To sum it up...when you buy an SLR camera... you are buying into the SYSTEM not just the body. So...we must also take into account the cost of the lenses, flashes and accessories.
How was the KLPF ?

Just bought D5000 as my first dslr. Not really worried about the faulty power issue as I guess most of the shops already "cleared" those stocks from the shelf. Still learning the right setting for each shot. Grains are visible with ISO1600 and above.

Overall: good image quality, many image retouch features, good grip with solid feel, fast AF, surprisingly easy to use.

the d90 kit lens 18-105VR... the previous tamron 1750 2.8 built in motor slow..i've missed a lot of important shots with that slow lens...

even the 1855VR/18105VR has a faster focus lock..trust me i know 1st hand.

hmm.. thanks dude, this lens is out from my wishlist tongue.gif

My recommendations :

1. Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 HSM
2. Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 HSM
3. Older model of Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 without motor - No new ones anymore (Will NOT af on d5000/d60/d40 bodies)

If you're interested in the older model of tamron 1750, you can still find people selling it 2nd hand. The major concern of buying this lens is that most of the made in china version and some of the made in japan version have back/front focus problems and you need to fully test it with a focus test chart and also on your own to make sure that you're getting a good copy of the lens.

what about the tokina 16-50 f/2.8?
that's also a good lens

What do you have in mind? I say this because the cheaper Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 performs much better than the more expensive Nikon AFS 12-24 f/4.

Maybe Sigma 10-20mm?

ya, the tokina 11-16 & the siggy 10-20 is currently in mind battling each other.. laugh.gif even the price is about the same.. still researching to find which one better.. sweat.gif

D5000 product recall.

Very upset as i bought it last week at Gadget World. Not sure if this product under nikon malaysia warranty. I tried calling gadget world service centre but no answer. Now not sure if i had bought an AP set.

Lesson learned always check the warranty card from where.

Make sure they give proper receipt. mine looks like pasar malam.

If got time will go there latter.

u mean they dont even gave u a receipt? doh.gif

Hand written receipt? Actualy some forumers mentioned before we should get 3 warranty slips and should ask whether the warranty is from Nikon Malaysia or not. I just followed lah. So far so good...

actually the warranty itself is computer printed, with the shop's name (stamp)
