Mannn, I also love Canon printer!!
That new model with intelligent touch system (MG8170) tempted me to the max!!

No doubt the built quality of the L lens is amazing, not saying that Nikon is bad .. Well u cant go wrong with Nikon nor Canon la, both are good cameras anyway... anyway we are here to discuss Nikon not to bash Canon

The failure of their product differentiation is only a recent phenomena. So we'll see the coming near futures. The competition now between the big 2 is getting ever so intense because of what Canon did to their entry-level dslr. Nikon offers more value for money now.

opsss sorry to interrupt...the lens control the bokeh??or the aperture control the bokeh??

No one is bashing their products, just their marketing. Their L lens build quality is really amazing. Nikkor is too.

More competition=more price cuts which is good for consumer like us, but that only happened on DSLR body not on lenses

Eh guy , currently there are a few options come in my mind

I wan a wide angle zoom len for DX body , i will stick to DX for quite long but i wan to change to a better DX body soon. and want to start fund for N len before move to FX.

First i was thinking tokina 11-16 f2.8 , but too bad i cannot auto focus using my current body now

1) Sigma 8-16mm f4.5-5.6
2) Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC
3) Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 OS HSM
4) Suggest me nikkor as well

I keep asking myself whether f2.8 is important , yes it is important for me , but how do you all think ?

I need wide angle to shoot environmental portrait , adding drama to people , something like shooting people doing their works..

thanks for guiding me !

Would like to see more of such competition for FF and FX. Then the bodies of FX would drop like dead flies. Yay!

Price keep dropping also no one will buy. You wanna see your camera which is bought today price drop on the second day?

SPAM, just shot today XD

the wider aperture lets you blur the background so that your subject(people in your case) can stand out more. Also, it would come in handy in low light situation where you doesn't need to bump so much on your ISO.

If you can, find a cheap used nikkor 17-55.

Nikkor > siggy 17-50 > tammy 17-50
Never tried the siggy 8-16 before

The FF are all semi pro or pro bodies, they do proper RnD on them and they are to last.

The entry level however are their playground to test market~

i would like to see cameras bought by everyone else price drop on the second day then I'll go and buy

Of course that would never happen, just hope the price would be like handphones. Just keep dropping dropping dropping.

Not to say im too rely to VR technology, but it is w/o VR. Maybe edward can try to give me some advise since he just sold his 1755mm.

But there's more and more rich kids nowadays. You never know one day all of them fell in love with dslr. Look at the kids with Macbook Pro, iPad,Iphone 4, Ipod nano, buy honda the second day they got their p license.

If this rich kids around the world would go and buy some FX I'm sure the price would be more reasonable.

but i enjoy the life i poor now lol , if i rich i think i would waste many of my parent's money , end up become prodigal

Yeah, that's what happening to those kids with rich parents nowadays.
Let's enjoy our life as just some ordinary people.

BBuser, you should let people know your budget too so they can suggest you something better or the best for your budget and your needs.

D700 is good enough for me, won't change body in at least another few years, just need to add more lenses

nice it is fun to lookat macro shot...

My budget 2k-5k
