Just remember, smaller the number listed in the product the higher the costs - eg D3 as opposed to d5000, f2.8 as opposed to f5.6 etc

Maybe you should have gone for a cheaper wedding (elope) and saved the $$ for the photography gear

The wedding only cost $2000, couldnt have been cheaper. We had the reception at home and got a Marquee, I did all the cooking, then we had a huge bonfire.

I guess I just need to start with the basics and add to my list of photo taking tools.

I have bought two cameras from DWI in the last 12 months, the last one arrived yesterday via Fedex and you could follow the progress of the camera from China to Perth on the Fedex site including it had been placed on the delivery van that morning in Belmont.

Shipment commenced on 8/10 and camera arrived morning 11/10, Fedex was $40 on top of camera price

Both cameras were purchased for about 40% less than the cheapest Australian camera supplier

Both were Panasonic TZ range cameras

Would continue to buy from DWI based on price and service

Anyone know how they go if you need to claim on warranty?

DWI is the Australian based importer and by Australian Law it have to provide the warranty.

We just have a general digital camera, whilst its not bad, and probably has more settings than i'll ever know about, Im keen to get into something serious.

What are you thinking of getting Dawg?
