Buy a cheap HDMI cable from eBay

ignore people trying to scare you into buying more expensive ones, I've bought about 7 all from different sellers over the past 3 years, all under a fiver and not had a problem with any of them and I always recommend other people buying from there too and they haven't had problems

just because 1 person has a bad experience doesn't mean you will or we'd never shop anywhere!

and how many people have had issues at places like Amazon, Comet, Play, Curry's etc?
thousands if not millions, doesn't mean everyone should not buy from there

Whats this? A bidding war?

I think at the end of the day you can get good cables CHEAP on ebay, and you can get rubbish cables (in my case) cheap.. It wouldnt stop me buying stuff on ebay, thats for sure. Incidentally I just received my CHEAP 3rd party batteries (saved £185 on 2 batteries) from Hong Kong, hopefully they work as they should. :D I have certainly bought brilliant (and cheap) batteries on ebay before.

I also buy all my batteries from HK ebay. All factory sealed and official Canon / Sony batteries.

The Sony NP-F970 is nearly £150 at reputable stores like Jessops here in the UK, you can buy the same official sony batteries delivered from HK for less than £30!!! unbelievable.
I have NEVER had one problem with a HK sale from ebay regarding batteries.

I wouldnt put any money on them being official batteries, however from experience 3rd party batteries perform just as well as the official batteries, if not better.
