i mean cant compare with sony coz sony just started the dslr market...while nikon have already in the market for many year than sony...
one more thing,sony doesn't just produce dslr...they make other thing as well,so is hard for sony focus on dslr market...

y is that so?? because we using sony sensor?? or what??

not sure about who exist first
But i know Minolta is a big player in SLR, Sony just buy the company and produced alpha.
Imagine sony buying nikon over = Sony Nikon brand lol.

everyone's recommending the D90

Ok guys, can someone help me with the best street price for this as kit ( 70 - 105 mm , is that rite ? ) and with genuine warranty pls..... and whereabouts ? cheers fellas

its a 18-105mm VR lens for the d90 kit.
Market price is around rm3300, just go to the nearest place
around your area. No point going for a cheap so far away
to scout for the price, if its too expensive then just go kl area
just make sure its nikon warranty.

D90 is a very popular model among Nikon users due to the features

The kit lens is 18-105mm VR.

its around RM3300 ~ RM3400. u can try Digitalmania & YL Camera, Pudu Plaza.
D90 kitlens is 18-105mm ...

D90 really nice.. I affraid later new version come out~

there is no nid to affraid...if keep afraid..then no nid buy liao loh..
now canon drop price..then shud we affraid that nikon going drop price too and wait for the price drop?? what if later no drop price and instead,nikon rise the price...

So far there's no specification rumors on the replacement yet, don't worry so much about it! Besides, if you're budget is RM3.3k now, when the replacement comes out it won't be RM3.3k anyways and would be out of your budget. Unless you're prepared to pay the new price for the replacement then it is worth waiting.

rumours has it that D90 & D700 replacement model will b launch this year...

for me, i think not really worth to buy thing tat's just launch,
bcoz the launching price sure is very high, and there will be a drastically price drop later.. (juz like D90, from Rm4500 drop to Rm3300)

and i also don't want to be the white mouse,
i prefer to wait for review of the product, and user comments,
then only decide buy it or not.

D90 launched at 3900+ then went to 4000+ then now 3300+.

RM4699 was the retail price, but not the usual street price.

Shooting the moon takes lots of tries and practice. You have to mess with the Shutter and Aperture in M mode

Here's mine during last month



Aperture: f/7.1
Shutter: 1/250
Focal Length: 200mm I only have 55-200, so that's the max that I could zoom
ISO: 200 and Handheld

Cheers

this year...could be 31 dec 2010...lolx...all the while is just rumour...dont trust 100%...

Still so long .... If want then just buy DSLR and enjoy~

havent try shooting the moon yet
very nice sharp moon shoot u got here

haha.. I still can wait...in the mean while play with my D5000~~

just came back from HN after getting a feel for the D90 , D500 and Canon 500 Out of the 3, the canon seems to be the lightest one followed by the D5000 and D90 . Not a big deal but worth a comparison i thought.

Guys, I was reading bout " AF Servo " feature and apparently on a Nikon it is engaged by switching the focus mode to " Continuous ".

Now, I know that the D90 has a in-body focus motor, is that the same as AF Servo and since the D5000 lacks this, would I loose the " continuous " AF mode ? IF not what do I loose by not having this focus motor ?

thanks

D5000 has AF-C as well, which is continuous AF. Only thing different is it can't AF with lens like 50mm f/1.8D which is driven by the body's screw motor.
