    Crazyfingers - those settings for C1 and C2. Do you use "P" mode? Or Av or whatever?

    Tim, I got mine from Digitalrev for £289 with free shipping a few weeks ago. I think they are sourced from Hong Kong but they guarantee you won't have to pay any VAT/import duty.

    Hi guys. Really impressed with the results from the SX50, especially Ian's photos. Can anyone who bought their SX50 from Digitalrev in HK confirm whether there is any issue with having to pay VAT and import duty upon receipt of the package? Thanks.
