QUOTE(kevyeoh @ May 12 2009, 05:18 PM) yeah...me going to get SB600 since many ppl recommended... LOL. There will be huge difference between these two lenses. You can't compare them both and of course the f/2.8 fare better. maybe i can start shooting and then post up the pics and ask what went wrong with my shots... boy oh boy.... now very excited dee....hehe... alpha dude, can post some pics with tamron lens that u bought? and maybe post pics using the normal kitlens... i wanna see the difference between 18-55 kitlens vs 17-55 f2.8 tamron... thanks... |

QUOTE(kimurastanley @ May 12 2009, 11:00 PM) oh, cant imagine Nikon change the kit lens for D60.. I would rather choose a better lens than a leather bag.May be the cheaper price of the lens is compensated by the more pricey leather bag, so the price is still the same |

@General_Nic.
Pictures are nice. But I think composition can be improved. Especially the 3rd picture. |

QUOTE(heLLtuRt @ Jun 13 2009, 09:53 AM) guys,need some opinion here... I will suggest you to go for the D40. A good entry level dSLR, and definitely worth every penny. Save up to get a lens or perhaps SB 600 too! i'm planning on buying nikon dslr by the end of this month, and my budget is around rm1600 - rm2000, so i'm thinking of d40 / d60. which one is better for a beginner like me? pls help  |

Anyway, how much you bought the SB 900?sometimes nid shoot subject far away... maybe i shud get the cheaper(or cheapest?) zoom lens, 55-200mm VR?

QUOTE(kimurastanley @ Jun 16 2009, 02:38 PM) HDR effect cant be overused. Some photos are not suitable for HDR effect, if not will ruin the photo. Bro, saw you using SB 600! How does it fare? |

QUOTE(kimurastanley @ Jun 16 2009, 02:46 PM) sb-600 is enough for me. if u want more powerful flash and extra functions, then go for sb-900 How about comparing it to 3rd party flash? SB 600 worth it? |
