HCSD cards, cheapest place I've found is The 7 day shop!
All items are free of Vat(they are in the channel islands), and post free.

We've just bought a new car. Gulp.
Wagon=Estate Car,3 cylinder? I don't think so, having worked for FoMoCo for almost 37 years, Ford has never produced a 3 cylinder engine to my knowledge, and at only 1 ltr, any wagon/estate car would be very under powered, even a 1.3 would be under powered on a Focus platform!
Brand spanking new, not the young secondhand one we were thinking of getting. It was cheaper to buy a new one than the identical 1 year old car.
I just hope we've done the right thing. Lots of money involved in such a purchase.
A Ford Focus wagon with a 1 litre, 3 cylinder engine.
We get it on Friday hopefully. Depends on the tow bar being in stock for it.

Hi. I have checked out both of these cameras. Great reviews but they are not compacts.
This camera is for my beloved. Herself has become impatient with my failure to meet her expectations and have visited Jessops. The assistant has informed her that the latest compacts do not suffer from the problem of viewing in bright sunshine.
Herself is now exploring Pentax compacts.
Who am I to challenge a Jessops assistant.
So! Which Pentax compact do |I steer her towards

Are LCD screens protectors a good idea or are the newest screens so well made that they do not need protecting?
If they are useful which are the best and where can you get them at a reasonable price?

I have always used the clear skin type protectors on my cameras.Are LCD screens protectors a good idea or are the newest screens so well made that they do not need protecting?

Dave
It's common sense really Dave, as it's easy to replace a scratched skin, it's also cheap.
It's a very expensive repair to replace a scratched LCD screen!

As for me, I read John Riley's review,and if John likes this lens, that's good enough for me.
Many magazines are biased anyway and think only of losing their advertising revenue!

The AF280T is a superb flash gun,and I used mine with the cord and the off camera flash(AF400T)
The swivel head feature is excellent, as is the bounce feature.
If you're going to get the best from this flash, you'll need the two diffusers, for wide angle and zoom shots.
Pity it's not any good for my K20D.

It's heavier than the 18-135mm , but is it as good?
I would love to have the 18-135mm as my (always on lens), but are there any reviews on the 18-270mm lens?
