<p>ok thanks. yea i'll stick with my d3000. i'll start off not so expensive, because first of all, i'm not a pro and i'll save up some money. also i want to wait a while until the movie and live view feature gets better. =) thanks alot guys.<br>

so final answer is: d3000. =)</p>

<p>so all in all. i've decided to save my money for future cameras and once i get more experienced. but now i'm not sure if it would be better just to stick with the d3000 and work around it or go down to the d40. which camera would deliver better sports photos. especially indoor ones. this is so hard. and thank you so much joe for the extraordinary help with the photos and such. i think you are not just helping me out. =)</p>

<p>gosh i think i'm starting all over again. i don't mind the d40, however i wonder if it would focus well enough for my hockey and snowboarding shots. the 3000 isn't bad however the noise is alittle high. i want the d90 but then i don't. the live view and movie seems interesting for times i might actually use them. however, since it's just been introduced there might be new ones coming out soon so it would be a waste, however i kind of need a camera now. and i'm not so sure of the d5000. same thing as the d90 and i guess an added plus when it comes to the rotating screen just incase, during concerts, i can hold my camera over my head and snap some pictures. =)<br>

oh gosh. help. i guess the nikon d3000 is not so bad, but was it really worth my money? i payed $589+tax. and the d40 is only $399. but i think i'll get bored of the camera in a year when all the cameras will have movie and live view. this is such a hard decision.</p>

<p>are there any cameras out there that are just like the d90 except without the video and live view. because i would definitely buy it if it weren't for those two pricey features. i would get the d5000 but i don't like the rotating screen and the d3000 is very noisy.</p>

<p>so is it the d90 that is better overall for my requirements? and is it a good auto camera just incase somebody randomly wants to take photos?<br>

can anybody offer cheap canadian stores, preferably in toronto, that sell the nikon d90 with the 18-55mm lens kit?</p>

<p>thank you shun.<br>

i'm not really going into the sports field it'll just be some fun pictures at times and try and get some neat photos of my friends playing and maybe get someone to get some shots of me. but this camera will be used like any person would use a point-and-shoot camera. friend photos and such however, i will change settings and such and hopefully i'll get to the more creative side. =)</p>

<p>hello thank you for all the facts and help. don't look at the topic question. i don't know where the d40 or 3000 came from. overall. which of the cameras i mentioned is the best for me.<br>

so i guess, my choices between the d5000 and d90? so let's focus in on those. =)</p>

<p>also, i would like a camera which i won't have to setup up too long when i need someone else to take a photo of me and/or with my friends. for sports photos i'll set it up for them and let them shoot away. maybe i'm most likely to get people to take pictures of me. =) and i want my mom to be able to use the camera i choose too. so yea. she'll definately be a beginner. =P however, when i know what the photos are for, i'll set it up for her. and maybe eventually she'll learn. doubt it though.</p>

<p>I bought a nikon d3000 camera one day ago. I wanted to buy the nikon d40, however i ended up buying this one because of the 11 point focus and such and since i would need to go downtown to buy the nikon d40 which is used as a display model. The camera's good and all, i guess. However, i'm second guessing. apparently the d40 is way better but in terms of action shooting? I am a first time dslr user, other than the fact that i played around with my camera for the past day. I'm a quick learner so i don't really need the "easiest" camera around. so i guess i could learn with the d90, if that helps with helping me.<br />I change my mind really quickly when it comes to me buying things. I've read reviews about the nikon d3000 on rockwell, and apparently it's the worst camera to get. so would the nikon d40 be better? I really want an all around camera which is better for sports. i would like to keep it under $1000. I'm more focused on getting winter snowboarding shots, and some indoor arena hockey shots in terms of sports, however i'll most likely be taking photos of friends and such.. I'm not into photography with all the plant photos and such. unless it's landscape pictures of tourism cities and such.<br />now that i'm thinking more about my choices i was thinking between the nikon d40, d3000, d5000, or d90. also the only other (kit lens and ...) lens i'm considering on buying is the 55-200mm VR. so which would be the best camera when it comes to shooting my sports and overall photo shooting with the kit lens and this lense?<br />the nikon d3000 guide doesn't really matter to me. once i learn all of the things i need there is no point of having it there. i will buy a book and go to classes to learn more on how to use my camera, so please just tell me the best camera and if you can give me some tips and such. =) Also i don't want a really bulky camera. like the d3000 body is wonderful. and i'm not thinking on getting any lense bigger than the 55-200. i'm not going pro. these pictures will only be for myself and showing to my friends.<br />sorry that my explanation is messed up. I'm just throwing information here and there</p>

<p>thank you for the information. so what lense would be considered a faster glass which is not too super expensive? roughly around the same price range as the lenses i mentioned. and how would a flash help for outdoor pictures for snowboarding?</p>

<p>So I've decided to buy a nikon d40. since i haven't seen it or tried it ever i'm not sure if i need to buy a seperate lense from the 18-55 for action shots in indoor arenas (air canada centre/community arenas) and outdoors in the winter for snowboard shots. <br />so my choices are the Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 VR and the Nikon AF-S DX 55-200mm f4-5.6 VR. are there any other suggestions. and no lenses over $600. which one is the better deal? and since i'm a beginner, do i really need the 70-300? also, i'll be taking regular friend photos and such, so can i use these lenses to take those pictures or will i have to go back to the 18-55?<br />since i'm buying my camera tomorrow at blacksphoto i'm not sure if i should buy a camera and the lense at the same time or try out the camera with it's kit lense and then if i'm not satisifed, i buy a new lense?<br />does blacksphoto give discounts for buying a camera along with a lense? i'm going to the store in etobicoke.</p>
