There was a really good Thai restaurant, seems it is still there:

Lanna Thai
287 Exhibition St, Melbourne, VIC 3000, Australia

I really want to go back but in spring or autumn so it isn't too hot or too cold.

Looks like Melbourn, that is the train station with the 'hexa-dome' roof.

I loved Melbourn when I was there is 1996. Also went to Sidney but only for 3 days compared to 2 months in Melbourn. Thankfully it was the middle of winter and all the deadly creatures were hibernating.

It does get rather cold though, and windy being exposed to the Antarctic.

You taking a trip along the great ocean road?

What was your old camera? SLRs can't do a live preview unless they have a special mechanism for this installed. Only the Olympus E300, 400, 500, 410 and 510 could do this untill recently. Now the Canon 40D and the Nikon D200 can as well.

I don't really find it useful and much prefer the traditional pentaprism or pentamirror.

I was hoping that they might be able to exchange/fast track repairs to save time and money.

I'm wondering what exactly this means and if it will have any bearing on servicing which currently taken a month or two. There has been a rumour around DPReview as to which UK stores will take this up.

If Chris@SRS could tell us a little that would be good

Devon Camera seem to have acquired this status as well...

Yes they do.

Not true. All right as a joke, but it wouldn't make much sense as a business model.

That's assuming I am correct in who you are talking about...

It is an exaggeration, but having spoken to people working for PC world they know less than my mother about computers.

Jessops in Leeds are actually not bad if all you want is a P&S. Only one person in store knew about extension tubes and understood SLRs.

WOW an assistant who knows what there talking about. Maybe a famous UK chain could ask him/her over to train their staff

You are funny... They don't spend money on training. It is like PC world, their employees need not know anything about what they sell. They simply need to regurgitate what is printed on the display, not explain anything and push the box into your hands.

They actually frown on anyone who knows what they are looking for and would never dream of employing them as they'd have to pay more than minimum wage!

You just have to ignore a lot of what is posted at dpreview's forums. If you just stick to the Pentax section it is much friendlier than the general sections where people only complain. Just look at the 40D and D300 threads!!!

Sounds good, I'll look out for that in November.

This works very well it really is a must know for anyone working with RAW files. The output is perfect
