Technik's prices include German VAT. There is no more VAT to pay when the item enters the UK. The Hong Kong prices exclude VAT (because they don't have it, and are not in the EU), so VAT will be payable on delivery.

They are advertising the camera as "coming soon" at a price of approx £420, body only.
B&H in New York is very reliable, and has them in stock for £325 approx. Add £100 or so for shipping and VAT.

But I'm sorry to hear about your problems. I assume you left him a neg.

Though I have to say that when I visited Shetland, the sea didn't look quite that colour! Moderation is a good motto, even with Photoshop.

It's would be much nicer if you could just load a page of thumbnails linked to pictures. As you seem to be using a Mac I can't advise how to do it, but in Windows Irfanview is just the ticket.

If you want to give slideshows, you'll probably get better quality using a digital projector - though I know it won't be as good as a real slide viewed with a proper projector.

Either your memory is faulty, or you were charged the wrong amount. VAT is always 17.5% on physical goods, and it is charged on the total landed cost, including shipping and duty. Duty is typically around 2% or so. It is VAT which is the killer.
