haven't kept up with and don't have time to go through this rather long thread.
which is the best quality for decent price that we've found so far? still the globaldirect ones or an ebay seller? has anyone had first hand experience with any of these ebay ones and can provide a mini review or pics? thanks
So far it looks like none of them are actually OEM/Genuine. They do not come with a flash diffuser. even the GlobalDirect seller. You can either purchase it for 60-70 from China eBay seller or 80-100 from a USA eBay seller.
Globadirect has it for 95 bucks. The cheapest USA seller on eBay has it for 79.95 in Nevada but it says OEM (it's def. not). I recommend paying 5 cents more for the seller in NJ USA as this seller did not write OEM or Genuine and it seems to be more honest.
