Need a recharge

Since our place got broken into, I’ve spent the past month waiting on Amazon for an elusive replacement battery charger for my digital camera. Unfortunately, the estimated delivery time of 5-11 October was, surprise, surprise, altered on the 11th to 15-22 October. So, I’ve gone elsewhere for that! If anyone knows any good online places to buy cheap camera stuff, post it here!
