I am upgrading to a Canon 40D. The Kit (Body+17-85mm IS USM lens) will cost me £1212stg. in Ireland. I can get the same "kit" from Martins Camera Shop in the UK (online) for £835 + £30 (approx) P&P. Total £865. A saving of £347. As I value goods & shop in euros the saving in euros is 443. Evidently I have no intention in buying the "kit" in Ireland. Its a rip off!!!. Can anyone advise me if I purchase from the UK do I have a warranty? Can I get it cheaper than £835. How about from the US (warranty ???) or even from e.g Hong Kong (warranty)? I see in some threads that the UK can be expensive by comparison. So now you know how I feel. Regards, Misty
