... And now I see that the AF540GZ II flash is on sale at B&H for $469.95 so it looks like I'm going to have to spend even more money

If you are thinking of bringing a flash with you to photograph interiors of castles and other historic buildings, bear in mind most now don't allow the use of flash or a tripod. The flash rule only seems to apply to SLRs, the flash from mobile phone cameras is fine...

Thanks, doodlebug. I have seen those signs in the castles, abbeys, etc on past trips. I think what I'm going to do is get a fast 50mm instead. Generally when indoors I don't take photos anyway but it'll be nice in case I want something better than the camera on my mobile to capture memories of what I see. The main photography collectors group here is having their big annual swap meet and sale in April so I'll have a chance to find what I need before my trip.
