Got my Fz10...really enjoying it. Anyone know where to get spare batteries for it in UK. Any idea also of a good external flash unit for it?

Hi Paul:
I did a fair amount of research on external flashes and found that the most popular/effective were the Vivitar 285 and the Sunpak 383. I ultimately opted for the Sunpak, as it was slightlt smaller and lighter, and at least for me more user friendly.

I bought mine on eBay in the USA from this fellow:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3803993846&category=30020
With postage it cost me $26, which is a little more than 14 GBP. If you click on "ask seller a question" you can e-mail him to find out if he would be willing to mail to the UK. I believe there are two sellers on eBay who sell the battery.
Good luck,
B. Char

Looks good, unfortunately, I can't see how muchpakage& postage without creating an acound (5EUR? 10EUR? 15EUR?) and their free shipping to mainland UK applies only for items under 30 pound (not to 28 Pound and probabyl not to international orders, anyway).Maplins do a neat ext 2000mAh that screws to tripod mount for £28

So I am still unsure how much it will really cost me. Does anybody have the name of the manufacturer so that I can try the local dealers/shops?
Best wishes,
