To me, its not properly focused or your S too slow.

are u using at its tele end? 200mm?
if yes then thats the problem....the lens is soft at the tele end...=)
u need 70-200 f2.8 then! =)

let me check the price near 6k woh....

need ah long long to help me get this lens liao

This one sounds like rich man talk only.

Kekeke... So, 18-200VR also gonna get same problem what...

Ha! Ha! 6k on lens camera body less than RM1.5k.

Had reserved one D40. Will collect it on wednesday. Hope can learn more from Sifu here.

Do post some of your shots here.

BTW, where i can get the UV filter and Screen protector at reasonable price???

is like tat 1 la.. When u use D40/40x then u will feel not worth to get the 70-200 f/2.8

Saw a pretty girl bought screen protector for her 40D in J One the other day. Costs her RM80 for 2 pieces. 1 for the LCD, the other one for the top LCD.
May be what u can ask is... what brand of filter to use... Hoya?
So, when got D300, its not worth to get 18-200 but 10-20, 50mm f/1.4D, 70-200VR, what else? He! He!

What I know is... I only can afford D300 + 17-200VR.

D300 + 12-24 + 24-70 + 70-200..

thats is exactly how i felt when i only had my d40...
then after upgrading....
i feel guilty using cheap lens on d300...
hahahahha...

Alamak... You choose all the genggeng lenses la. All kill my wallet one. Somore worse, the camera is to take family photo only.

So, what lens you have now?

then u have to use your flash. Manual flash is needed when do birding. ttl can but result not nice. try more and pose here.
for the sharpness my 18-200vr and my other vr lens also not sharp if the bird not close enuf..dont worry i tried so many time already. need 600mm vr

lastly try to keep ur shutter speed @ 1/200 n above if u shoot @200mm.
