hmm will try to ask my sis to get the black industry disgrace 4 me. i dont want to be a walking nikon advertisement

i want one tooo..too far from kl laaa..

The number of cross sensors in D300 is what I would like to have on D90

Tamron beats Canon 70-200 IS USM ?????? Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS USM is one of the best tele lens out there wo

thanks for the link ! it was very helpful. i've made up my mind, i will go with d300. the faster speed of d300 is what that fascinates me. thanks again

yup...seen the pics on a website comparing them ..sigma, tamron and the canon..the tamron wins overall in terms of IQ and price..but on the bad side, it doesnt have high speed motor, no VR/IS...

Guys, which one do you think is better/more worth it. I own a D3000.

Upgrade to D90 with 18-105mm kit lens OR keep my D3000 and buy a Nikkor 18-200mm lens?

I already have 18-55mm & 55-200mm but i hate changing lens

p/s: posted this in the D40 thread already, but just want to here opinions from D90 owners. Thanks

better upgrade to D90. better iso control

if you plan to only use and buy autofocus lenses like AF-S, HSM then u could stick with the d3000 but if you want to autofocus with older AF, AFD lenses, then D90 is for you. a good example would be the 50mm 1.8 which is cheap but excellent & can af on d90 body.

pros-
-d90 can use grip
-can af with af, afd lenses
-bigger body and better grip on it's own

I saw a post from Trade Free Zone. There is someone selling D90 with kit lens, Grip, Controller, SB600, 9 month old, shutter 3K++ for 2k! From Sabah. Im wondering why so cheap!

I just love the AF system of the D300. 51 AF points, and much more cross sensor compared to only 1 in D90.

Beware of scam, I've seen something similar else where too.

yeah..if in not mistaken...i saw a scammer selling d90...from sabah..i think that is the one..d90 body only 2nd hand pon cannot reach 2k...definitely a scam!!

only thing i dont like with the old d300 is the d-pad..there's no independent OK button..so accidental presses are a norm..d300s is refined and no more d-pad problem

Things that you do not like in your current setup?
1) Do not like changing lens...

Anymore?

If you change your system to D90 + 18-105, you will end up changing lens too isnt it?
If you do not need better noise control, better AF, i dont see a need to switch to D90 yet..

yeah...Sp00kY makes a valid point there.. if you want to reach 200mm..and dont want to change lenses..then get the 18-200VRii

haha, just trying to do some root-cause analysis hahaha....

again, what is missing in 18-200 VR as compared to 18-200 VR II?
VR II has a dedicated 'zoom lock'....anymore??
so, is it worth paying the extra $?
Buyer have to think think lo..

side track a while guys..want to ask u all..
if let say im thinking of selling my d200 with batt grip and full box.how much should i be getting??..and its sc is very2 little..about 15-18k only..

Yup... Make the point.
Anywhere, im thinking to upgrade some lens. Currently using kit lens. At first im plan to buy 35mm f1.8. But my friend suggest to get a flash first. Any idea for me? lolz

I would recommend getting a flashgun. it's fundamental in indoor shoots and portraits. Even outdoor shoots might need fill flash...

again, what do u shoot?
if indoor, i would recommend a flash because its super super helpful and makes ur picture super wonderful:) haha..
anyway, it depends on individual, if u want more bokeh then a prime will be more suitable...

im not suggesting to the buyer that he has to buy the new version.. both new and old 18-200 are VR2..

afaik the diff between the new and old version is around rm100+..unless the buyer wants to go for a 2nd hand which goes for rm 1.8-2k.
