One of us has dropped the camera - the clue is in the picture. We read the book of words but to no avail; in the end , we resorted to a hard thump and the lens retracted but wouldn't come out again.I had a sleepless night wondering how to say "Can you repair this camera?" in Spanish, and , perhaps, "We need to buy another camera." But how to ask for the features that we wanted, etc. We cycled into Caceres [again along a cycle track - the Spanish are very good at these], parked up the bikes and managed to ask directions to a camera shop. The young lady didn't speak English but took one look at our camera, shook her head and produced a similar model at a quarter of the price and with more pixels. DP knows a bargain when he sees one and immediately stumped up the Euros. It came in a box with all the necessary parts and a manual in SPANISH! This could be the end of Nancy and Peggy's film show - all we can hope for is that it works in a similar way to our old one, and let's face it - we only ever used that on automatic!
