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. smile.gif

Perhaps you are right maybe I should get the kit lens first to play then later upgrade, I've read some suggestions about Tamron 17-50mm lens used one I see selling around RM1200, but I was wondering is it worth if I straight away top up for a better used lens?

hey guys....urgent question....
u know last time there was this guy who use gigapan and got a huge huge panorama of obama's inauguration. and then u can zoom in the pic and then move left, right, up, down like google earth like that. the point is, gigapan website hosts his image and so he can embed it on his website.

now, i have some panorama which i wanna upload to my blogger website. just wondering, is there any FREE ways where i can do it so that my viewers would be able to zoom in close to see the details and not just view it as a normal big picture?

Guys, need your opinion here. cry.gif

Bought the D90 on saturday just 1 days + ago, test a shot with the lens cap on and I notice a hot pixel at the LCD (not the sensor), its located upper right of the image display but not directly on the image so does not affect the image preview. It is not noticeable in the day but at night when view the LCD can see it, especially those shots taken with low light. What you guys think, should I send it back or live with it? Called up j one, I was expecting a one to one exchange. but the boss says he can help to send back to Nikon service center and should be quite fast. I am thinking if like this how long it will take if send back to Nikon, coz I will need to use it over thise few weeks?

Opinions Opinions Opinions...
