DELKIN e-FILM UDMA PRO CARDS
| |
As most of you know, I have used Delkin e-Film Pro Compact Flash Cards
for more than 5 years now and have found them to be fast and
dependable. I have been using the Delkin the 2gb, 4gb and 8gb cards
exclusively now for more than four years and have experienced only one card failure, that
with a very old 2gb card. Delkin promptly replaced the
card. I have not had a single 4gb or 8 gb card go bad ever. Do remember that I take tens of thousands of images in a given
year. We have joined with Delkin to ensure that we can offer you the
great e-Film Pro Cards at very low prices in any quantity that you might
need. Note: Delkin cards may not be compatible with
some Minolta
cameras.
2gb Delkin
e-film Pro Card: $46.48
4gb Delkin e-film Pro Card: $79.94
8gb Delkin
e-film Pro Card: $146.94
16gb Delkin
e-film Pro Card: $294.94
Delkin’s

DELKIN RECHARGEABLE AA BATTERIES AND UNIVERSAL CHARGER
As Linda
Robbins’ High Speed Flash Hummingbird Guide is (finally) nearing
completion, we are beginning to add the products that folks will
need. Here are two great products for folks using either or both
BP 511 batteries in their cameras or AA batteries in a single
external flash unit for general bird and nature photography.
If you use four
AA batteries in your flash and discard them after use you get to
spend another $8.00 or so for four more quite often. Switching to
rechargeable AA batteries is dozens of times less expensive over
the course of a year or two of photography and in addition is
much, much kinder to the environment. Delkin Extended Power
Rechargeable AA Batteries are top-rated at 2900mAh. Delkin
understands that purchasing high quality batteries for your
equipment is important to you, and therefore, they hold themselves
to the highest standards of manufacture, service, and
professionalism. Working only with highest grade materials to
prevent short circuiting and to maintain a safe and accurate
charge, these batteries are crafted with your safety and the
safety of your flashes in mind. And all Delkin Power batteries
undergo rigorous quality testing before they are sent out to the
consumer. Delkin Extended Power Rechargeable 2900 mAh AA
Batteries come with a limited 2 year warranty and are 100%
compatible with anything that takes AA batteries.
You can save a
ton of money by ordering your Delkin Extended Power Rechargeable
2900 mAh AA Batteries right now from BIRDS AS ART. I have been
using these batteries for my hummingbird photography for more than
a year and have found them to be both powerful and 100% reliable.
Delkin 2900 mAh
AA Rechargeable Batteries/four pack: $14.99 each plus $4.00
shipping per order in the
U.S.
(Compatible with all Nickel Metal Hydride AA chargers.)
After having
three out of four Ansmann AA battery chargers (two different
models) fail within four months of purchase I decided to try the
Delkin Universal Charger with AA Battery Plates. You purchase
the charger and two AA battery charging plates and you are able to
charge 8 batteries quickly and efficiently. If you use a Canon
camera that uses BP-511 batteries you can purchase two plates for
these batteries and charge them two at a time.
Delkin Universal
Charger: $52.99 plus $7.00 shipping to US addresses.
AA plate (one in
a pack): $9.99 each plus free shipping with the purchase of a
Delkin Universal Charger.
BP511 plates (2
in a pack): $4.99 plus free shipping with the purchase of a
Delkin Universal Charger.

Delkin Universal Charger with two AA Battery Plates charging eight
2900 mAh AA batteries at once. Below: top view of the same.

Discontinued
NP-E3 Batteries
We are now offering a quality replacement battery that fits all
of the Canon professional digital camera bodies (EOS 1D, 1D Mark
II, 1Ds, and 1Ds Mark II) for the lowest price that I can find
on the web or anywhere else: $59.98 (See more on pricing and
shipping below). These 2200 mAh batteries outperform the
original batteries (1600 mAh) and cost $40 less. Beware of
the latest "improved" Black Diamond batteries that sell for
$29.99. Most have huge problems fitting into the camera battery
compartments... Costs:
One battery: $59.98 plus $8.00 shipping and handling via US
Priority Mail or UPS Ground= $67.98
Two batteries: $127.96. Three batteries: $187.94 Four batteries:
$247.92

Delkin
CardBus 32 Adapter UDMA
If you have an older computer with a PCMCIA
slot, this is the reader that you need.
Now, faster than ever, this UDMA enabled CF
card reader achieves transfer speeds over 45 MB/sec. (when used with the new UDMA cards)
The incredible CardBus 32 Adapter, the world's fastest card reader, was sold out within days of its introduction in November 2003.
When I first heard of this product, I was quite skeptical: downloads to your laptop in one-quarter of the time than it took with a PCMCIA card reader???
Then I tried one and was amazed. Downloads that had been taking me 10-12 minutes with a PCMCIA card reader now took less than 3 minutes even when the laptop was not plugged in, and closer to 2 minutes when it was plugged in. I can download my images at lunch while waiting for service and placing orders and be editing the images and sharing them with the IPT groups while waiting for the food to come! (Note: high transfer speeds guaranteed only with premium memory cards such as e-film Pro cards.)
The use of a card reader rather than an external USB or FireWire device is more elegant as there is nothing to plug in or two carry on your travels as the reader remains in the PCMCIA slot. Serious photographers on long or overseas trips will wish to have a back-up system in place should their primary system fail.
Please read the specs below before ordering:
The BusCard 32 Adapter is for PC and Mac users.
1: CD Rom or internet connection for driver installation.
2:
32-bit CardBus Type II (PCMCIA) Slot--standard on most post-1998 laptops.
We are pleased to offer the Delkin CardBus 32 Adapter for $59.99 plus $3.00 shipping = $62.99. Shipping will be by first class mail/delivery confirm. Florida residents please add 7% sales tax for a total of $69.19. Please make all checks out to "Arthur Morris" and send to the address below.

