... they will stop you for ignoring red men in both Germany and Finland. Woe betide if you're on a bike. You *will* get a comment and it can mean you lose your car licence, too. The Germans will also complain if you're riding the wrong way down the path (you should be on the same side) and crossing on the pedestrian section is not OK if you then get knocked over - it's partly your fault.

from what I've read, I'd be using a K-x and not a K-7 at ISO800. I do not see any massive improvement on noise in the K7 over even the K10D.

I've played with both a K7 and Kx in the local store and I can see the noise at ISO800 on a K7. I can't see it on the kx. I'd stay where you are if it's that important.... or invest in good software.

£310 x 1.2 for VAT, add another 5% for duty (that's a guess...)

(310 + (310 x 0.05)) x 1.175 --> £382. Plus shipping. So that's 10% difference.

remember that extreme IIIs are no longer and they're now called something else. It's possible.....

you can't watch iPlayer over here, it doesn't work. Then they moved a lot of the cbeebies stuff to iPlayer, too... very irritating.

Any recommendations? We need something for one night - myself, my wife and our 8yr old - on 5th July. Round by Dungeness? Why not?
Doesn't have to be flash, just simple, clean, usable.

Suggestions welcomed

Thanks!

there's a decent deal on here at the moment on a panny 50"... but that's a bit big and it hasn't got VGA input.

Looking for a decent 37 with full HD, VGA, HDMI. We'll see if one turns up within budget at some point.

who said they were square?

my P121S reads 83 x 99.5mm (no verniers up here, so that will have to be accurate enough). Why should they be square? You have more flexbility this way.

yep. The control is more intuitive with the lever in front of you; the size (there's no "stick out bit"), the height addition is very nice indeed and I simply prefer the way the 222 works.

jup. A 322RC2 is the joysticked ballhead with a standard RC2 release plate (part 200PL14) on it.
I doubt very much that the crowd here have one, and personally i'd bite the bullet and get one from the states. They do pop up on EBay occasionally, but go very expensive very quickly.

Retail is around £70 IIRC; I personally tested one and chose a 222 over it.
