Camera and lens has been sold.

Use a kit lens for absolute flexibility in getting the angle you need, w/o stuffing the the camera into the baby's face (their behaviour will change). Kit lens bad in low light? I use a SB800 that is calibrated and bounce it off the ceiling or towards my back. Beautiful and natural!

In my opinion as a quality assurance professional, this is an issue with manufacturing process. I have been involved with processes whereby thin layers of metals are sputtered or evaporated onto a surface, and surface adhesion is one of the key points here. In many of these processes, they...

Why get an SLR and then leave at home? Its very obvious that for such trips, its a must bring right...

Bro - time to throw everything out, and re-populate that dry cabinet again with the good digital stuff. Stock up on that money, I will gladly assist you to spend. For now, just get a basic kit: D80 body Nikkor 18-200mm VR Nikkor 12-24mm F4 Nikkor 50mm 1.4 Nikkor 85mm 1.4 SB800...

Just spoke to Harvey Norman sales guy yesterday (extremely short conversation as the counter was PACKED with lots of people). The D50 and D80 comes with 1yr Nikon + 2 yr HN warranty. 1st year - usual Nikon warranty at Nikon SC. 2nd & 3rd year - If you need warranty, you call HN to alert...

What was your price, and package like? With the extended 2 yr warranty? I was asking yesterday and it seemed like its so 'flexible'. Salesman said "err... I can throw in a 1gb card, and I think the warranty also no problem"

Just checking - is it worth to get from Harvey Norman or Courts simply because they throw in a free 3 year extended warranty? These places are generally more expensive, but if you consider that they throw in freebies, VISA card 0% installments, and FOC warranties, it may be worth something...

wah, the definitive answer to which one to choose - and I like the last sentence! No wonder why I always hear about SB800 and not SB600.

Ok ok - forget SB600 - go for SB800. I guess it looks like the kit is a good combo for now. I wonder if the kit lens would be worth anything if I try to sell off after a few months. Any guesses on the street price for such a pre-owned item? Any recommendations for a decent and easy...

Was thinking about that, as the body+18-200 will make me very poor. But if I have the kit lens, I will potentially be stuck with it and hassle myself selling it. Was thinking of spending more in short term to save in long term. SB800 is almost double price of SB600 - worth it?

Hi guys Newbie here. Getting my first DSLR after a long time of dropping my Canon film SLR years ago. In the interim, been using my trusty Coolpix 5700 which served well, but obviously leaves me wanting a lot more. Main purpose of camera is snap some pics of interiors of vehicles (which...
