I have this lens, I really like it, not too big. Got it from that Digirev site for a really good price.

I was the same as you, had a Canon 40D with a few L's. Got to heavy to take anywhere. The wife complained about the weight. So sold it all and have since gone through about 6-8 different types of smaller cameras. never been really happy with the results though. The wife complained the most, said...

Wow, that heron is superb.

Have you got to buy a new monitor? How about going for a Mac mini, I have one, changed from a PC and love it. Not that difficult to get used to. And so quiet, none of them noisy fans blowing masses of dust into the air :D

The 2nd looks better to me.

17-40 one of my favourite lenses.

Always used to have Canon but sold all my gear and went with a X10 and regretted it ever since. Keep looking at the Nikon D3100 because it looks such a good price at the moment.

I've been looking at purchasing one but they do seem to be a bit temperamental.

Have you seen these instructions? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEwHQU8MLnQ

I keep all my boxes and tend to stay away from 2nd hand gear without boxes :)

That's a shame, oh well might have a look at it anyway.

Any incentives given for being a Beta tester?

CompactFlash for 400D if I remember correctly.

When I had a 400D I used the SanDisk 8GB 30MB/s cards and never had a problem with them.

Try the Dell outlet, I've purchased 3 laptops over the years and all have been excellent bargains. http://www.dell.co.uk/outlet/
