Exactly.. the ones I sold aren't spectacular in anyway, shape or form.

Check with NZ fair Trading - they are sure to have a website which should have the info on it..

The consumer law here is quite different. The shop must replace or refund if the items are not "fit for purpose" which basically means that they are faulty in some way. There is no requirement for anything other than a credit when the customer changes their mind.

From the questions page on the Hearld website

Are the cruise ports badly damaged at Lyttelton? I will be visiting in October (arriving on the Sapphire Princess). I live in Silicon Valley California. We had a 7.1 in 89' One can still see damage around Palo Alto area. VERY SCARY. My heart goes out to all of you. My house way badly damaged. We did get thru it. Hope those aftershocks stop soon!

Peter Davie, chief executive of Lyttleton Port of Christchurch, says they are back on their feet and able to undertake all cargo operations.

The port will be operational when the Sapphire Princess arrives in October, so passengers do not need to be concerned says Davie.

They have cargo containers with food, water and fuel coming in.

"All the things that keep a city ticking are coming in," says Davie.

The port has an estimate of $50 million worth of damage that will need to be restored but despite this the port is operational.

I Made a calendar!

Proposed Itinerary of North Island Visit - Advice sought

Thank you MikeW & Azza. Local knowledge is so important when you have never been to a place and we all know that photographers look for different things than the average tourist (e.g. pre dawn awakenings). These responses are giving us a better idea of how to make the best use of what will be too short of a visit.

EarthQuake photos?

LynEve — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 14:09:33 GMT

So glad to know that those of you in ChCh are safe - and your cameras.
Some excellent shots here.

I was scared out of my wits when it happened and what we had was nothing compared with you guys in Cant'y.
Of course I did all the right things - i.e. quiver whimper and pray with my head under the blankets.
This is the person who is often seen bracing herself beneath doorways when she has felt an earthquake when there wasn't one :)
My family are used to me but I do get funny looks from others sometimes

Hope those after-shocks stop soon.
I see there were two reported at the same time at the last report - 0.52 am today. http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/...nt_quakes.html

In a perfect world it would be a new revenue stream for photographers.
Didn't get into FFFFlickr, though Fluidr is cool. Just been exploring http://www.flickr.com/photos/akiruna/
Which I'm quite enjoying.

What did you shoot this weekend?

mesodan — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 10:36:08 GMT

Just went to the local Zoo, was at the Iguana enclosure and this little black and white kitten had some how gotten in!

The main course for lunch I guess?!
