A cheap tripod is not always a good buy - it is often better to save a bit longer and get a really good one from the get go. Trust me on this - it will save you money in the long run.
Both the ones you mention weigh a lot, which will discourage you from carrying them with you, and have a maximum weight they can carry of 4kg, which may seem a lot but isn't really. Of the two I would say the 600R is better - less leg sections and taller. The fewer leg sections the more stable the tripod.
I have a Velbon Sherpa ProCF630, which cost a lot but has proved to be worth every penny.
Maybe you should have a look at Benro tripods - a Chinese rip off of Gitzo and Manfrotto, but good quality apparently. I know a few people with them, including a professional wildlife photographer. PhotoPal.co.uk has them.
I don't find the difference in format between the Bamboo and the monitor a problem.

I give up. I'll just have to learn to leave lots of room around the edges, and accept that my existing photos won't print well.

Meanwhile I'll stick to my Qstarz

When I printed photos from my Ds they came out nicely at 3:2 - so if I wanted a picture at 10x15cm I got all the photo I saw on my screen on the paper. Since moving to the K20D that doesn't happen any more. It always crops bits of the photo, or leaves white edges. It is driving me nuts. I am doing everything the same as I did for the Ds but it's not working. Does the K20D not shoot in 3:2 ratio? Any ideas/help more than welcome.

Hello Gareth, welcome to the forum, Can you add your location to your profile please.
I'm not sure that mattp will read your post as he said he no longer want to take part in the forum- I suggest you send him a private message instead.