Delkin Fire Wire 400/800 UDMA Compact Flash Reader
NEW:
I ran across someone who was downloading their images directly from their Nikon camera because their Mac “did not have any slots.” Yikes! It was taking them more than 45 minutes to download a single 8gb card. I suggested a Delkin Fire Wire 400/800 UDMA Compact Flash Reader and bingo, downloading times were reduced almost 90%. (Transfer speed of over 45 mbs with UDMA cards. Mac or PC. Fire Wire 400 & 800 compatible.) As the transfer speeds for this reader
are 50% higher than for the Express Card 54 that I am currently using I plan on bringing one of the Fire Wire 400/800 UDMA Compact Flash Readers to
San Diego and Bosque and will report back in early December.
Each of the above adapters is available from BAA for $59.99 plus $3.00 shipping = $62.99.
Florida residents please add 7% sales tax for a total of $67.19. To
Canada please add $5 and for overseas orders, the shipping will be $9. Paypal, credit card orders by phone (863-692-0906), and checks made out to “Arthur Morris”
are all wonderful.
Enables you to see and inspect your camera’s sensor magnified, with focused ultra bright light. This patent-pending Delkin exclusive
fits all digital SLR cameras with no adapter.
The safest thing you can do is NOT clean your sensor if it doesn’t need it. Find out with SensorScope. One (1) SensorScope and two (2) CR2025 batteries included.

SENSOR SCOPE ALONE AVAILABLE
About 30 seconds after I first looked through a SensorScope, I knew that the ideal situation would be for us to be able to sell the SensorScope alone, rather than as part of a kit. I immediately called the great folks at Delkin, Martin Wood and Alan Parry. They agreed to make that happen and we should be receiving our first shipment of SensorScopes this week.
If you are using a Lens Pen with success as so many thousands are, but are tired of making test images to determine whether or not your sensor is clean, then you cannot live without a SensorScope, and now that it is priced to be sold as a stand-alone item, you can and should order one ASAP. With a SensorScope in hand, it takes an average of about one minute to clean the sensor of my Canon EOS 1D MII, and I have cleaned the sensors of all other Canon cameras (as well as a few Nikon cameras) with equal success. In the past, when I had to make test image after test image, it took me anywhere from five to thirty or more minutes to clean a sensor. And with a SensorScope, you never have to clean your sensor when it is clean to start with, you can often get it perfectly clean, and when you do need to use your Lens Pen, you can clean only the small area with the dust spot. Since you will know exactly where the dust speck is, you can often remove it with a simple, well-placed flick of the Lens Pen…
You can order a SensorScope today for only $79.98 plus $7.00 shipping and handling in the
Until further notice - $59.98 plus $7.00 shipping
US. The total is $66.98. Florida residents please add 7% sales tax to the cost of the item only: ($92.58 total). Overseas customers please e-mail your complete ship-to address to receive a shipping quote. Paypal is quite convenient. You can call us at 863-692-0906 with credit card in hand, or send a check for the correct amount made out to “Arthur Morris” to us as follows: Arthur Morris/BIRDS AS ART, PO Box 7245, 4041 Granada Drive, Indian Lake Estates, FL 33855.

From Delkin:
The World's Most Reliable CD.
Delkin, manufacturer of quality eFilm memory cards and other innovative
products, recently introduced the eFilm Archival Gold “300-Year” CD-R. eFilm
Archival Gold CD-R’s incorporate patented Phthalocyanine (thalo-sy-a-neen)
dye and a 24k gold reflective layer in every CD-R. The innovative materials
found in eFilm Archival Gold CD-R’s make them one of the most reliable
storage medium available. Typically CD-R’s are known to deteriorate quickly
due to ultra violet light, heat, and humidity. Using an accelerated aging
process to test the longevity of CD-R media, eFilm Archival Gold CD-R’s have
been shown to safely store your images for more than 300 years.
“Consumers are now taking more pictures than ever with digital cameras,”
explains Martin Wood, CEO of Delkin Devices, Inc. “Our research has
indicated that the number one reason consumers take digital images is to
preserve their precious memories. eFilm Archival Gold CD-R’s ensure that
your precious memories are safe for years to come.” The patented
Phthalocyanine dye is the most critical component of the CD-R because it is
where your data is stored. Your CD burner creates pits in the dye layer when
it burns a CD-R and your digital information is stored in these pits. The
Phthalocyanine dye reacts quicker to the writing laser than dyes found in
most CD-R’s on the market, thus making sharper pit edges and making your
CD-R easier to read by CD drives. Compared to Cyanine and Azo dyes found in
the majority of CD-R’s on the market, Phthalocyanine dye lasts significantly
longer when subjected to the harmful effects of UV light, heat, and
humidity. Gold is one of the most inert elements on earth and Delkin
incorporates 20¢ of 24k gold into every eFilm Archival Gold disc. Gold’s
inert characteristics prevent oxidation, a common cause of failure to most
CD-Rs. Along with the Phthalocyanine dye and gold reflective layer, eFilm
Archival Gold CD-R’s provide the most extreme protection for your digital
images from environmental degradation.
