    Mine came with a batter charger and Lithium battery but I decided to buy a spare so I wouldn't be without. I bought one on ebay from Hong Kong, an original in pack and half the price you pay here, came in 5 days.
    I have also just ordered a bag from Amazon half the price of our local camera shop [​IMG]

    My new camera as arrived, it's great.
    I haven't really had time to read everything about it yet but so far I love it.
    I can't wait to get out and about with it.
    The dog is already fed up and there is only so much garden you can take. :D

    I had this camera from ebay �£144 + p&p I saved over �£50 on the high street prices.
    I now need a case, spare battery and a bigger memory card.
    As I said before Christmas pressis I think. :D

    hi lyn,

    try 7dayshop.com for batteries, chargers and memory cards. I get all mine from there and have had no problems what so ever, although i seem to recall someone on this forum did experience some problem with slow delivery???

    I have just got back from the park with the dog.
    We are very lucky where we live the park ,Sutton Park is only a few mins walk from our house.
    This is the first time I have used the camera It's a bit difficult on my own with the dog as she is 12 ,deaf and wonders off. :rolleyes:
    I have to keep a close eye on her .
    But here goes.

    Rosa if I can take photos with this camera anyone can.
    I really don't have a clue.
    I no what I like the look of and just point and click.
    Half the time I have it on the wrong settings.
    Most of the time I have no idea what the setting are or mean.
    Macro? no idea
    Picture noise ? not a clue.
    There are lots of things I have read on here that I don't understand but I will start to ask questions because I would love to understand and learn how to take really good photos.
    I am hopeless.
    I am going to read the instructions for this camera first time ever. :D

    Molly can hear high pitched noise , a loud clap or whistle.
    But I get scared incase she wonders off and I can't call her back.
    My husband says she never would wonder off and she always makes sure she can see us but I'm not so confidend with her.
    She as only been deaf a few months.
    I find it very strange and still call her and talk to her. :rolleyes:
