thx guys for the feedback. i alridi have a fixed lense in my mind, which 18-105. so even the d3100 does not have built in auto focus, it's okie for me.

wit my criteria and a newbie, does it mean that D3100 is better for me? as long as

D3100 (light body) with 18-105 lense (heavy) combination is ok?
Both D90 and D3100 with ISO3200 take night pics nearly the same output quality?

yea ka? some camera shop owners tell me that at iso3200, D3100 noise control is worse than D90 and overall output quality also worse than D90. wanna confirm on this point.

I will update you tomorrow about the picture with ISO 3200. so you can judge yourself.
anyway never listen to sales man, they are tricker they just want to take your money as much as possible. (Like what they did to me)

D90 is better ergonomic + better control + AF motor inside + got commander mode + better support given (you have battery grip available etc etc) - old model (been there 2 years plus). <- consider that
where as D3100 smaller size + HD recording + the latest sensor and processor + new model. <- do consider that as well

I own a D90 with 18-105mm kit lens.
I've been hunting for a telephoto lens for a very long time and ended up with nothing.
I mainly photograph birds.

Should I:
1. sell the 18-105mm and get a 18-200mm.
or
2. keep the 18-105 and get a longer lens?
I'm facing difficulties as most of the telephoto zoom are in the range of my 18-105mm (eg 50-300, 70-270), and i feel that would be a waste.
Any lens to recommend?
Budget would be +-RM4k or less.

How good is "Bigma"? the 50-500mm sigma lens. It's almost RM5000, is it value for money?

wow, thx dude for the comparison. seems like iso1600 is the best result here.

Lighting also plays a big role in "noticing noise" lar

Guess what ISO is this shot at?

looks neat! is it good?

hello guys.

can your tell me the pros and cons of buying Nikon D90 and D7000.
which one is the best for a beginner such as myself?.

A friend of mine told me D90 have a motor inside it that makes it compatible with lens that have no motor.

does D7000 also have this feature?.

thank you really much for your help here.

so it is safe to say that anything that is inside of D90 is also available inside of D7k ?.

hahaha...
just making sure before i decide to buy and regret it later on.
thank you very much!!.
