haha...i am not sure about compact coz i dont own one...so far those i have seen among my friend,not good...
well,can i know why u need the zoom?? what pic mostly do you take??

haha...to catch water fish that doesn't know there is a price drop on D90...

i used to take pictures of my friend's model kits, but now suddenly i have this deep interest of taking pictures of bugs/animals and also running river/fountain and probably and beyond

1)if take bug pic, i would prefer micro lens ea: tamron sp90, AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED
if animal,are you capturing animal like lion,tiger those?? or bird?? there are different categories for them,AFAIK for bird shoot, u need at least
400mm..if normal animal like cat and dog those,i think 18-105 if enough...

2)what is running river mean?? sry for my poor english

i guess 18-105 is sufficient for you !! not too expensive !

wow, thanks for the suggestion man, they really are useful . 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

golbeza: 1st, you still love your kitty lens? If yes, then add 1 more lens, which is 55-200mm, about RM900.
If you don't love your kitty anymore, then go for 18-105mm, about RM1.2k.

Agreed... the lenses are much cheaper in garage sale.

i thought fotokem is expensive? last time they quote me quite expensive for d3000


@ mv fotokem .
2molo going to kl , find best friend , then sambil sambil go hunt flash ,

Boeing , Tarita or which shop is most recommended?

So many want to upgrade... later this thread no people...

i plan to sell my 18-55 for 18-105 but a lot of ppl telling me that 18-105's performance is not compitable with 18-55

http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/18-105mm.htm

what u guys think?

any d5000 out there with battery grip? is battery grip helpful in taking picture vertically?

cant get what you mean? you want mean the 18-105 Image Quality is worse compare to 18-55?

YES IT DOES!
and your DSLR will look cool with bg

happy birthday bro^^

fcuk90: according to the article, 18-55 is better than 18-105. that is what holding me back from replacing my 18-55 with 18-105.

faiz92: yeah man.. i'm thinking the same about bg. but i dont want to spend something that doesn't benefit me.

general_nic: if i'm not mistaken, u have a battery grip with d5000 right? how does it feel with ur d5000 with bg and without? big differance?

i found a place selling nissin di622 at RM420 brand new with 1 year warranty. is this the cheapest or there's cheaper than this?

faiz92: what lens are u using?

fcuk90: my friend told me that the shop is in digital mall ground floor. i'm buying one mid of the month. of course i need the range, but if the quality is not as good i might as well save more for 55-200 or 18-200.

*Let me reply for him, as a real life buddy who always plays his D5000 with BG on, these will be my opinions*
One of the majors different is the gripping itself. To most of us (not everyone) without a BG, our pinky finger will be standing outside while holding the body, don't you feel very uncomfortable? To me, yes, very uncomfortable, especially holding it for a long time.
Next, I think I don't have to ask, but, do you wanna tilt your hand to capture vertical pictures for a long time? It's kinda pain, sometimes.
Lastly, imagine SB-900 is attached.
Conclusion, get a BG, it rocks! Seriously.

Well, I'm expecting Nic to reply as well
