Oh bugger, I'm up waaay too late. I saw Nikon 50mm and immediately I thought of the new 1.4. Okay, now I'm up to speed.
I can't really see a hard knock doing a whole lot of damage - hell, I've seen zooms bounce down stairs and still work fine. If your aperture's working OK and you don't notice your image quality affected, I wouldn't be too concerned.

Frankly, if you're starting out, you may as well go for the SX 10. It's got enough manual setting options so that you can play around and figure out if you want to get further into photography, and with 20X zoom, image stabilisation and a large aperture, you can ease into it with a camera that's very forgiving.
Be advised that when you're buying a DSLR, getting the camera body itself is the easy part - your troubles begin when you start looking at getting the right lenses. For example, the 400D with the kit lens was A$1250 when I got it, but within a week I got tired of the lens and got a Sigma 24-105 f/2.8-4, which could shoot at much lower light levels. Then came the 18-200 OS, the Nifty Fifty and the Sigma 10-20 for landscape photography. Now I'm pushing the 18-200's limits, it's time to get the 70-200, which at A$2240 costs almost twice the price of the camera itself , and I'm rushing to get it before the 20% price hike at the end of the month. The bottom line is that a "low-end" DSLR can be deceptive - it's the cost of the glass that'll hit you, and even a basic body will outperform a lot of lenses, as I've found with the 400D.
It's fine if you know you're going to make use of it, but until such time you may as well not jump in. I got started with the SX 10's great-grandaddy, the S1IS, played around with it for about two years, moved to the 400D, and I figure I'll be ready for full-frame some time in the next year.

Either outcome of Brazil would not have been justice. Given the way Ham and Massa both bollixed it throughout the year, the 2008 WDC is simply the loser in a "who can screw up the most" contest. The only just WDC would have been Robert Kubica.
And I don't care how vehemently it is denied. The odds of Glock losing 20 seconds on a lap at the critical moment are so low it's not funny. KELONG!

I'm continually amazed by the lengths some people will go to in order to find excuses for fucking up in school.
You failed. Grow up and deal with it instead of finding all sorts of cock-and-bull stories about being mistreated. Can't take the heat? Balek kampung. This isn't a place where you can throw money around and buy a degree.

Neither Massa nor Hamilton deserved the WDC this year. I vote that the WDC Trophy this year should be engraved "Loser - 2008 Self-Buttfucking Contest". I watch F1 to see racing drivers fight to get to the finish line first, but instead I get a bunch of nincompoops pushed to the limit just trying not to fumble the ball. What a load of bollocks.

SS, are you putting people on, or are you just fucking stupid? If you're going to commit crimes with a registered handgun, you're just asking to get fucked. Unfortunately, criminals aren't as moronic as you are, and banning handguns isn't going to do a goddamned thing because what they've got is illegal in the first place.
Idiot.

Some nutcase came up and shot him dead. You figure that's his not living a good life?
What do you know about John Lennon? From what I see so far, it amounts to jack squat.
