QUOTE(shinjun @ Apr 13 2010, 09:31 PM) Upgrading to D90 not all about the focus motor la, it offer more value in terms of ISO performance, commander mode to trigger wireless flash, bigger body for better gripping, better control (more shortcut button and top screen), and the lists go on. but d90 is so much heavier and bulkier...haha |

ya 18-200 is consider as wide to telephoto...
but d3000 is APS-C sensor...so u need to consider 1.5x crop factor... ur actual focal would be 18*1.5 = 27mm....haha...not really wide but still acceptable la... i would consider sigma 18-250mm OS...it got quite good review and selling 2.2k if nt mistaken... Added on April 15, 2010, 4:20 pmbut most of the time i wont use 250mm i think...prefer to shoot wide all the time... This post has been edited by smokey: Apr 15 2010, 04:20 PM |
