....unless this guy sell half price la

actually i dont think i'll be going to a birdpark at all haha... im just trying to describe that's the range i want. the purpose is for travelling to shoot stuff that i cant get close to. yeah the 18-200vr would be best but too expensive..i can afford the tamron but scared hard to keep it stable since has no VR or whatever tamron calls it.

come to think of it, i guess i'll get the 18-105vr (wel not now lah, maybe in a few months) n sell the 18-55 no-VR. i imagine two lens is quite a hassle already (the other lens being a 35mm f/1.8). but if there's something like the aforementioned sigma 18-200 OS (is OS as good as VR?) for <1.2k maybe i can consider IQ as long as good in 1024x768 resolution (for flickr) enough already, no need for pixel peeping ;p

as i said, less than 1.2k

tamron 70-200mm wont have any VR/VC/OS/IS or any of that crap mumbo jumbo..yes,we do need a sturdy hand to keep it stable.thats why i love to used it during outdoor where the lighting is enough,thus a faster shutter is used..so,no need for the mumbo jumbo i mention earlier..

side track for awhile :- i bought my 70-200mm as a 2nd hand item priced at 2.4k..with a 10more months warranty from futuromic..if its a 1st hand,i wont spend 3k on it..But for the sigma,its outer coating wont last long..

i will consider first later i give u the answer 

u mean jz the kitlens or your D5000 + kitlens?

both..body n lens..huhu..

Why selling already? Upgrading?

Btw guys, which one do you think is better/more worth it.

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 

For me, I would go for the 18-200 unless you decide you need the video and the extra controls and the built in motor of the D90. My Nikon 18-200 has been left on my camera since I bought it a very versatile lens if you understand the limitations.

Ic. I think it would be perfect to own a 18-200. But built-in motor of the D90 means i can buy 50mm f1.4 at half the price and also the HD video is very tempting  I'm not in a rush though. Will survey kaw2 first Btw, what's the limitations of the lens? Can we see the distortion clearly at 18-24?

Although I use a D90, I can actually count with my fingers how many times I've taken video on it LOL.

Wide angle distortion is one of the limitations, the other is a "soft" spot somewhere between 100-135mm and I think you are also aware of the "zoom creep" problem. I'm not sure about you but for me I'm willing to accept these limitations as I gain the advantage of VRII stabilisation, a focal range from wide to tele without changing lens and AF-S fast auto focusing. Anyway look around for nice used ones. I bought mine used too.

if u get the 105mm scared later u miss having 200mm

Wow.. so many replies for my question... thx thx ^^

btw, is D90 a good buy if compare to D5000??

I'm afraid if i bought that D90 for a few weeks and yet another new model comes out and replace the D90...

What's the latest model for Nikon DSLR??

Newbie here, learning from nikon's sifoos

Well, if you have this kind of thinking it'll never end. Maybe when D90's replacement out, D90s/D90x then you're gonna say too pricey/wait for newer model.

My advise is get what you need now .
