D90 is enough to let you explore for a long long time.
 

the D90 is good enough already...

but yes it will still be replaced but not just yet,

as luntut says, it's only due about Q3 2010.

or later, so keep a lookout

but for the meantime, i think D90 should be enough to satisfy your needs:)
 

im waiting for a d90 successor to upgrade from d5000 :D

either that or i would go for the d300s. Nonetheless, d90 is still very new and it would be considered more of a serious amature cam to me.

I think it's too early to be waiting... You should seriously spend more time shooting.. I'm sure the D5k with the lenses you have is going to last you a couple of years... unless the BBB virus kicks in and starts inducing itchy fingers. ;p
 

Yes, I had already decided on D90. First timer on DSLR...currently using Sony H50 (prosumer type). Will D90 be an overkill for a first timer on DSLR?

I juz upgraded fr Canon Ixus 600 IS.. Dont think its a overkill ba..now still trying to explore the functions :bsmilie:
 

I bought my D90 this Saturday :D, was using a cheapo camera all the while and now can see the difference in picture quality ;).
I bought from Harvey Norman with 5 year warranty (250$ extra from market price).
I bought kit which comes with D90 + 18-105mm lens, i was thinking to ask them if can exchange 18-105mm with 18-200mm but i read 200mm is quite expensive, so i will stick with this first.

I had planed to get a 50mm f1.8 for my children...my friend ask me to get a SB-600 to go with it (indoor condition) as children are very dynamic subject. Should I get one or stick with the pop up flash.?

Think you should get something wider than a 50mm. It's considered a medium tele on the D90 and like you mentioned, kids are quite dynamic, so something wider would give you more room. You can consider the 35/1.8DX or get an external flash like the SB-600 or SB-900. Using the popup or direct flash usually kills the ambience. Using an external flash allows you to bounce the flash up the ceiling and it will come down naturally.
 

The industry is such that there is really no point in waiting for the next model because the next next model would be in the horizon soon. The important thing is to keep shooting and understanding how to use your camera/lens effectively for different circumstances and to build up an individual style as you go along.

Equipments are perishable and replaceable, Skills and Individual Styles are not. Concentrate on substance and not form.
 

I think he qoute D100 as D90 successor...D40 D60 D80 D90---> D100.

Old joke lah.. I got use "ed" in the word "Launched" okay. Someone ever posted whats next after D90 last year when its newly launched. Then some1 else posted the entire D100 specs.

D100 was a break through what.

Hi, I already PM you.
I suggest that you get the D90 with the kit lens 18-105 for a start. You will find a need for the other accessories as your interest go deeper into photography.:)BTW don't forget to get a drycab. It will prevent your lens from moulds attack.:)

Don't think so. I don't really shoot at events.
 

i smell.......D90S

just wait and see like the D300S
 

no point in waiting for a new model to come out

you lose time in enjoying your current equipment

newer models will always come out sooner or later, look at digital technology nowadays

choose the model that has the features that you need/like, and as long as it's not too old and meets your budget, then mai tu liao
