u can basically shoot anything at high quality by using a prime like 35mm f1.8.
the 18-270 VC is very nice as a all rounder multipurpose usage for travel ,landscape to portrait.

17-50 VC is also a good choice to replace the kit len as starter without spending for the 55-200.

high zoom are for snap shot / sports / animal shoots.

Dont buy a long zoom simply because u lazy to put yourself in good position to frame your target.

I would advice you to buy only the body alone and look for secondhand nikon kit lens just because alot of shop selling it in a set and the buyer normally will sell it real cheap in secondhand market in less than a month just to upgrades.
normally twin lens would be 18-55mm + 55-200mm in which they sell u the second 55-200 together with the package cheaper as if u buying the lens alone.

try nego for a cheap new d5000 body and then look around in garage sales for a lens that u want.

should consider for a 17-50 VC or a prime lens like 35mm f1.8 G or 50mm1.4 G ( both cost more than rm1500) which u ll upgrade eventually in the future Or u can scout for a all rounder lens like sigma 18-200 OS or the 18-270 VC that cover both the twin lens capability.

is d5000 only one with titl lcd and video? cuz it is kinda pricey. retail in msia is 2.8k rite? with 4gb?

hello guys... quite long didnt have internet connection haha... tongue.gif
d5000 and up all got video...but it's the only one with tilted screen smile.gif rm2.8k sounds about right

well if u're getting the D5000, the 18-55 lens is a pretty good start. if u want more zoom can get 18-105. quality is about the same. juz get the D5000 and either lens 1st...after a while u play2,easier 4 u to identify what lens do u want next.. maybe u want more range, or maybe u want a faster one... by then u can ask here again tongue.gif

so juz get 18-55 or 18-105 lens 1st...if rajin can buy D5000 body only then find 2nd hand lens at garage sales... for now juz spend money on trips to take photos smile.gif

thanks man. i have no idea bout lenses and stuff lo..what is 18 i also dont know lol..
i'll be back in kuching so yea,, not much deal back home there compared to kl..

Thanks for input guys..thinking to get from harvey norman since they got branch here too..maybe can make a deal cause when i wanted a laptop they say harvey's extende warranty can be used in back home too..i see most packaged only 1 lens compared here 2 lens..how much cheaper will the price drop say a year for the extra lens. Or best just for me to stick for 1 lens.thanks

And i should if filter right?
