I believe it is true as well. I can't seem to find a way to turn off the built-in motor inside lenses. I've heard the the body's motor AF is much faster than some lense's motor (not sure how far this is true).

To be fair, I have not come across a D3000 high ISO comparison against the D90/D5000. There is however a comparison by Uncle Ken on the D40 against the D5000 etc. The D3000 sensor I suspect is derived from the D60 sensor which is derived from the D40.

D40 High ISO Comparison

Should the built-in lens motor be better than in-body motor? Yes it should. In theory, the lens motor can be designed and optimized for the glass that it needs to move. Meaning big/powerful/fast motor for big glass elements, small cheaper motors for kit lenses. In body motor is one size fits all. The in body motor will have to work the lens regardless of its size.

The downside of in lens motor is the cost. Each SWM lens you buy have additional cost for the motor. If lens include VR, then the glass elements will probably have to be bigger to accommodate the movements required for VR. Bigger lens, bigger filters, bigger cost. If your start to buy a few lenses, these will add up pretty fast.

What happens if lens motor losak? Can still focus or the motor will jam up lens focusing? Wah. This I dunno coz I don't have any lens that have motor. But I'm pretty sure that my D lens can still work in manual focus mode.

Sorry guys, only I can get that price basically.

ye ke? aku pn br tau smlm ade org cite~!
kalau harge berpatutan, berminat la gk nk angkat

smlm tu br blk sahur la tu

i thought it cost a bomb..

too bad then..if possible to get the answer so that whether i can decide to choose to buy a normal lens or SWM lens.
if SWM lens motor faulty and still can focus using built-in body motor or vice versa mayb i'll directly to get the SWM lens.if it wun work i can directly to get the normal lens and eventually to save up my cost!!

*Bunyi mercun budak2 sini boleh bagi sakit jantung la!! Gila vavi punya kuat mcm meriam Zionis dah! Nak tegur kang, mak ayah dorg ade! Tak nak plak putus jari ke terkeluar bijik mata ke kasik insaf

Harga memang berpatutan dah. Cuma kena belajar2 la gadai cincin ke rantai ke motor ke (macam harga tak patut la pulak kan ?? ) Ala tak yah la PC PC ni. Apa kata kau kasik hangkat prime lens yg laju2 barang seketul dua baru bes. Tapi kalau kau dah mengidam PClens tu kira tak boleh buat apa dah la. Tak nak plak kau mengidam nangka ke cempedak ke ekk ?

Hahaha noooo. Costs about half a warehouse of mercun only.

like the way the light/shadows played out and compo (looked like a promo for a new gundam anime etc ... )
did you use remote flash or just normal lighting source?

guys I am getting my first DSLR which I made up my mind to be D90. I am a newbie so pls bare with me. Is it worth to get the 18-55mm instead of the standard kit lens 18-105mm? or any alternative lens that you can recommend? I read some comment that 18-55mm produce better IQ, need some input pls

Just get the 18-105, it's really a good kit lens with very good focal length.
