[Fwd: RE: Wolfvision Doc Cams] Laurie and Vince, Please see Mike's message below.  I can't believe the difference in  costs for the Samsung cameras.  We could buy lots of them for the price  of one Wolfvision. Carol -------- Original Message -------- Subject: 	RE: Wolfvision Doc Cams Date: 	Tue, 7 Feb 2006 08:52:46 -0500 From: 	Mike Wenhart  To: 	Carol Holloman  Carol, Yes, the Wolfvision are very expensive (especially those particular models). I am not a big fan of the Wolfvision for this reason.  Don't get me wrong, they are very good, but I think there are other models just as good for a fraction of the cost. Dickran Parunak, Classroom Technology Coordinator at NCSU, has standardized on a different model of Wolfvision in most cases.  However, I still think there is another make that is comparable for considerably less. My recommendation is the Samsung UF-80ST or UF-80DX.  Both are the same footprint, with the difference being some additional features that are included with the DX model (look at it as STandard and DeluXe).  My feedback has been the additional features on the DX model are beneficial to the education environment and the DX should be recommended in the schools. Your cost on the DX model is $2169. Your cost on the ST model is $1647. I have attached a specification sheet on this unit.   Please call me with any questions.  If you need a formal quote I can get that to you also. Thanks Carol.

Dr. Williams would like for you to quote a couple of other document cameras that are several thousand dollars cheaper than these two, if possible.  The Wolfvision ones apparently are highly rated by users but they seem to be out of our price range.  Can you recommend others that are of exellent quality but substantially cheaper?
