Welcome Andi also from Horley!

Oh dear- it is very fussy in regards to CF cards! That must be like having a cake you can't eat!

Park Cameras store in Burgess Hill is very good.

This definitely isn't normal. I've never had any squeal from mine.

Hand warmers if you're into outdoor photography.

I have the Nikon 50 F/1.8 and the 35 F/1.8 on a D40x. I use the 35 way more than the 50, so I'd seriously consider this lens too.
