Looking at buying this in the next week or two.
Is there anywhere that sells lens/bags/acceseries etc for it?
Thanks.

Lens isn't detachable on that cam, it's not an SLR mate.
Accessories, i'm guessing a memory card?
Have a look on warehouseexpress, also have a look on eBay at getting a second hand dslr. Look for things like a Nikon D50, and Cannon 350d, a bargain might pop up.
Also look on talkphotography.co.uk, in the classifieds section.

Cheers Alex, told you i was a n00b  .
It takes AA batteries, what do people reckon to lithium batteries? Lauren works in the photo bit of Asda and says that alot of people like them?
I will keep my eye out for a DSLR, but i was thinking just a cheapo one to learn the basics etc.

I'm still amazed at how cheap they are going for now but it is quite a bit more than what you're looking at.
Anybody thats even got half an interest always regrets not getting a dslr though.

Sorry Jake but I've got to agree, I've had mine 18 months now, although it didn't get much use in the first 12, now I'm using it more, I'm getting more disappointed with it compared to results people are getting from slr's.
End of the day, it's still a compact, it's only gonna have the quality of a compact, even with the extra manual settings, it's so obvious the photo quality is nowhere near slr's.
Perfect example in this thread >Click< look through all the pics then the one that Lee has posted at the bottom is one of mine, the quality has no comparison to the others

I always look at it as if it doesn't fit in my pocket I might as well have an slr (money dependant of course)

Thats the thing, i wasn't planning on spending more than £150 for a first camera tbh..
Although i've looked for seconds hand D40's etc and there still over £200
