I've always found the the UK was cheaper, but actually now that I live in Germany and the current exchange rate, you have to shop around really. I always check Amazon UK, FR and DE, and generally would check every european shop, whatever i buy really. This is special deal, usually the price is much more on Amazon FR.
That said I bought my KS-2 on Amazon France when it released (shipped to Germany for 6 euros), it was cheaper than anywhere else at the time - one just has to keep their eyes open... I think the deal on the KS-2 last week was much better than this one, the K50 is a good camera, but it's a 2 year old model if not older... but yes it's a good deal

it might be too late by the time you read this...

http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00XA0JC6A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_ti...

Ks2 + 18-50 WR + 55-300 WR for 619 euros (+7 euros shipping outside of France), that's about 450 quid for that bundle... i nearly bought one (but i already own one and am against speculating so i did not)

hope you get one!

that's what i think too.

i also found this charger, with no reviews: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lemix-DLi109-Charger-D-Li109-Battery/dp/B014L5W6NS/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1447336169&sr=8-9&keywords=D-Li109

but seems to be the right one, charging on USB... worth the risk?

thanks for the all the tips - that makes sense to keep the batteries on myself - i dont expect it to get too cold either - just under 0 at night.

I am going to Iceland end of May, because of its geographical position I would assume the UV are very strong at that time of year - so i would think the solar power to charge, although you are right it might uncharge at night!

thanks guys this is great - looks like the camcaddy thing is what i am after.

John - i have two batteries, the original and an inov8, the second being not very good in my experience.

I'm planning a potentially up to 10 day trip without power, somewhere cold (so batteries might not last) and i dont want to feel limited, especially if i start filming, which drags the battery crazy - nothing worse than having the red low battery showing up..!

hello,
I've done some research online and can't find any answers.
I would like to know if it's possible to use the USB power charger to charge the batteries of my KS2. I'm not sure about voltage compatibility etc - but also can't find any adapter type.
I'm planning on buying a solar charger, but it would be better if i can also use it to charge the camera batteries!
thx

i second that very happy with mine - better than the older version (which was already a bargain).
