I wouldn't have bothered for a difference of £20 on a lens, but a difference of £153 (yes, one hundred and fifty three!) could not be ignored.

I have always said that a sharp grainy image is preferable to a soft mushy one without grain/noise.
Anyone who ever put a 200 ISO colour film in their 35mm film camera and was happy with the results has nothing to complain about noise wise in any event.
I use the 100-400 range just as Benjikan does, usually 200 to get an extra stop of shutter speed.

There is a new lighter L version as well, but I would prefer the original with metal mount and Quick Shift.
Quick Shift is the ability to tweak the focus manually after AF has operated. This is a very, very useful feature.

Orange has a far better coverage IMHO, and my 3GB dongle gives me internet almost everywhere.
The internet speed depends upon the type of netwoek in an area. In Scotland the GPRS is slow but it is just tolerable.
In the cities UTMS is very fast and very acceptable at around 1 - 2 Mb/sec

When you look at A3 competition or exhibition prints from various marques frankly there isn't a problem with any of them, whether shot in JPEG or RAW.
Obviously less noise would always be nice, just like more pixels would be, but we are at a pretty good point right now.
