I got mine for RM20 or RM22 can't recall, but I think it is easier to order since no need go around finding for it .

Not exactly a problem, but the metering is trying to meter that guy's shirt to 18% grey. Try shooting a white background, definitely underexposed since it will try to meter it to grey as well.

Same here, I prefer to use blower for the dust and all. Only using the brush for really stubborn ones and finally use the tip to make it shiny~ .

Send it to Nikon Service Center for repair. Probably don't need to pay for repairs since it is under warranty? (Not too sure on this part, no experience with the service center.)

A bit rare to see this lens having rubber issue, this lens is supposed to be tough built @@. Is this the one with nano coat?

Don't quite understand what you meant, changing body but lens remaining, or body remaining but you're using other body's kit lens?

Haha, initially I don't know how to do until my friend taught me. Just tell me your username at flickr or something and I can do the signature format for you. I don't really know how to explain well.

PM sent, hopefully you can understand what I'm explaining. I'm not good at teaching others.

18-55 VR is one of the best kit lens around , but all the other D90 and below kit lens are more or less similar.

5dmk2 went down to RM6800 from RM8800. 7D if not mistaken dropped a little only, RM300-500.

Didn't come with your purchase? Should be something included in every retail unit. Or maybe second hand?

Btw, RM98 from Shashinki.com,

I will go with Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 VC because of the fixed aperture. Besides this lens is pretty good and well known. Not to mention the latest VC has front focus issue. All my friends with 17-50 VC has front focus issue on their lens. If bokeh is your target, 17-50 f/2.8 bokeh won't be as good as the 50mm primes actually.

CaptureNX software need to use USB? Hmm, I always use CaptureNX when doing simple edits on my pics. Memory card reader all the while .

Mine's still in the box, never used before (Don't even know if it works or not .)

The same reason why I didn't use the USB for it.

Haha, mine has never tried before ._. Don't know working or not :S.

I would say most people whose starting photography looks at the megapixels first . Then sensor... since both D90 and D5000 has similar or is it the same?

I was with the megapixel thingy before this as well , but I ended up with D90 instead of 50D xD

D5000 inherits a few stuffs from D90. 11AF, 12.1 CMOS sensor, Expeed processor etc. What D90 has better than D5000 would be, high resolution screen (good for checking focus), twin command dials (don't need to access menu at all, you can rely on these 2 most of the time), built in motor (to use the cheap yet good 50mm f/1.8D and many other good lens), D90 comes with EN-EL3e instead of the lower capacity one with D5000, and of course you have the MB-D80 original grip option to use. Not sure if I missed any, these are what I have in mind for now.

About the ISO performance, this is something I'm not too sure about. Most review says they are either on par, or D90 is better.

Not sure if the link can be used or not, but D90 scores better under Low-Light ISO, the rest is the same.

Reviews are better than you in pixel peeping for sure .

Both same sensors, technically should not have differences . Unless slightly different noise reduction algorithms on the expeed processor.

Different, but I suppose the noise reduction algorithm should be somewhat similar too. Don't tell me go edit just for another model? :S.
