Thanks for all the replies folks.
I have had my trusty Pentax ME110 35mm SLR for over 20 years and the pictures are still brilliant, I have not yet ventured into digital because of this, but think it is about time I did for the convience if nothing else.
It states that the memory card is 128 MB SD, on the handout from Aldi, does that mean it would not take Compact Flash as well.
I am tempted to go down the Canon route but this did seem good value, bearing in mind the favourable comments a few weeks ago with regard to the PC's from ALDI.
Gaz, the handout from Aldi shows a picture of the power packs and it does say "traveler" on the back of them.
