17-50 f/2.8 is to replace the 18-55 kit isn't it? Unless you need than extra 5mm tongue.gif
*
maybe keep 18-55 for light weight usage? laugh.gif
btw, if get Nikkor 17-55 f/2.8 got 55mm focal range oso tongue.gif

It depends on the owner and what type of picture I expect to get when I go out shooting.
I have fast lenses (24-70,70-200) but I still use 18-105 on daytime as its light and flexible.
Means I always have to squat in front of my drybox to think what lens to take every time I go out.  tongue.gif
*
18-105 still advantage which is flexible mah
but if got 17-50/17-55 f/2.8 n 18-55, sure take the f/2.8 mah, so the 18-55 kinda useless, no?

D5000 better or D90 ler...

haihh..

low budget. if take D90 then nid to wait few more month..

but D90 got build in motor n with better spec right??

any 1 can tel me wat to choose?
*
both D90 n D5000 r using the similar sensor
they have the same or similar pics output, maybe D5000 with a little better in ISO performance
biggest difference is D90 having built-in AF motor, top LCD screen, bigger body, bigger n higher pixel LCD, dual command dial, availability of ori BG

QUOTE(ezrasang @ Apr 9 2010, 09:23 AM)
In terms of the price for lenses, Canon or Nikon, both are slightly the same. But bare in mind, Canon's lenses will not come with hoods, you need to buy it (Generel_Nic told me this).  rclxms.gif
*
eh, did i give salah info, my fren? tongue.gif
only their L lenses comes with hood, other normal lenses dun come with it
but Canon users always say the hood r in the price of L lenses d laugh.gif

That is correct, all Canon EOS has built in motor. Unlike us Nikon users have to get the higher end ones.

QUOTE(ezrasang @ Apr 9 2010, 06:16 PM)
hur? Then I was confused, I thought entry lvl Canon doesn't have AF motor. Then AFAIK all Sony have AF motor, don't tell me don't have ar?  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif
*
swt, Canon has AF motor on ALL their LENSES la sweat.gif
they uses a standard system, focusing mechanism on lenses
so ALL Canon bodies dun have AF motor in body, even the high end 1D/1Ds

wow, thanks for the suggestion man, they really are useful  wink.gif . Btw, running water is like a non-stop movement, for example like fountain or rain or even waterfall. The exact opposite of still photos. I really wanna capture the water fragments of those moments >_<;;
*
with your current lens is enuf to create the pic d
the rule to capture the movement of water is slow shutter speed smile.gif

thx ezra, no nid me explain long long anymore biggrin.gif tongue.gif

yes, BG makes big difference, important for comfortable n steady grip
but it decreases the portability la if thats wat u wan

@shadowshine
not really, cos the these 3rd party BG for Nikon entry levels cam very plastic n light built
1 reason is there's no complicated circuit boards inside the BG
even with 2 batteries in the BG, attaching a flash n 18-55 hard to balance d
heavier lenses will be worse
now with my sb900 n Sigma 50mm attached, i have hard time keeping the cam straight, it keep pointing down sweat.gif

Does a ori BG helps to balance up? smile.gif
*
question is, IF there is ori grip for Nikon entry level bodies
i tried holding D90 with BG n D300 with BG, the BG significantly increased the weight
can balance up to a point la, u cant expect any BG to balance the cam with 70-200 attached rite? sweat.gif

ezrasang: nice explanation. btw, silver_de_gene is a girl. haha.. anyway, i dont have a big hand and my pinky sits nicely on the body. my concern for bg is taking picture vertically. it feels so uncomfortable taking picture vertically. i always tend to avoid taking pics in V position coz my pic will appear blur. right hand feels tired. how much is a bg for d5000 cost? is phottix bg good? i think it's less than RM150. do i have to buy extra battery for bg?
*
Phottix is definitely good enuf
rm150? r u sure u din mistaken the BG for D40/D60/D3000?
cos D5000 BG has wire to attach to body in order for vertical shooting
if im not mistaken shud be rm200+
u can still use the BG with 1 battery, but its worth to get an extra battery too

ic, means price have dropped
i bought mine at rm230 after nego 99 frm rm270 last year July sad.gif
ya, mine have wire attached too

not really, but it depends on ppl's peference actually
like some hate the look of the wire sticking out so they get the D40/D60/D3000 grip instead
but i dun mind the wire as it provide the function of a real BG

depends on u prefer looks or function

oh. so without the wire there's no vertical function is it? i dont mind the look. what i mean is the wire sticking out wont be a trouble for us to take pic. like an extra wire at the camera
*
ya, the wire wont give any trouble when shooting
u'll get used to it sooner or later
