I'm planing to buy a Nikon D40 with a kit lens 15-55/f3.5-5.6 (http://

and one additional lens to cover the range from 55mm up to 200mm.
Now, I have a terrible dilemma between ...

Add the beauty of Australia's East coast and the result is incredible.

can anyone suggest a lense for macro shots on this camera?

Per a post on Dyxum, Sony will be announcing details on their new DSLR's
on July 9.

What is the difference between "frame rate" and "refresh rate"?
Is it best for the frame rate to have a frequency the same as the
power supply [60 Hz in USA/Canada, 50 Hz in Europe/Asia]? Is this true
even if the video is digital and played through a digital plasma

I want a good dslr, such as Nikon D40x or Canon xti.  Something that has
interchangeable lenses, doesn't cost more than $2k with all the lenses and
goodies, and that will do a good job.
That question took 35 words.

I have a question regarding correct exposure in 'daylight' conditions either
early morning or dusk with respect to ISO settings....
Would using a 'high' ISO setting have  more pronounced ' noise' in images
shot in reasonable daylight?

I just got my Sigma 50mm F/2.8 Macro lense and have been blown away by the
sharpness (I've only ever had consumer zoom lenses).
I had hoped that this sharpness would also be there for more distant (ie,
non-macro/closeup) but it doesn't seem to show a "night/day" difference

I keep thinking about taking the plunge and buying a Nikon DSLR, but they
still don't have the lenses right.
With my film bodies, their 24-120mm VR lens stays on the camera 90% of the
time, and I use it in the 24-28mm range surprisingly often.  Or if I don't

This means they've taken a moulded plastic aspheric lens and
physically bonded it to a glass element or literally, moulded it
against the glass element, applying the aspheric surface to the other
side.

"Someone" posted that Canon said the new 1DMkIII has the finest images
of an DSLR, even better  than their current FF models.  I do not know
if this is true.  But if it is, does it matter much?  By Sept or so, a
new 5D (7D) will be out and it will likely be the number one imager at

Folks,
I have a number of Sandisk Extreme III CF cards to use in my Nikon D200. I was
considering buying a few Extreme IV cards, as they are supposed to be twice as
fast as the version III.

After a while waiting to get these accessories I am finally at a point where
I am ready to get both a panorama head and a set of macro focusing rails.
I have a set of macro focusing rails I purchased from Manfrotto about a year
ago but they don't work for me considering the type of ...
