seems like u nid lens for everyday shooting + occasional portrait
i suggest 18-105 + 35 1.8G

perhaps a 18-200 2nd hand if u r not picky about the sharpness

but for me i think u need a fast lens as u are using it for sports day

hurm okay guys....how about the sigma 18-200 os hsm ...and tamron 18-270 vc???

i rather get Sigma, their HSM is on par with Nikon's SWM
Tamron's AF motor darn slow
n only the 18-270 has VC, which is quite expensive
Sigma 18-200 has OS n suits your budget, abt rm1800+

waiting 4 u to bank in to me

i think the only other nikkor lens around that range n price is 16-85 VR, but feels like overpriced to me :S prefer 18-105 rm1.2k only

sigma 18-200 OS HSM, tamron 17-50/2.8 VC, 24-75/2.8

okay guys thank you very much im going to the shop now~~~

React really fast.

fast decision to buy good mah, if not later regret no buy

true2... later spend 1800 on other stuff... suddenly regret

fuhh... like me oso.. always tangguh2 to buy 35mm.. until now.. still dont decide either wanna buy 35mm f2 or f1.8... already ave 50mm 1.8.. worth to buy 35mm or not.. otherwise.. save my money until enough to buy 70-200 vr... hahaha..

sapu your fren rm800 Sigma 1.4 la
if not wait for 70-200 VR, worthy investment

wanna ask about D3000, is it normal if image processing speed for this dslr?it take 4 second to appear the picture, can help me?just bought this today,

what card r u using

Turn off the D-Lighting and it should be fine


Cheers

looks like same problm with D60, takes a long time for pic to appear
not too sure with D3000 though

D-lighting? not sure wat card im using, will check later, take to long to appear the image >.<

Active D-Lighting and noise reduction makes the pics longer to appear, cuz need more processing time

u can turn both off if u want. active d-lighting is pretty neat, but noise reduction i see macam no effect on my gf's D60

ooh, i tot got problem wit this camera >.<
thanks for da info

huhuhu... kena pikir betul2 before buy lol mr general nic.. tamo menyesal beli n always put inside dry cabinet..

^ Klau u tamau... I mau... LOL
The price is seriously cheap.
