Got ghost. Not possible for D90 TWIN KIT set for RM1.8k, because there's NO twin kit for nikon dslrs.

Let me analyze for u...
1. D90 Body only new price = RM2400-2450 (if 1.8k for BODY only, already considered damn cheap)
2. D90 kit with 18-105mm lens NEW = RM3200-3300. (see, 1.8k is almost half price, and it's only one month old and 8gb card, not possible at all)
3. There's no nikon twin kit.

If he buy himself the lens it's memang not possible to be that cheap.. Just the 55-200mm already cost 900+, the body already 2k+, it's not possible to fetch as low as RM1800 unless he purposely want to rugi more than RM2000.

Find someone who at least know something and COD (NEVER DO POSTAGE WITH THIS) with him. Check is it really a Nikon D90 and nikon lenses. Even if it's 3rd/4th hand equipment it's also damn cheap.

Your white grey 70200 looks damn delicious =D

better not to spray any liquid on lens and filter, especially lens, it will damage the coating on the lens and when you wipe it off, might scratch the front element.

Better use a lenspen to clean. original lenspen around RM25 can be found in garage sales.

You mentioned 18-200mm lens, so it's a F3.5-5.6 lens right. This lens is meant for travel and all rounded lens, not a fast lens, so here's some basic tips about how to shoot low light with these lenses:

1. smaller aperture (lower F number, more light enters the lens)
2. use slower shutter speed (lower speed = brighter but more prone to shakes)
3. Pump ISO (more ISO = brighter, but more noisy).
4. Use flash (pop up flash --> more harsh flash, external flash gun more versatile)

Good combination of the things above will produce good photos even though it's low light.

There are many lenses good for low light but depend on your budget and criteria.

Primes have exceptionally good sharpness and large aperture (up to F 1.4) like 85mm 1.4 (RM4xxx) , 50mm 1.4D (RM9xx), 50mm 1.4G (1.8k?), 50mm 1.8(rm380-400). But fixed focal length.

Zooms with large aperture are normally very expensive. Nikon has 17-55mm F2.8 for DX (Rm5k+), 24-70 f2.8 (5.x k -6k?), 70-200mm f2.8 (7k+-).
Tamron also makes nikon mount for f2.8 zooms, e.g. 17-50mm F2.8 VC, 1.8k if not mistaken, but you pay wad u get, it focuses slower and sometimes quality control is not good.

So it boils down to your budget and need. For fast moving objects, it depends on your skill and how you focus the object. And depends on shutter speed too.

range vs low light, and VR vs non-VR, your call =S
If budget allows I definitely will go over the 24-70 XD

Is the flashgun really mounted properly on your hot shoes? Sometimes it's loose or the contact cannot detect the flash. Check whether there's a lightning symbol on the top LCD.

If I'm not mistaken minimum shutter speed for flash can be set, but I'm not too sure.

DX lens ah... If nikon brand, I would say 16-85mm F3.5-5.6. Sharp but expensive, RM2.x K if not mistaken...
If FX, maybe 24-120 F4 VR?

As far as I know Malaysia doesn't sell D300s in any kit, overseas might have. Here mostly D300s body only. Personally I have no experience to this lens, just heard from reviews.

Mine always at 1/60s =S
So I usually just use M mode, less hassle...

Oops @@ Forgot paiseh... Not within the 3k league =S

Err but F2.8 is more important IMO. Not sure about this, ask the pros =D
If I, i would keep the tamron.

EDIT: Non VC... Hmm maybe not.

Nikon Sb600 tried on my friend's 450D, working but no TTL, manual flash. But his 430EX II is not working on my D90...

Nope not yet try that, because I don't really know how to operate canon flash. the button so small and i dunno how to achieve the settings I want. If I happen to try that I tell you. But should be no problem because it's optically triggered i think.

Yea even if I have heck lots of cash now I won't be getting 70-200. I might get 24-70 or 16-35 F4. Buy what you need, not just buy what's the best.

But now I'm happy with my 18-105 cuz I don't shoot very frequent due to my university assignments etc... Maybe need another 50mm 1.8 just to cover low light.

BTW anyone going KLPF on sunday?

Hmm I will be going with friends to KLPF on sunday and maybe not going to aminangaki... Can't meet u then =S

If not mistaken (that's what I do on my D90) you can set the pop up flash to "--" mode or set the flash compensation for the pop up flash to lowest, SB600 will still be triggered but the pop up flash power is really low...

I did it with D90 + di622

Buy SU800, solves everything XD

Or PW etc like celciuz mentioned =D

5.5K for D7000kit is normal but BODY ONLY? I doubt so. I won't be more exp than D300s i think.
