hi , greeting to all sifus. I'm planning to get a new D90 in next two days. I'm newbie with limited budget (<4k) , hence require advices from you all. a) Is the original D90 come with international warranty? I've call up Nikonian & they told me their product is under international warranty. I prefer international warranty as going abroad in next 2 month.
b.) which lense should I choose? 18-105mm kit lense or 35mm /f1.8 if I prefer to shoot people in the natural scene?
c.) Assume that the body + lens cost abt 3.3k, i still got 600++ to spend with remaining stuffs. What else should I get? - Phottix Titan Premium Series EN-EL3e battery ? is it recommended or should i get Nikon original? - What brand of UV filter should i get? - Others?Many thanks! Have a nice day!

Thanks for the prompt reply. So i better go for the standard kit lense , uv filter & additional battery only. I seldom take indoor photography so not really need a flashgun. QUOTE(SkyBlue99 @ May 22 2010, 01:01 AM) a) D90 body comes with local warranty only. lens international b) 18-105mm cause the 35mm might make u have to work v hard in composition c) dun spend on things u dun need. if u are always taking indoor photography in low light condition, consider a flashgun instead

haha...not kepo le  bro Sky. By the way, I get confused again....pls help. gf just told me she got an old lense Sigma 28-105mm f2.8 and want me to get 35mm / f1.8 instead of the standard 18-105mm kit lense. Is it a good idea? the 18 - 105mm serves same function as the 28 - 105mm? Thanks again! QUOTE(SkyBlue99 @ May 22 2010, 02:11 PM) maybe.. im just being kepo

Yes, totally agree with you. Will get the extra card after purchase of this baby....considering the di622 too..haha. Thanks for the advice! QUOTE(SoLiD @ May 22 2010, 02:45 PM) actually if u shoot from morning - late better u get extra sd card... 4gb sd card will only hold 200+ raw files... long before you even exhaust one battery charge... for the extra 600 you can either invest it in battery + sd card -or- invest in nissin di622 flash gun -or- invest in 50mm f/1.8d
