<p>No, I agree with R. Joe. I see little distortion with the 50 1.8 AF-D I have, one of the best Nikon lenses I've owned, after owning 20-30 Nikon lenses. Can't really say you're going to see an optical advantage. It's probably the best/cheapest lens Nikon has ever made.</p>

<p>Great pics once again. This was taken Memorial Day at Marietta National Cemetery.</p><div>

<p>I agree with a number of posters here - I don't think film will ever completely go away, nor should it. Just a different medium, that's all. Having owned numerous Leicas & Hasselblads (and I'm ashamed to admit it, seriously, I've owned just about major brand of film camera), I never got the collector mentality. They are tools, no more no less, use them, that's what they were made for. If you have a nice collection, I'd hang on to them, stock up on your favorite emulsions and chemicals.</p>

<p>Great shots - love the bird pictures. Happy Wednesday everyone.</p><div></div>

<p>$9700 for a Sigma? Sorry, no.</p>

<p>I'm tempted to think it's hardware related as well. After my last PC was cooked, I built a new 'basic' system, 4gb ram, quad-core Phenom II and 1.5 tb of storage and I'm using Gimp 2.6 and LR 2.7 64 bit on Win7/64 bit and both Gimp and LR just fly.</p>

<p>Hi Katie,<br>
I agree with many points here (and Matt L. definitely made a good point), but putting that aside - you want to take better pictures. Study your technique. Yep, a new camera (say a D7000 for example) will fire up the motivation, but if you already know what you lack and where your photographic skills are at, possibly new glass. A 35 1.8, a new quality zoom (70-300 VR as an example) may help you more than a new body. The D80 is a fine camera, no question. Exploit the capabilities of not only your camera, but your lenses, AND your talents, then ask yourself where the shortcomings are. You'll find the answer. Good luck & let us all know.</p>

<p>Well, John P, did you take that cute little guy home?</p>

<p>Great pics today & happy Wednesday to all. Boredom, the mind's way of telling you get out & find something new.</p><div></div>

<p>Simply too many great photos today to comment on. Unfortunately I don't get the time to get out to photograph as much as I would like, so my meager contribution is just another flower photo I managed to snap in a hurry. Kris, I am sorry to hear about your beloved Minnie, she looks like she was a sweet pup.</p><div></div>

<p>You may want to consider (depending on your budget) an 18-105 and either the 35 1.8 or 50 1.8. After decades of film gear and having multiple Nikon/Canon setups, I've found these two lenses (in my case, the 18-105 and the 50 1.8 AF-D) satisfy 90% of my photographic needs. And yes, a 50mm can do macro with supplemental close-up filters but the quality is not the same.</p>

<p>Good morning to all. I've been looking to buy a second zoom for my D90, something inexpensive (I have no need for a 2.8 zoom) and been looking at the 70-300vr, but have wondered about the older 70-210 AF-D 4/5.6 lenses. Has anyone used any of the older AF-D zooms on a D80/D90/D7000 and liked the results? Or am I chasing a bad idea?</p>

<p>Good morning all. Some spring flowers.</p>

<p>Some striking photos today. Caillum, the balance of color and contrast in that shot is amazing. Been playing around with B&W.</p><div></div>

<p>Beautiful pictures today. This is the neighbor's spring flowers.</p><div></div>

<p>Great photos today. Greg, Jean, love those bird pictures. Lorne, that orchid does look surreal, maybe your niece is right! I missed looking at last week's photos thanks to Mother Nature advising me I needed to upgrade my PC by cooking my old one. Oh well, the new one is nicer and a lot faster. So, no PC, no internet, got bored and took some shots. This one came out rather odd, only because of the lighting and what it is.</p><div></div>

<p>IMHO, I don't think the D90 is going to become obsolete upon it's discontinuation, or when a D5100 appears. If the camera currently meets your needs, you keep it & use it. If you're bumping up on limitations of the body, you find another one. There's just too many content D70/D80/D200/D300 users out there to support that idea. For me, I'd rather spend my money on good glass and my time on my technique.</p>

<p>Peter, so sorry to hear about your loss.</p>

<p>More dog pics! Tom H., you must live for those eagles, beautiful shot. Still, I can't figure out how I would get a shot like that handholding an 80-400. I managed to get Buddy to stop for a few seconds while he was trying to figure out where the frisbee went.</p><div></div>

<p>Well, I sure as heck can't operate a computer, or I haven't had enough coffee. Probably both.</p><div></div>

<p>Great photos today. My thoughts and prayers go out to Japan and all those affected by the recent tragedy.</p>
-
<p>jReny, you'll be very pleased with the D90 and the 18-105. A true classic digital Nikon and a very good lens.</p>
-
<p>This is my friend's Golden Retriever, Buddy. Once this pup gets outside, he's non-stop action. Tom H., that eagle picture is fantastic and Jeannean, your beautiful pic of the Kisskadee makes me want to run out and get a 70-300vr. Great pics today.</p><div></div>

<p>Hmmm, what's the question? I've shot both. Bought the D90. The D90 is a ridiculous machine. Once you study what it does, you'll be pleased. The D3100, an entry level camera. Too much left out. The D90 is going (if not already) to become a true classic, as far as digital bodies goes.</p>
