18 focus points seems odd to me - surely 19 would make more sense?

The Iso standard seems odd to me but maybe it is right.

Also the bit about flashes is interesting.

Sounds like Katzeye won't be selling to many screens for it if the viewfinder info is correct.

Interesting to see where they put dual cards in it!

Now where do I place my order?

Not often I wish I had Channel 5.

We didn't see those lions either . Lots of hill climbing elephants but no lions.

Thanks for the link Greynolds. I shall certainly look to see if I can find them here too.

Selous and Ruaha are high on my list. In fact they are my preferred destination next time, though Zambia is also tempting.
I'd love to see wild dogs. There are some in Serengeti now, but there is more chance of seeing them in the south I believe.

Time to start working on my other half again.

That's more like it Stefan! No doubt some Japanese girl has already put in her order .

My husband decided he liked a nice tasteful one, navy and blue with a navy lens. My new camera comes first though .

I like paper books too, but my house is full of them and they are expensive here. They are a pain to take on holiday, taking up valuable lens space too.

I only ever read a book once. I cannot read a book a second time I'm afraid. I have shelves full of paperbacks which no one wants. I hate throwing books out, I feel so guilty about that.
I have read the library English section and a good chunk of the Dutch books I am interested in (and a fair few I wasn't interested in too).

An e-book (though probably not a Kindle), is tempting because it takes up little space, can have all your holiday reading on it, and (shock horror) your camera handbook as well in case you need to look up something while away. You can load it with guide books, maps notes you have made yourself about your trip, all sorts of useful stuff.

If there is software to convert e-book formats it might make a Kindle more attractive to me. I don't want to be tied to one supplier for my books.

Far too tasteful Stefan .

What about something like this

So what colour combination will you go for?

Now that I like! Shame it's only for Japan.

The reason I got the Bigma was I was promised another safari.

If there is a next time my kit will be whatever body I have then, the Bigma and the 17-70 (maybe), plus a beanbag.

I was there between the short and long rains so dust wasn't too much of a problem, though there was a drought on and the short rains had been very short. I only took one lens too so I didn't have to keep changing. The Bigma is too wide at the short end though so the 17-70 would have to go too.

Me too.
Still tempted by an e-reader though.
