there is a slight difference in price.. around rm100 only.

Sigma 1020
- Lower built quality
+ Wider at 10mm and can go upto 20mm
- Quality control record not that nice..

Tokina 1116
+ Superb built quality
- A tad smaller at 11mm

IS THIS TRUE? need advice

If you have a limited budget and you have the 18-55VR kit lens - Get the Nikon AFS 55-200VR lens

Hi there,
I am new here, looking and would like to consider a brand new entry level Nikon D3000. Made some Googling previously and found this URL: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0907/09073004d3000handson.asp and http://www.nikon.com.my/productitem.php?pid=1330-ae86b1ea79.
Just want to seek an advice from the pro here, is it okay to proceed with D3000? Price-wise, it supposedly more or less the price of a D60, right? Because feature-wise is also more or less the same except for:
* Guide mode
* 11 AF points (MultiCAM 1000 autofocus system)
* 3D AF tracking
* 3.0 inch LCD (vs 2.7inch LCD in D60 - both 230,000 dots)
Any advice is much appreciated.

i am a proud owner of tokina 11-16

i tried both sigma 10-20 & tokina 11-16 before buying. both lenses (for me) has the similar built quality - sigma is smaller & tokina is bigger. sigma's zoom ring is smoother, while tokina's rings are tougher. sigma gives free pouch while tokina gives free lens hood. sigma has the built-in AF motor which can AF in my D40. but i ended buying the tokina 11-16 for it constant aperture @ f2.8.

i am enjoying manual focus with this lens, as much as i enjoy MF with the 50mm f1.8

the widest @ 10mm vs 11mm is not really big different, it's just a step (or two) backward to get the wider view. although most of the times i use this lens for outdoor shooting, but i shoot a lot with this lens indoor as well, so it's wide aperture is really helpful especially in tricky/dark condition.

the latest fun i found from this lens is, it can create "the dog" effect - big head small body. i.e. shooting a person (half squad) on top of his head while he's looking up & funny pose. set the aperture smaller (higher f-number) so that the whole body is in focus. the end result is the head is bigger than the whole body as if it was photoshop-ed!!

yup how will D3000 perform?same as D60 just with some better feature only?no difference in image quality?

I think the D3000 is a much better deal at that price. The 11 point AF system used in the D80/90/5000 makes it a much better body than the D60/40/40X 3-point AF. Image and noise control I guess should be better but we will only know when we use it. Anyway for that price nothing much to complain.

Can get around RM900, and what cap u referring? Lens hood I assume And the answer is yes, it can snap on a lens hood.

its using the same sensor on the D60 right?

i think you better go for d3000, just add another rm200 you can get 11 AF point with extra 'guide' mode...
the picture quality would be the same as d60 as both of them use 23.6 x 15.8 mm CCD censor

may I know the price for D3000? cant seems to find out online.

d3000 - RM 2,288.00 (with AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR)
