I Have found the K-R for £449 body only and the 18-55 AL II for £69 at mifsuds, £448 after cashback. I would rather this lens than the DA-L version as it has the lens hood, and if memory serves me right a metal lens mount.

Check this forum for lenses - you'll be surprised at the bargains - but think hard about the standard zoom. Good as it is, most people trade up asap.

£849 on their site, which is also cheaper than a lot of others!

Given the nature of a monopod - you have to support it most of the time - I'd suggest you need a really simple head with only a single adjustment, such as this http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/3200/Manfrotto-234RC-Tilt-Monopod-Head.html.

I use one of these, and support the camera with my left hand whilst adjusting the head with my right. The choice is landscape or portrait mode.It's designed to be used with a monopod.

Most of the 'adjusment' associated with the framing of the picture is then actually done by moving the monopod front to back or side to side.

I agree, however, that other heads will be more versatile.
