get the 450D...second hand d90 with tht price is hard to find. D90 is very hot now u know? brows.gif  Some say skip the xxxD series and go straight for 40D...which u can get 2nd hand for around 3.2K.. But 450D do fine too.

thanks for the suggestion, until now i still cannot determine which to get sad.gif If I get canon 450D now, scare later the price may drop in May when 500D on sale! So i am thinking of used Nikon D90 (body only), will my old nikkor AF 28-88mm F3.5-5.6D fully compatible with the D90, is there any focusing issue especially with old lens?

wow ur bro using Nikon d300...why don u use nikon too? can share lens mah laugh.gif no matter how strong build..with magnesium allow wht ever...i will still be careful 100% all the time. Juz like laptop with shock resistant..u dare to drop it? same analogy haha.. Yea i did consider 40d...but few things turned me off...the wheel, no built-in wireless commander and 320k pixel screen only. No built in flash commander really made me went for d90.

so you means that nikon d90 support the wireless creative system (CLS)? Actually how does it work? Is it same like sony alpha 200 with sony flash?

yes...but im not sure whether Sony can adjust the power for each off their wireless flash.. for example..in nikon..i can adjust group A in Manual mode..and fire 1/50 power..group B with full power...group C with TTL..something like this.

wow seems like nikon D90 is worthy with the price! It have most of the function that 450D don't have!

Pls give opinion and suggestion. icon_rolleyes.gif
