I'm going to get a head that supports at least 11 lbs because I plan on going with a larger lens in the future.
I'm a little confused if I should go with a ball or a 3-way...
For ball I'd probably get http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Ball_Head.html
And for 3-way i'd get http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Tilt_Head.html.

I was looking on ebay and seen photoshop CS3's are going for about $100 or so new and sealed. The new Photoshop CS4 is $700 new from adobe!! but the upgrade is only $200. My question is, is it worth buying CS3 off ebay and the upgrade to CS4 for a total of about $300 or the CS3 for $100 or so bucks would be sufficient enough. Im not looking to go crazy editing on my pictures but need a decent platform to do it off of.

The burn and dodge function is the only "must-have" thing over CS3 in my opinion.

also there are plenty of other programs you can use for other just photo related fixes, or changes.

yea cs2 or cs3 are more than fine to use as a beginner...there is so so so much to learn so any of them will do...I personally love searching on youtube for tutorials on how to do things...the only reason to use a higher version is if you are running a newer camera that isn't supported by cs2 or cs3 but even then you can download free converters from adobe so that you can view the files in photoshop...

Oo ok yeah I think ill pick up cs3 off ebay. I have a pirated version of regular cs that I have been screwin around with from a while ago but with virus's and everything its just not worth the hassle. Unless your saving $700 with cs4 lol.
