People do what they do for an almost infinite variety of reasons - I don't think you'll get to the boottom of your question easily.

Because they want to, they are searching for something, maybe they don't really know what, maybe they do....

But is it correct, and what about Lithium AA batteries?

The Kx is now available throughout the UK at very nice prices - has the price3 dropped in the Netherlands as well?

The seller might well offer a partial refund, it's definitely worth exploring the possibilities.

I never liked sp-lit screens either. It depends on your eyesight though, and what might suit one person might not suit another.

The first things is to check that the dioptre adjustment on the viewfinder eyepiece is set correctly.

Maybe better in some ways, but the 50-200mm is available as a WR version, which can be useful. I actually use both that and the 55-300mm, depending on the weather!

You could do a lot worse than just use the two kit lenses for now, 18-55mm & 50-200mm.
Totally agree. These are actually excellent lenses, plus light and compact.

Alternative thought: if travelling light is the thing, leave the laptop behind and travel with cameras plus 18-55mm and 50-200mm lenses. The 40mm is neither here nor there it's so small, but it won't be as versatile as the two zooms.

To make up for not having the laptop, take an iPhone if e-mail is needed, or lots of SD cards if memory was the issue, or both.
