Interestingly the Canaries are EU members, being part of Spain, but they have special status within the EU. So whilst they are correct in saying you can buy duty free to take to the Canaries, they are wrong in saying they are not EU.
And for Norway it is cheaper to buy at their duty free when you land than before you fly.
Why can't other countries have their duty free shops available to landing passengers - think of all the fuel that could be saved by not lugging bottles of booze around the world .
But we digress. Mike has found his missing SD card, and is now set for a great holiday we hope. We'll look forward to the photos when he gets back.

I imagine that recent events in Japan are now impacting on deliveries of new cameras. Even if they are not assembled in Japan many (all?) parts come from there.

You still pay the VAT of the country you are purchasing from within the EU - no refund for EU citizens travelling between EU countries.
So if I buy something in the UKL (say my K-5) I pay the UK VAT rate not the Dutch one (which is lower), and vice versa.

I watched it too, well bits of it in between cooking. I enjoyed it. My team won .
F1 season finally kicks off tomorrow too. I hope all the changes made lead to more interesting races.
Not sure I'll be up to watch it live with the clocks changing and losing an hours sleep.

I was amused last month to see the 16GB Extreme III card I bought for less than 20 quid through amazon, at three times that price in the Dixons "duty free" store in Gatwick.
Mike leaves tomorrow so has no time to order online - that's why I suggested getting them at the airport. If you are going to buy some cards, I'd suggest buying them online and not at the airport.

There is no such thing as duty free on European flights anyway.
Also any store with a physical store will have to charge more than an online store with only a warehouse.

Do you shoot RAW+ Smeggy? Or machine gun mode? If not how on earth do you find time to fill 32 Gb in one day?
Even in Norway taking photos from before 7 am until gone 11 pm I only managed 473 photos in a day.

If we want to travel light then the image tank goes, just to provide backup, but mostly now my netbook and mini HDD travel with us.
To really travel light I'd just take spare cards, and make sure I lock them as I fill them.
Hotels may not be keen on letting use their computers for transferring photos, unless they have a public one. In which case it may or may not have USBs for your use. They don't want you importing viruses onto their system so may not allow sticks and drives to be used.
