    What to do with a spoilt battery charger?

    My (Nikon D3000) battery charger is now spoilt. Can I buy a 3rd party charger for the battery or do I have to use Nikon charger? Where to buy? Has anyone encountered this problem and is it worth repairing? Thanks for any help.

    Olympus XZ-1 with FAST f1.8 lens

    I dont understand what blueskye168 is saying or asking. But I will continue to charge the battery via the supplied cables with battery in the camera. It is just like charging your mobile phone so I think it should be safe.

    Fungus on lens -Where to clean?

    I trawled this forum without success so can someone please recommend a good place to clean my lens? Hopefully it is not too expensive as this camera is not going to be used. It is an old Asahi Pentax film camera which I intend to keep. Thanks.

    XZ-1 Where and how much.

    Harvey Norman is selling, if I am not mistaken, $811 with 5 year extended warranty which is an extra $135 which means the camera is $676. My figure might not be 100% accurate but it is around there.

    XZ-1 Where and how much.

    Apart from Harvey Norman, any other places offer extended warranty? I am thinking it might make more sense to pay extra for the extended warranty and peace of mind for fear of the camera breaking down after 1 year! Happened to me with my 2 previous cameras! And DVD player. And LCD TV. And ...

    LX5 Retail Price as of 12 Jan 2011

    I actually have decided on a LX5 but still have not bought it but now I think the LX5 price might be under pressure soon when the Olympus XZ-1 is released! If the XZ-1 is about $700 I would buy that unless LX5 drops below $600. Well, I can hope. :) But if that happens, I will be torn between...

    Want LX5 but do I really need it?

    I am thinking of buying an LX-5 but if I do get it, I intend to just use the auto function, dont really want to fiddle with the manual controls. (I also have a Nikon D3000.) So do I really need an LX-5? Or is there another camera that is cheaper, simpler and just as good as the LX-5 in auto...
