550 for grey set with only 1 year shop warranty.
630 for local set with 3 years warranty (1+2 after sending in warranty card).

If you want to get the new 17-50/2.8 VC (similar to VR), local set will be around 950 SGD. If you buy it in malaysia, it is around 800 SGD.

I use the non-VC version and I like it a lot.

hi,

I am thinking to buy a D90. Any recommendation whether i should go for the 18-105mm kit lens or should i pay more to buy some thing else for a good zoom lens. I notice the 18-105mm is consider quite good.

Should I just buy the body + sigma or tamron f2.8 lens?

I will use it for my travel in India next month. Can recommend any thing i should buy like what bag is good for travel?

notice the latest cheapest price is ard $1699 from various shop like MS color, any other place lower price?

Read a few posts up and you will see SLR revolution sells the kit fr 1638 or something. Or were you too lazy to scroll up or click to the page before?

All your other questions, only you can answer because no one knows what you will be shooting or what kind of bag you will prefer. It is your own preference.

You should get the Nikon 16-85mm VR. Very sharp contrasty pics.

waaa shoot so much already. And also, you might want to consider using single AF point and spot metering and meter the face of the people you shoot. Your exposure will come out nicer. For now, most of your portrait shots are a little underexposed for the face.

16-85 is a nice lens. But if you need f/2.8, you have to go for Nikon 17-55/2.8, sigma 18-50/2.8, tamron 17-50/2.8, or the tokina 16-50/2.8

Hi, anyone can recommend a reasonable wide angle lens for my D90?. Would like to try out getting other lens as well but for the moment a wide angle lens would do. Any recommendation where to get and price?

thanks for recommending...
would you think that i should go for the kit 18-105mm lens for travel ?
18-50 is good but range is too short i think.

It is really up to you and what kind of stuff you shoot.

 

[jackmbox]

agree! $950-960 for tokina 11-16 f/2.8!
u'll love the solid build of the lens... but need to buy ultra thin filter for it (77mm)...
currently i'm using it with kenko pro1d cpl 77mm... results are really :thumbsup:
got time i'll post some sample in the photo section

if u wan do-it-all lens (but compromising some quality and speed), then 18-105 is good (best is the 18-200.. convenient lens).

Hi. Im new here and i got my first DSLR the amazing D90.

I bought mine from SLR Revolution at $1630 too. It didnt come with freebies but the money saved was enough for a 8GB Memory Card. They're having a promotion too. Add $11 and they throw in a Lowepro Rezo 190 AW which costs $146 in Challenger. I definitely recommend this store and i greatly want to unrecommend Alan Photo. F***ing lousy service to the max. If you go to SLR, ask for Jason. He's very patient and friendly. Even after i bought my camera and go back to ask him some questions, he would greet me with a friendly smile and doesnt mind me asking my ultra newbie questions.



They have 0% installment but there's a 3.5% administrative charge.

wow do they have stock or have to wait?

Hi everyone, just got my Nikon D90 from SLR Rev last Saturday. Total Price is $1672 (NikonD90 Kit 18-105mm + 1 UV filter + 8GB memory card + 1 LowePro Rezo 190 AW bag) SLR Rev selling the camera bag only $11 when you purchase a Nikon DSLR. Also bought a dry box from another shop costs $23 and 1 bottle of silica $4. Planning to get a 50mm f1.8 lens soon.

One question,
My friend put his hands in front of my flash while i was taking a picture, the battery started blinking and the shutter release was disabled. Will anything happen to my camera?

And my friend got a heat shock to his hand. Lol
