AFS lens.

Nikon lens with motor, name always include "AFS"

Nikon sifu make FAQ la. easier for beginner.

24-70 good stuff.

17-55 no VR, but still very very good lens

To cover 17-55 i rather use a 50mm prime and wide angle, 24-70 is good.

My point is, since a standard system will definitely include a wide angle lens, may as well, get 24-70 and 70-200 + prime, instead of getting 17-55. This apply to DX too.

17-55 is good, but for me, i rather spend that money for 24-70. But, if one have cash to burn, not a problem at all tho.

Since i no money to buy either, lets wait for 17-55, 24-70 VR, who knows they might release it soon.

This one seems good, F4 is sharp, not the girl F4 please.

well, to clarify, 17-55 is very good lens, i use it before. Like it

But if budget limited, i would rather spend on 24-70 and get wide angle to cover the wider length.

17-55 is not wide enough, especially on DX. One will still need at least 10-24. So instead of getting 10-24, 17-55, 70-200 which is overlapping and missing the length between 56-69mm, i would rather get 10-24, 24-70, 70-200.

Just my opinion. for lens planning.

On VR, VR is a plus for bth of the mentioned lens.

As for either 1755 or 2470 first, depends on needs I guess.

Hahaha I like the flash answer.

But if flash nt allow. Then VR will be handy.

There's a lot of if, better than none imo

D4 and no need to crazy pump iso.

D400 = My aim. BBB

What event? Can share? Wanna join. Let's go

ok. he cool

Well, i have been telling ppl this. One must choose between system first, either Nikon oR Canon or Sony, one cant just choose a camera system based on 2 camera spec. If 550d indeed better, does it make Canon better than Nikon in your context? Probably no.

It really depends to many factors, at least those simple factors, you got anyone, friends / relatives using DSLR, if yes, what system they using. You may want to use the same system so that u can 1) get their advice / teaching 2) share u lens 3) same wave length, 4) wont Argue about which system better (hahah) and some more technical stuff like lens availability, reputation etc. Canon vs Nikon comparison is all around the web.

IMO choose the system first then only pick the model.

No doubt if u pick Nikon, D5100 will be a good entry model. build in Motor, not the biggest concern, One get what u pay, D7000,which is the better camera and with build in motor also come with a more hefty price.

For starter, D5100 is good enough. Because at this time, one might not even sure if they really wanted DSLR, maybe M43/PNS suit u better. So no point making haste purchase for the best then sell your DSLR at garage section.

Just my 2 cents

If im new starter buying D5100, i rather buy body only and get 50mm1.8g (around RM650)

With 50mm 1.8g, its way sufficient to start.

Well, just my preference. Since i like streetphotography

Ya

Its like this:

Motor (M), Body (B), Lens (L), Autofocus (A), Yes (Y) / No (N)

BMY + LMY = AY

BMN + LMY = AY

BMY + LMN = AY

BMN + LMN = AN

Lens with AFS infront = LMY

Old 50mm D = LMN
New 50mm g = LMY
AFS 18-55 Kit lens = LMY

So if D5100 = BMN
Because 18-55= LMY

BMN + LMY = AY


ok, i do this because im boring,

Well, why blur the important part which i want to see?

hahahahhaa

40mm not good enough for real macro shot i believe, the new 40mm macro lens is suitable for maybe, food

I'm no sifu, but 18-200 seems suits u a lot.

Got what to shoot? Showgirl?

Added on September 9, 2011, 10:07 pmI always scare that i will whack my lens, so im at least attached my lens with lens hood most of the time.

I dont have any UV / protective filter for my lens, which make me a bit worried too.

Should i?
