I always wonder at the whole "running cost's" argument presented by site owners. What are these running costs? Yeah I know a domain name costs on an annual/bi-annual basis, around a tenner for 2yrs. And then there's hosting cost's, 1 and 1 currently do 50gb space + unlimited bandwidth for a fiver a month. So how can a site justify trying to get it's users to part with their hard earned just for a few added extras like an exclusive review of a new camera? Easily!! Now if you want to see a real con, I have a nigerian uncle who needs.........
I don't understand why that seems to be so difficult for some people to grasp.

This argument can be applied to a lot of things. I love music and there is nothing to beat live opera in a concert hall.
I have misjudged you all these years.

Anything imported from outside the EU is subject to duty and VAT.
Duty is levied on the price including shipping costs, and VAT is charged on the price including shipping AND duty.
Fortunately, import duty is generally very small.
Some carriers will charge you a fee for importing the item, and paying the VAT and duty on it.
If you allow 25% you won't be far out unless the item is unusually cheap or expensive.

K10D images are much nicer than CMOS images.

The PZ1-P was immensely capable, but I never used more than 10% of its features. The Super-A had just the right balance between features and usability.
And it was the best looking of all.

I inadvertently caught some of the TV coverage and was amazed to hear that 'The captain of the Queen's barge has his big balls hanging down the side'.
It was said to be wonderful seamanship, but I think the skipper made much too tight a turn, and had to move sideways on his bow and stern thrusters for about 200 yards.
In the days before thrusters, he would have taken it straight up to the dock like a proper sailor.

Unfortunately, your background music drowns your voice. I know the yoot of today must have music with everything, but it really isn't necessary, or desirable.
