New Toy Time again!!!

It's no good, I just could not resist the lure of a better quality semi-SLR type digital camera. The Minolta DiMage f300 is good, but is just sooo sllllooooowww at starting up, charging the flash etc...

Inspired by the recent purchase of a Canon EOS 20D by a friend (Very nice!!) I looked for similar but a LOT cheaper. I finally decided upon the Minolta DiMage A200

I bought it from Jacobs in Birmingham, where I got a deal of a Lexar 80x 512 MByte Compactflash card, a lowepro soft case and the camera for £555 - a saving of £35 on retail. OK, possibly not the absolute cheapest I could have got it for, but I feel it's worth a small premium to be able to go and shout loudly in busy shop if you have a problem that is not being handled to your satisfaction!
