But if you're thinking of buying one, look first at:

I was quite interested in one but here in the UK they're around four times
the US price. Excessive, considering that they're not designed to be
repairable.

The Minolta Dimage is my first choice now but I'm looking for a 'safe' place
to buy it from as I'm sick of having to do battle with retailers to get
refunds on peripherals that won't work with my computer. Neither of the two
safe places I know - QVC and Simply Computing - have offered the Minolta,
though the latter stocks the HP.
