Adobe's upgrade policy extends to only 3 previous versions. If you miss the upgrade to CS3 now, CS4 will be much more expensive to buy later if you need it. If you buy CS3 now, you might even get a free upgrade to CS4 when it's released.

Cheers for the advice, allowed me to nab it quickly before someone else jumped in.
Not sure if I would have been so quick if it had been silver although I have since done some research on the lens and seen some excellent photos done with it. The general opinion certainly seems to be that it goes soft after 250mm but for the money it looks a decent enough start for me.
I notice there is no hood included, do you know if it came with one and if not does the lens need one?
Also wondering why the majority of them seem to be in silver?
Thanks again.

I bought a very inexpensive rubber hood for mine, available on that auction site. It stays on the lens as it conveniently folds back over the lens for storage.

Thanks for all your information.
After trawling through the net the price of the 200aw was betwen £49.00-£79 but on Monday morning I found the 2oo aw on amazon for £34.00 with free delivery. I orderd it and it arived on Tuesday morning. When I checked on amazon today I notced that the price has increased to £47.00 so I am glad I did not hangaround.
Could any body give me any tips of how to keep the k20 from moving around within the bag as it apears to be very loose
A bargain, or what? Well done.Thanks for all your information.

To stop the K20D from moving around . . . putting a bigger lens on it is a bit too obvious I suppose?
I have a DA* 16-50mm on the front of my K10D + battery grip. It doesn't move much.

Thanks for the info. Would the k20 with the grip attached fit the slingshot 200.
Yes it will. I often have my K10D + grip + DA* 50-135mm with lens hood fitted in the centre compartment, SMCP-DA* 16-50 + SMCP-DA 12-24 in two of the lens compartments, my AF540FGZ flash with Sto-fen Omnibounce fitted and a SMCP-FA 50mm 1:1.4 in the other compartment.Thanks for the info. Would the k20 with the grip attached fit the slingshot 200.
There's not quite enough room for both the lens hoods for the 12-24 & 16-50, so they share the hood from the 12-24. Not ideal, but better than no hood at all.
It's about as heavy as is comfortable to carry around for any length of time. To carry any more really needs a backpack.

Have a look at the Lowepro Slingshot 200AW.
I can't get on with any bag that is carried by just one shoulder. The slingshot has an additional strap that makes it feel as comfortable as a backpack. It can also be quickly moved around to the front of the body to gain access to its contents.

You'll need to check the trigger voltage with a voltmeter (digital or analogue). Measure between the centre pin and the ground strip, usually inside the mount. If it's 10's of volts you can safely assume it's OK. If it's 100's of volts, don't use it.

Nice pic, but . . . don't you have a red-eye removal tool?

I think I like it . . . but I'm not sure. I need more time to digest it's visual attributes.
You do come up with some good ideas. Inspirational.
At first, I thought you might have some serious sensor cleaning to do
