Pros: The price is fantastic. I have used Kingston memory in other forms and have never had a problem. I ordered 2 sticks that were installed into a Dell Dual-Core XPS400. Increased the overall RAM to 3gb. As expected, great increase in performance from system. No problem when system booted up the first time after installing. Memory recognized and initiated without issue. Running Windows XP.

Cons: None so far. For the price, it's a great deal.

Overall Review: As usual, Newegg delivered quickly. Ordered late on a Friday and had at my front door on Tuesday. That's why I always come back. 5 star Newegg service.

Awesome - A Canon Standard

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

Pros: I've had this lens for over a year now without issue. Canon L series. Can't beat it. Canon glass is the best in the industry. I've been shooting Canon body and lenses since 1980. Lens is quality build. Fast f-stop for great higher speed indoor sports shots. Mounted on Canon 7D. Tack sharp. Super fast focus. Image stabilization is great when you have a slower shutter speed.

Cons: Heavy, but shows the quality build. Get a monopod or your arms will get a real workout by the end of the day.

Overall Review: As in other reviews, Newegg really needs to look at their shipping process. My box was really beat up and the packaging inside the box was less than adequate to protect such a high priced item. In May 2010, I just purchased the 7D with lens kit and the Canon 580 flash. Same issue. Box had been opened. You could easily see the cut marks in the tape. The 7D box had been opened and the battery and charger were taken. But again, the entire contents were POORLY packaged. I RMA'd the order and had them reship the 7D kit. Second time was much better. Newegg return process was seamless, but it cost me a weekend photo shot. Newegg... if you actually read these reviews, PLEASE review your shipping quality. When customers order thousands of dollars in high quality product, they expect to get it in tact, not in a box that is poorly protected and looks like it was used as a soccer ball in the warehouse.
