Wow, it seems as if I have caused a bit of a stirr with my Argos story :eek: I've got another question if you guys don't mind... I'm looking to buy a telephoto with a decent reach, mainly for shooting aeroplanes, wildlife and a bit of macro. I've narrowed it down to two choices, a 2nd hand...

That's encouraging to hear - I was looking to buy Photoshop Elements so I could use ACR with my a200 until I heard about the incompatibilities. Do you know how it fares with the a200? I will give it a try myself at some point although it's slightly more expensive than PSE for the Standard...

Evening chaps :) I've just picked up a Sony a200 + 18-70mm - so far I'm really impressed with the camera, I was a bit worried the first time I heard the sensor cleaning noise but I scrolled back a couple of pages and noticed that's normal :p I have had a quick scout around the 'net and...
