    AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED



    AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

    Hi,
    As you have D90, I guess you have the kit lens 18-105. Choosing among the two lenses you mention, I would go with 55-300 VR. They both are not very sharp wide open and between 200-300mm. You need to stop down at f/8 or11 to get sharp pictures. Here the VR will be advantages. The built quality of 70-300 is much better than 55-300.

    I have the 70-300[4.x zoom] and it is worth the price [25K I paid around 3 years back].
    I am not sure about the 55-300[5.x zoom] though, keep in mind the 55-300 is a DX lens where as the 70-300 is a FX [Full Frame] lens. Do check for some reviews on the 55-300, but I somehow feel the 70-300 will be slightly better, better zoom always does not translate into better snaps at the long end.

    What are the other lenses you have?

    Don't go for this site.
    They have priced Canon 1000D @ 24K + but in reality, it is available for 22K in the market.

    if these (+3MP + HD video) isn't features u're looking for...
    then i'd recommend u buy the 45OD.
    Yes, i'am not much after the extra 3mp's and HD video.
    Though me purchasing it will take time..

    There would be considerable differences between 1000D and 450/500/550D. But, within 450, 500, 550 are with minor enhancements over other. Between these, I would suggest you to decide based on budget. If you are not particular about brand, you can also check Nikon D3100.
    ok thanks.
    will check the 550D too.

    I've used those links only as price indicators. no idea if you can purchase from those sites and if so, no idea if they can be trusted


    Try asking in a few stores in your locality. I was quoted 14k in two shops i had asked.
    I bought my LX3 from JJ Mehta. Its one of the biggest cam stores for long time in Mumbai. It can be trusted.

    it is a bit bulky but that gives it a professional look the TZ8 looks like a cam for chics
    one thing the TZ8 has but the sx130IS doesn't is the wind noise cut option while recording videos.

    The sx130 IS uses AA batteries while the TZ8 uses the Li ion battery. The Li-Ion gives more backup but the AA bateries are more convenient (IMO)

    @eliksir....Thanx for the quick reply...will get it soon...hey but the tz8 costs around 19000/-,i checked it in croma..tc..keep riding and clicking tooo ..

    I had the same query some time back. Firstly, look at some sites which give you buying guides like this or this.

    Secondly, you cannot go wrong with either camera. There are some minor differences between them which you can read reviews and find out. In the end, you just need to see if you would mind paying extra for the D3100 over the 1000D.

    PS: I used dpreview.com to check out revews. Although a bit on the technical side, they are very comprehensive. Also, digital-slr-guide.com has reviews in very simple language.

    Happy researching!!!

    features wise,u'll loose the new tech in the d3100 over the 1000d,the starndard kit lens with the nikon is vr(image stabilised lens) and is plentiful for a beginner.also the 1000d lacks spot metering (not an issue,u can zoom in the center weighted mode to get the metering right ).The 3100 also packs some good hd vid features and is faster that the 1000d as well..

    so the choice is urs... and did i mention u got beter/cheaper range of lenses for the nikon's.....
    Thanks a lot guys for the reccomendation. I have finally decided on the Nikon D3100. I also check out this site for the reviews and its very informative: Nikon D3100 review: High ISO Noise results, D3100 vs Canon 1000D / XS vs Canon 550D / T2i | Cameralabs


    Happy clicking!
    Safe Riding!

    the TZ-8 is available at around 13-14k MRP and not grey market prices. check again. or check the prices at some site.

    In this mid level segment, sony cams sucks balls. so does kodak. Both of them produce poor image quality compared to canon/panasonic. Cybershot has lost its quality. Its good only for the entry level nowadays
