Comments on: 24 days to go! http://www.feckoff.net/2007/01/20/24-days-to-go/ Random waffle about anything that catches my eye Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:08:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Feckoff.net » New York http://www.feckoff.net/2007/01/20/24-days-to-go/#comment-1046 Feckoff.net » New York Fri, 09 Feb 2007 10:06:58 +0000 http://www.feckoff.net/2007/01/20/24-days-to-go/#comment-1046 [...] I had posted a while back about the camera I plan to buy when I go to New York next week. Bok has since persuaded me to go for an SLR (he twisted my rubber arm) over the fixed-lens Fuji. I’m going to pick up a Nikon D50, 18-55mm Nikkor lens and a cheap 70-300mm Sigma telephoto lens. This does blow my original budget out of the water but I think it’ll be a lot better in the long run.

I can't actually find it at all on the Irish Argos website, but that's not surprising. Their search engine is rubbish. Local places here (Sam MacAuley pharmacies etc) are looking for €550, although they do throw in a 512MB memory card (about €15 from 7dayshop.com) and battery charger for that price. I already have suitable 2500mAh NiMH batteries and a charger so, no thanks to that :) That’s quite good for a high street shop.
