I was amazed recently by how much juice the lcd takes from the battery.
I got 2100 shots with only occasional viewing from a generic battery and no flash. The battery still had some juice, but I dunno how much. I'd say you could maybe get 2500 out of the battery.
I'd say I normally get 400-450 shots with automatic review and rare use of flash.

Aha you b**t**d!


I ordered mine last Friday. I phoned in, they couldn't id my address (???) so I ordered online to my Uni, but I used my Portuguese VISA, another fail (my fault), got an email, called them, cancelled that order. Ordered again online with my UK Visa Debit, got my email confirmation, great no probs. All this on Friday.
I waited till yesterday, nothing on the post, so I checked with them and they had cancelled the new order as well. I tried to re-order, they said it went through, but they had no lens in stock.

Its ok now I ordered from ParkCameras just now, should be here Friday (I hope).
I need by Sunday cuz I'm photographing the BUPA Great Edinburgh Run.

I got burned on my first ever sale. Undercharged by about 4 pounds.
I've been charging the actual cost of shipping or very near. That's because I have loads of boxes and fillers to wrap the items. So I'm usign them and charging nothing or very little (I want to get those £4 back). I think I do it very fairly.
What the guy did was not correct, if he stated a service, he should ude it, even if overcharging, it is then left up to you to choose to bid or not.
I'm guessing the guy wanted his fees back.
I think its perfectly fair to do it, in the sense that if you are not willing to sell for less than xx than dont do it, there are ways not to do it. But you do not need to cheat...

Disappointment...
These things allways happen to me at the worst times...
Tried to order the 55-300mm from SRS, but they couldn't get the order through, now that they did, no lenses in stock for a week...
I want it by Sunday. Gonna have to look elsewhere

Apart from the tatty strap and the apparently missing black tip of the lock lever it seems in vgc. It should be easy to replace if someone has a spare parts MX.

I hope the screen is clean.

Hard to say if its good or not from the one pic.
You might have gotten a good price, but I wouldn't say a bargain.
