Any Nikon D90 owners?

[MrEd]

im talking about using it using the viewfinder, the autofocus with the live view isnt as quick but it works in much lower light, prob because it uses a different way of focusing, something called phase contrast

Cool, I now get the impression they were just trying to find something to criticise!

That and the sound on the HiDef Video – jeese, put a £600 mice on it and it will sound ok!!!

I’m quite liking the Jessops kit - http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/77130/show.html

And adding the Sigma 10-20

I prefer to buy something like this from a shop - so I can go back and smash their windows if it goes wrong, but Jessops, because they sell online too, are pretty good at price matching, so thanks for those sites - in fact the guy that I spoke to there tipped me off that the cheepest prices around (this was about 6 months ago) were at Bristol Cameras and they would beat their prices if you printed out the page from their website!

Thanks for the info about the new 10-20 - good to know

no worries, the park cameras is a shop, bu i apreciate it is a bit far lol, hope the purchase goes well! you wont be disappointed!

Not a hundred percent I'm going to do it yet, I've just come into a little inheritance with the instruction I have to spend it on something that would make me happy and not on the three tyres my car needs, but I’m very close

 

[malente]

Just do it!

Then go out and shoot some pictures! You won't be disappointed.

I also hesitated, *trying* to find a reason why it's a bad choice. But really, there isn't. I took the plunge and I am very very happy.

Oh and it's the most used Nikon camera on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/cameras/nikon/) so the price/ performance ratio is good enough for the masses too
