First Years is correct and telling the truth.

I think all the reviews and the fact they are posted answeres your question without your asking. You can make up your own mind. As with any company that has a reseller base why would Amazon want to antagonize their resellers? I am sure many have ignored your qustion as just not important. I thought you should read an answer from someone with an honest prospective who has never had your thought. Many of the pictures and videos are posted by customers.You seem to be focused on a picture of which you may not be familiar with its source. I rely on the revies more than what things look like.

They're even jumping on other products and trying to hijack the review section. They've tried to take over the top spot on P90X3 twice (unsuccessfully so far, but they've certainly got us dug in tight over there). They managed to displace the top review that had held its ground on a fitness app for almost 3 years. And right around 150 is the magic number they seem to be able to pull. Amazon has been made aware of this and are looking into it. After their second attack on P90X3 Amazon has been corresponding with us more and are taking the more seriously than other complaints I've had with campaign voting. While I can't say for sure, hopefully there are some conclusions to be drawn here. They're even jumping on other products and trying to hijack the review section.

Guys, if it's a loss-leader...do you really want to fight the crowds for the 4 units they'll have on the shelf? And Amazon will match it -- right after chickens grow lips, pigs fly, hell freezes over...well, you get the point. ;) No reason for Amazon to drop the price when it's holding its value at almost $400. Since the Transformer 2 is listed at $499 (32GB) and $599 (64GB) I also don't see a dent in the T1 price anytime soon. Even the Slider in the upper $400s hasn't hurt the T1. Maybe after BF...EDIT: Sorry, let me be clear...I'm definitely ROOTING for a BF sale or a price drop.

Ordered on Jan 12 2015. Same here. Thats not fair. People gave it rave reviews because of the added value and now they stopped giving these. This is not a fair marketing tactic. I like the product, but it is pricy and w/o these additional items I feel ripped off! Sigh!

If Amazon doesn't start to police the gaming of their reviewing system (which is rampant, IMHO) being done by authors and third party sellers, they may as well stop with the reviews. I've been burned a couple of times by products that have 5 star reviews that ended up in my trash bin upon delivery. Sure, there are good 3rd party sellers out there, but how can I tell the good from the bad? I'm done with 3rd party sellers. It's either Amazon selling it or I don't buy it.
