I have no idea why the 1st seller seems giving the lowest price in garage sale.
is he selling local set or grey set?

I think the price is around 1.5k please do check it on LYP.

Leica M series? I am not sure about this1 tough. since I didn't own it

I prefer D3100.

can as well consider D3100/any other model + 18 200 Nikkor. <- I bet a way better compare to Tamron

awww.. don't be like that lar bro..
I found out 550D ISO performance is worse to D3100.
yesterday test it out with my friend 550D, I guess it's because the sensor size.

come la jump ship to nikon hahaha..
just my 50 dollars tough

if you are videographer go for 60D.
else go for 7D, budget problem? 550D.
else 1000D will serve you right as well.

it's like a free monopod. Yay!

550D is a way better to D90. what is your preference? canon/nikon?
550D is a good way to start your photography journey. however there is D7000 from nikon you can take body only + 50mm 1.8 if you like.
60D is very good for video making.
else you can have D3100 in your consideration

I believe you will forget about your kit lens when you have 17-50mm tamron.
forget about tamron 70-300 its IQ sucks. IMHO
get the proper lens. what is your budget and your purpose anyway?

I will go for D7k at anytime.
if I have the budget of course.

I said IMHO <- In my humble opinion.
I played with it on futuromic and it doesn't please me. so what?
should I lie and say it is a very good lens??

anyway if I am using Nikon I'd just go for these two by top up a little bit. instead of Tamron.
Sorry for acting harsh. I am just expressing my opinion.

I purpose a better lens with a decent price for you. please refer to the edited post above.
anyway I am not saying I am sifu or whatsoever.
but believe me, by having touch with those two lenses and tamron you know what will serve you at best.

I doesn't mean want to giving a bad influence to 70300 tammy.
but for me *again* for me 70300 tammy is not a good tele lens. <- this makes me wrote "IMHO", do get a better IQ lens.

not to act cocky or whatsoever. I know people want the cheapest lens to serve them best.
however IMHO in term of value of money tamron rocks. but performance-wise.
not to say I dislike tamron.
tamron 1750 rocks! a very good value of money and still give you good IQ.

anyway no hard feeling dude. seriously

So you own Nikon system?
for those body which has AF system I purpose.
scenery, buildings = 18-55 Kit lens is good enough. however as you own kit lens 18-105mm I believe it will serve you just fine.

portraits = 50mm 1.8 Nikkor. else 50mm 1.4 if you don't have AF on your body. if you don't mind with third party lens go for 50mm sigma 1.4


or you can spend your budget by buying tammy 1750 and get 50mm 1.8..
but I doubt you will use your 18105 again. if that case.

I don't see a need of 'tele' lens yet. based on your purpose of shooting.

it depends. for me as I own 1855 kit lens. and quite adaptable to its range. I don't need tele lens.
However if you do find you use tele often I suggest you to top-up a little bit and get one of these two lenses.

intead of 70300 tammy.
I don't think it is good to own 1750 and 70300 tammy. by looking at the range you will loss 20mm zoom range which is within 50-70 which is more practical to use compared 300mm.

for me 200mm is actually enough IMO.

I heard a lot of good review and comment about them, as for me since I just test it out on BTS I found it quite good.
anyway for the further inquiry you can ask sifu(s) like CY or KTCY in Nikon thread.

With 2k budget you can get DSLR if you don't mind.
well DSLR is digital camera as well right?

with both you wouldn't go wrong. 550D to be better. wait for next month or next two month till the shipping for 600D it will even please you.

are you getting body only or with kit lens??
yup, 600D is the replacement model of 550D

wait and get 600D. it will please you in the long run

there is no the best.
is it true that canon can capture pictures in low light condition better that nikon.? No.
Depends on the model not the brand.

D3100 is the best for 2k budget.

you might want to consider the upcoming 1100D or 1000D Canon

Not to say it is expensive to change the lens. but it has no AF in the body. therefore you have to use the AF motor from the lens.
like the newer model of the lens. this called AF-S. therefore this D3100 model can only use AF-S lens, else you will lose your auto focusing.
and usually AF-S is more expensive due better optical, and more accurate focusing, better built-in, yet it focus slower compared to previous AF model.

60D is a very good DSLR camera with video making however if you don't mind waiting a little bit 600D is coming out.
as for the budget I don't think you can get 60D + kit lens + good speedlite for 3.5k budget correct me if I am wrong
