Well they are based in france.
I bought a digi camera from them and the battery charger had a european plug on it...but they sent me a free adapter so it was all good.
Good prices and decent service....what else can you want? :D

Depends what you're buying. When the the product is from a well known manufacturer that sells worldwide, with the instructions in English and a standard, who cares what market it was meant for. All my products have arrived with UK spec power sources. Is a camera that was originally meant for sale in France any different to a UK one for example, or do they all smell of garlic or something? :p

no, but having to find a UK plug adapter or another power lead isn;t worth saving a tenner, to me anyway, plus i'd rather buy from somewhere like ebuyer or dabs because i've had to return several items, for varying reasons, and it's always been quick and painless:cool:
justy my opinion, doesn't mean it's the right one, even though it is...:p

Only slightly, the UK market only had a choice of 2 colours and i wanted the other colour so since the charger transforms the 240v anyways what was the problem?
And it was cheaper then the UK spec items i could find here so it was a win/win all round.

Depends whether you had to find an adaptor or not to get it to work I guess. I haven't with anything I've bought from there as they've all come with a UK lead. :-D

I've just bought the last one nick! ha!
I had a bad expierence, well actually a total nightmare, however, i have a couple of mates, and the brother in law who had no issues what so ever. I have found cheaper than Pixmaina though. My current camera was £50 cheaper from Jessops than Pix.
