That doesn't sound so good. I can't see who the seller is via 'order history' page with nothing to suggest it's not Play.com you're buying from and I don't remember what was on the original play web-page now

edit - If it's from a Play Trade reseller it has a different logo in your order and the seller is listed when you look in the order details ....

On the bright side - if it doesn't turn up at least I don't have to sneak it past the girlfriend!

Well if it doesn't arrive then I haven't lost anything other than getting my hopes up!

I'm pretty sure it did say 'In stock' this morning - not that it means anything ....

Shim - did you cancel your order? Maybe they will get more in stock ...

You can get card declined for a variety reasons, especially if you have moved home recently, though if they've confirmed it went through ok ...

My status has moved up to 'packing' which means:

- Payment for your order has been successfully processed.
- Your order is now being prepared for dispatch.

so I guess the offer is genuine and not a mistake

Only placed my order this morning

I had every intention of skipping an upgrade each time so my next camera was to be the K30D, but as I've been looking on ebay for an old K100D / *ist and they are still going for £180+ second hand this was a no brainer.

I will probably be selling either the K10D or the GX-20 when I get back from holiday.

I was looking for a second hand backup body for my Safari in June but at this price!!

I've ordered it - hopefully all will be ok!

It gets cropped as an image from the K10D is a 3:2 ratio which will not fit in an 10x8 print (5:4 ratio). If you want the whole image you need to print 12x8 (or other 3:2 ratio paper size).

If your happy to loose 2 inches from the print you can do it yourself in PS - at least you would get to decide where it got cropped from.

edit - beaten to it my mikew!

I have a Giottos 3290B 5-section monopod with Manfrotto 486RC2 ball head. I use this with my K10D + Sigma 100-300mm lens and supports this weight easily.

I wouldn't pay too much notice of a magazine review if I was you, it doesn't matter what the subject is - photography, cars, computers and golf - these are all magazines I've read a lot of over the years and have noticed that there are no unbiased reviews in magazines - the top advertisers always get the best reviews - no exceptions.

I would trust the experience of actual users of a product far more which is why I visit so many forums. The opinions of people here are worth more than whoever wrote that article and the general opinion is that for the money, the Pentax 55-300mm is the best available.

You are aware that Sigma lenses have just gone up by quite a lot? This lens is now £599 at SRS (everyone will have put their prices up).

If you can still get one at the pre-price increase price then it may be worth it if you are planning on upgrading your body in the future.

I'd second the a HP S-IPS LCD. I don't have experience of that model mentioned but I have used several different models at work and was impressed enough with them to buy a LP2065 (20") for home and am very happy with it.

I'm not sure if it's the case with the LP2475, but the LP2065 which I have was available with both a S-IPS and a slightly inferior S-PVA screen. I'm not sure if this is a trick that HP do a lot but it's worth 'doing your homework' on. You will only get a blank look in PC World if you ask for one type over the other
