With a starting bid a bit high, I think I'll have to look for a few coins that have fallen down the sofa.

This is what I've bought Mr Termite

But no telling him now, it's a surprise.  That's my tax rebate gone then!

The last couple of camera I've bought via the internet have come from France - is it any cheaper over there, and iIs there a decent and/or cheap camera shop at Le Mans?

Decent, yes, cheap, no.  My guy is a Nikon specialist though so I can talk real turkey with them.  The prices are pretty much on a par with the UK.  I find Pixmania (French company but with a UK site) pretty reasonable for internet prices.  On the other hand, I paid about £50 less than Aperture Photographic are asking for said lens.  The critical bit was that they had one (they also had a D40 which I had trouble keeping my hands off....)

and on the hour, the car revs and comes out the garage and wizzes around the clock.

Stupid, but fun.

Thanks Termie.  I use Pixmania, they're very good and its odd that they ship from France, and throw in an adapter plug, even if it doesn't need one.

But a pocket sized manual in English would be useful.  My first real camera had 5 knobs.  The DSLR has 17 plus several menus - I'm easly lost.

I download mine (manuals) from the internet when I'm too lazy to translate but not exactly pocket sized!  The manufacturers will often cough one up though.
