Well, found my answer.

Wandered around their site just for fun and now I have a question;

What's the difference between this on lensesnscam and this at London Drugs (besides the insane price difference, I mean)?

LOL - lensesnscam.com :

It is $449.99 obviously because it is "Professional" AND because it is an "SD card" disguised as a CF card. They are also generously doubling it from 2GB to 4GB and they are throwing in 5 Nigerian Lotto tickets of you order now. How they got a 0.17 / 10 rating, I'll never know. Must be trolls.

edit to fix slurred speech.

Even on drugs, the latter site knows what an SD card looks like.

Lol, you're right! I never really looked at the pic, just read their glowing description. Wow, it just gets worser and worser, doesn't it?

Okay, shall we compare to this one then?

Yep. I am going to see to it that their reseller rating drops to 0.16!

But you actually have to BUY to write a review :(

Duh! That's why I bought their SD(CF) card.

Lol, from you I'd believe it.

Beware! Sounds too good to be true. I'll stick with my 2x2GB SD(CF) card from my buddies at lenses and scams.

Hey, they just called me and said I would need a Canon 10D to use with that card. Fortunately they have one in stock for $1,499.99! And GET THIS - they offered to double it to a 20D for only $299 more! I'm all over that, baby!

eta; and at that price, you can buy them for all of us for Christmas! :D

Gotta love this one. "This Proffesional grade filter kit" must be really advanced for $350... you don't even need a thread size. I'm not sure if these filters are compatible with their $200 Canon 40D battery or $100 256MB low-speed CF card though.

They have impressive testimonials though:

LensesNmore.com is fantastic. I had been ordered lots of camera lens from them in the past. I trust them since I received the merchandises on time and all working great. Last time, I ordered a Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L IS len, it came with the putty color (grey??)not white like it has been in the past, so I was concern since that len is expensive and I called them. They said I could send it back and get a refund. I later found out, after searching on the wikipedia that the newer copies came with putty color not white. I never return the len since that len is incredible and I have great pics came out of that len. Overall, I like them very much and would buy camera equipments from them again and again.

I'm still trying to translate that one. Sorry, English is my first language, I have problems with any others.

eta; Wow, all their batteries are one-size-fits-all? Now THAT is impressive. Maybe I should take you up on that, Art.

This site is too funny. I clicked to buy one of the batteries and it suggests, as further "accessories to accompany your new purchase", a flash for Canon and a battery grip for Nikon. Sure, why not grab 'em both?

Wow. I obviously have seriously inferior CF cards. Could this be the reason I can't shoot well enough to please DPC? I suspect it is! I must go order one of their $500 cards, which they'll double for free! (Do I get two cards, or twice the size? If it's twice the size, will it still fit in the slot in my camera?)
