another new toy

I guees you guys will be wondering what the heck this guy, so many new things meh..

Well yes, just got this thing, nice nice, its a DSLR, and its a NIKON. Without further a do i would like to introduce you a D90, with a 18mm to 105mm kit lens. Interesting, My friend, Simon had told me that i should do with a 18mm to 200mm lens, Due to budget issue and also the price of a 18mm to 200mm lens is extremely expensive, i had to go for the kit lens.
Nikon D90
Between D90 and 50D from Canon i felt that i was the Nikon guy, as i had one round of crash introduction in Harvey Norman last night, and also a crash course from Simon Saturday Afternoon playing with his D300 which he happened own one, Somehow everyone around us has a DSLR so i was thinking how cant i miss this thing,
we were building a computer and went to lowyat to get some HD. Along the way back we went to the camera section, they had some camera clearance sale, so i went to ask how much was D90. i was offered 4100, with kit lens and so on.
I had asked for a 200mm lens and was quoted RM 5599, so i was told that it was cheap, the lens with a VR 2 nikon ori lens, 18 200 mm was about 2500, as the body was at 3000 presumebly,
comes with a bag, tripod, UV protector, and 4 gb card and so on. interesting price

My heart went beating wanting this unit, so cheap, all new, in harvey norman i was quoted same things but at 4488 for a 18 105 lens. So expesive in Harvey Norman,

went to another shop in Lowyat, probably having the same promo. D90 was at 3899. with all those i mention,

Didnt bothered, went home, told wife, and went back to lowyat, long story short, went to the shop again, ask more question, manage to talk to some consumer using some nice camera,
Asked for their advice, 18 105 is good enough to start with, then go for 70 300mm later,

and he was also using a D90 surprise surprise, and packed with a 70 300 lens. His friend was using a 50D which was a canon.

great ppl and their advise was honest, So i went to discuss to get more things, and then said went to makan and shopping, first,

While eating, my mind was thinking to get 200mm or not, or just settle with the 105mm will do, then what to do next time, whats the upgrade, this and that, i knew that i want a D90 body, but which lens, Thats the problem, thanks to Mr Simon partly to let me know the capabilites of the 200mm lens, which in the end i felt the price to pay for a new 200mm lens, is way too expensive for my level, So i intend to get it later or straight 70 300mm later,

Finally went back to the shop again, the salesman was so glad to see me, and i had requested him to show me wide angle, 18 200mm VS 18 105, and final price bargain and goodies.,

Ultimately i got a 8 gb , tripod, camera, cleaning kit, and screen protector, and thats all, i think all in for 3900, which i paid 3978 for Credit card, which i intended to installment for 3 years or so, hey im no rich man ,, i got to go for this installment plans,

So now i own one, and thats a cool one, good enough to join the NIKON gang, haha, welcome me, all nikon users, here i come,, eh, i still new here, so only know how to tekan tekan, but dont know how to yet, so more lessons from Mr Simon next week,,,
