I'll go for D3100 anytime if choice is between D5000 and D3100! Body more or less the same, just D3100 has newer sensor.

And maybe the D3100 cost lesser?

Don't know mine is brass or what lol.

Mine's the XS-Pro, RM300 for 77mm.

I'm thinking about that too.... But abit scared about the distortion of picture.... anyone can explain on this?

Quick technical question yah, any way to reduce or eliminate glare when shooting into direct light source? Tried shooting the moon yesterday but there is lil bit of glare....

I think XS-Pro is Alloy, and F-Pro is Brass.

With the D3100, D5000 and D3000 price will drop like hell...
As well as 550D and 500D

Remove your filter. If filter already removed and still flaring, its your lens. Nothing you can do about it other than upgrading to the better lens. Those Nano coat is designed to reduce flare.

Thanks for the response......removed the filter and glare's till there......using the 55-200.....looks like i gotta live with it and try not to shoot directly into light source.....

No choice, live with it. That is contributed by your lens. Better lens have better flare control.

all talk about d3100 liao, d3000 user boleh ki tepi sudah T.T

iono, dpreview reviewed it and it doesn't seem that bad. Just moderate barrel distortion. I think it's still acceptable?

Plus, Photoshop can correct mar... XD

Why worry your D3000 will be outdated... When everyone was using D90, D5000, i was using the old but good D40. 5 years old model. Doesn't mean better gears shoot better photos.

You make me sad...

photoshop can correct 1? how? but the distortion will only occur if we shoot too close right? please correct me if i'm wrong

+1

My personal sifu which toke me into photography world always said.

Good gears doesnt mean good photo's, you should be proud when you can produce better pohots than those who can't with better gears.

YES YES YES!!!!!!

Can can, go Filter>Distort>Lens Correction

I think, it's fixed in every lens depends on the optics? I don't think shoot far or close will affect it. It's kinda only visible when you shoot a scene with perfect straight lines.

Just my limited understanding on it, not so sure, better ask the pros. Hahaha

agreed .

still 18-55 are capable to produce nice pic toooo

Have to agree on this. The kit lens is worth every penny you paid

Yea, although I sometime get kinda sick of the 55mm limit, but it's still a good kit lens. Lightweight and compact.
