No kidding!:o That's really tempting. Please share where (pm me also can)...

Nope, I won't be selling my D40 either. I still think the D40 was a brilliant move by Nikon, but I'm not sure introducing the D40 is a good move. The D40 created a new market for them, but the D40x is not quite here nor there. Like someone said, most people will probably opt for the D80 for a...

I have no problems accessing the site. Just tried with Singnet and last night used Starhub also worked. :think: Do you have problems with other sites like dcresource, imaging-resource, or just dpreview?

Of course you can take close-ups and macros indoors with the 70-200. I was talking about general shots like group shots, sorry if I was unclear. Try taking a group shot in an average-sized room with the 70-200, you may need to move back at least 10m away from your subjects but you can't...

The 70-200 will not allow you to shoot indoors where you are usually quite near to your subject. It will also not be wide enough for you to take architectural shots. These are all possible with 18-70mm coverage on the 18-200mm that's missing on the other lens. :)

Couldn't have said it better myself...:thumbsup:

No. 1 Colour Centre advertises in the papers quite often, 20c per copy for certain volume. Seems like a good price but not sure any catch. Anyone tried them?

Can anyone comment on how this lens compare with the 24-120mm VR in terms of sharpness and overall image quality? I know the range is obviously different, but if I don't really need that much telephoto, would the 24-120 be a good choice?

Happy Year of the Pig to all! Wishing all good health, happiness and prosperity in the new year!

Maybe you can explain why you feel your kit lens is inadequate? For range and versatility, the 18-135 is a good choice. If you are looking to upgrade, I can mainly think of primes and VR lenses. I think you will get better advice if you give more info on what you are looking for (faster...

I don't have the answer, but I would think it has more to do with shutter count rather than length of time. For example a 1-yr old cam with 10k shutter count would probably fail sooner than a 2-yr old cam with only 5k shutter count. Or I may be completely wrong?:embrass: Can anyone share...

No offence, and I don't disagree with your views, except I can't understand why you would describe the D40 has having cheap toy-like build, and then go on to recommend the 350D. I've compared (I mean handled) the D40, 350D, D80 and 30D. Compared to the D80 and 30D, the D40 does feel a bit like...

You should also give some thought to the kind of photos you like to shoot, whether you are likely to need to get a few more lenses. Like I said, if you end up needing to buy a few more lenses, then D40 may not be a good choice because you end up having fewer (and more costly) compatible lenses...

There are several reviews that compares the features of D40 vs D50/D80. Take a look and then decide based on your needs. Only you know what is more important for you. http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/nikon/d40-review/index.shtml http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond40/ Compared to...
