well not quite but i will be ordering said camera :)

where is the best place as the my last one came from Currys and really dont fancy ordering from there.

ive looked at Panamoz and Cotswold cameras as they seem to have them in stock and good prices, the used market is hilarious , next to no savings over new and gone in 60seconds anyone would think they are eleanor.

so where best based on experience and if grey have you had issues with repairs or stuff like that, id look at MPB but 6months is 6months less that other places on the used stuff which is ok on a lens but camera not so much.

thanks all

"Gone in 60 seconds" original or remake?

Used prices are rediculous here also everyone seems to think they are made of gold. Can't help with were to buy. What did you decide on?

I have gone to buying local where ever possible. Then I have someone in my corner if I need help or a local expert if I have a question.

I wish there was someone local. I'd guess the nearest place is 2.5 hours away from me.

That is tough. Mine is Murphy's Camera in Lexington. It is about 45 mins away, and that really helps. Even if I cannot get to Lexington they will ship stuff to me. I use them for virtual everything but specials or stuff that they do not carry.

well another month waiting won't hurt , my poor pooch has the need of a vet and she may have to go to sleep to have it sorted, she's everything and kept me going through all the garbage in life so off to the vet tomorrow to see what can be done, fingers crossed its a simple issue :(

Sometimes they get a swollen ear like that from shaking their head. I hope it is something that simple because that is pretty common and can be treated. Good luck.

Saffy is now in the care of the Vet, ear is one issue which is having a stent implanted to ensure they can drain the hematoma (big blood blister) from her ear, they also found she has an eye Ulcer that they are going to sort out as well, plus a nail clip and some antibiotics for itchy feet

WOW!!! I couldn't help noticing that UK prices are $300 more than US prices...

Congrats on the new camera...
Thank vat and import taxes for that little gem lol, I used yo buy all my Harley parts from the US , impossible now as shipping is horrific then get clobbered 20% vat and 6% import duty when it lands in the UK , no paying and your item get sent back or crushed and you still get the bill, and a gift can’t be more than the equilivent of £40
