run out stock for D60 ka? i think they'll gonna restock it with the new batch that comes with the 18-55 EDII and not the 18-55VR anymore...

so if anybody can get their hands on the VR version...go get it fast..

get D90 with kit lens... sometimes, u cant imagine wat kit lens can do for u until u fully utilize it... itz always a better investment to get a DSLR wit motor... u can use the lens even without AFS...

if u can afford, better get 1 with motor...more option for lens..

i was like you before.. i bought a D60 kit and sold off the kit lens and bought a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8... I felt in the long run that a D90 would be better for me.

again the decision is up to you. but u must also remember that D90 body and D60 body is different.

The main disadvantage comparing entry level DSLRs like Sony A200/A300 VS Canon 1000D VS D60, the D60 mainly looses in terms of having ONLY 3 focus points and no af motor built in for you to use older AF lenses. This is quite a disadvantage as AF lenses is cheaper and in the long run you would probably want to have AF lenses in your arsenal.

The good thing is that the high ISO noise control is better than a200/a300 and imo 1000D too.

Your understanding is not entirely correct.

Old lenses without AF ability are know as Manual Focus (MF) lenses. What this means is, no matter you mount this lens on any of the Nikon bodies that exists now, it still wont auto focus.

However, if you want to auto focus with D40/D40x/D60/D5000, you must use a lens that has built-in motor.

You must understand that for Nikon, there are 2 types of auto focus lenses. One that has built-in motor, one without. Nikon denotes their auto focus lenses with built-in motor as AF-S lenses and auto focus lenses without motor as AF-D lenses.

AF-D lenses can only auto focus with bodies with auto focus drive built into the body. Any Nikon DSLR apart from D40/D40x/D60/D5000 can auto focus with AF-D lenses.

18-105mm VR is a great kit lens... i personally tried it be4.... of coz u can do macro wit it... u can get a Raynox DCR250 to pair up wit it for some macro shot.... itz a cheap way to play wit macro for poor guy lik me... 

IIRC, itz around RM280... the Raynox DCR250 can fit 52mm-67mm... D90 kit lens should be 67mm... so it can fit it...

the filter will attached to the lens n raynox is on the filter...

i m jus interested to kno abt the price... 

waiting for your camera?where'd it go?

d5ooo also eh?

woot~ D90 0.o

same with me lor..
really2 a newb

D90 users invading?
lol 

previous d60 user here...

i think better go for d90 laa

got mine for rm3000...
wit 4gb card,uv filter,screen protector,bag,and tripod
think u can get cheaper price if ask around 

You can get two SB600 for the price of one SB900. SB600 costs around RM 780-800. SB900 costs around RM1600

The SB900 is more powerful and advanced but at the same time expensive, heavy and realllly big even compared to SB800.

The SB600 is less powerful & has less features but cheaper, easier to handle & lighter. SB600 can also do CLS with D90. can also spend money on TWO SB600 to do CLS...

I tried both SB600 and SB900 on a D90 but FOR ME, i find that the SB900 is more cumbersome because of the size and heavy for me in doing wedding shoots. Looking as that I can achieve what sb900 does on a sb600, i spend my money on a sb600 + sanyo eneloop batteries.

helo..
i'm newbie here..

Added on August 6, 2009, 9:33 pmif u kno how to utilize the flash, Nissin Di622 will perform good enough for u...

The bounce flash is so useful when u are taking indoor shot.

i think 3rd party speedlite would be good enough for me lol
