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?

I got two spare batteries for my FZ10 from the Battery Barn in the States. Paul.. http://www.batterybarn.com/cgas002.htm ..there was a $6.00 posting charge to the UK but even with that I still saved ££ and I think we had them within a week.. hope this helps..

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 would recommend http://www.batterybarn.co.uk , have bought from them
twice now received within 4 days each time and their batteries are
of higher power than the standard battery.

Hi Paul,
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).

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,

Tels
