QUOTE(seather @ Jan 29 2012, 07:15 PM) if u don need VR... i vote 80-200... tested both b4... both produce same image quality IMO thats the most im worry about coz my hand is not tough as steel, just thinking that i must use fast shutter speed to avoid blur image with 80-200, if i can i dont want to burn all my money to buy vr1/vr2 just for VR thing..  |

QUOTE(sukhoi37 @ Jan 29 2012, 07:50 PM) if you are a full time professional by all means go ahead with VR2. im not a fulltime pro, just part time wedding photographer thats why im still thinking its worth or not to burn all my money for vr2..Otherwise you need to think thrice to before throwing in the money. |

QUOTE(Irbean @ Jan 29 2012, 08:10 PM) then u should answer it yourself. If you can grab the VRII, and get numerous wedding job, u still can gain the return from the lens. but its just my opinion, coz that's what i do rite now =) yeah thats what im thinking about, its time now when i feel that tele zoom is a must for wedding photographer, my picture is something missing without it.. |

QUOTE(gerald7 @ Feb 21 2012, 12:55 AM) tats a very nice lens. I have been using my 17-55 since 2009 till now. focus also still very fast and accurate... zoom is still very smooth. No problems other than changing the rubber rings ... TWICE.. Noted, will test as wht u sug  I would say check for focus accuracy and make sure the zoom is smooth as silk. gest |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Mar 2 2012, 10:30 PM) Try waiting for a while, D700 price might drop a little. But D700 and D7000... you basically gain and loose some stuffs. yeah thats wht im thinking about, loose video capabality on D700, even i rarely use video but i think its a must have stuff for newer body nowaday..D700 is a better DSLR for taking photo (FX sensor), but the D7000 is newer and has more bells and whistles such as 1080p video recording. |

QUOTE(ojtee @ Mar 2 2012, 11:03 PM) that was what I tought too, but I feel it is better to buy a dedicated vidcam to take videos, btw it doesn't take much skill to take good videos, just a good vidcam, yeah D700 2nd price is quite reasonable now, very tempting lol..should i upgrade? then comes along the D800 which will probably change how we do things.......damn , i gotta upgrade now....hehehe |
