Belgium used to be cheaper for cameras, but with the multiplicity of Digital cameras I find it hard to draw a comparison. With my latest digital camera, I saved several hundreds of pounds buying in the UK. Computers and their components are definitely cheaper in the UK by mail order. The trouble with a multi-standard set is that the majority of the UK market doesn't need or want one; they maybe cheaper therefore to buy abroad. It all sounds like a good argument for going to satellite if you have to watch TV while abroad.

On a scuba diving holiday to Tenerife I recall being amazed at the prices for video cameras ... they were so cheap you could have gone over for a weeks holiday and bought the camera for the same money as just the camera in the UK -- Steve Parry http://www.gwynfryn.co.uk http://wrexhamseals.tripod.com
