35 1.8g for wider street shots and portraits. 50 1.8g or d for more portrait only shots. the so isnt really wide enough for street shots for example.

as far as i know the optical quality of the lenses are practically the same so you cant really go wrong.

if you dont need the money then i wouldnt sell the kit. one day you will come back to it all and think it was a stupid idea to sell it.

Have you considered a secondhand Nikon 28-70 f/2.8 ?

there is nothing wrong with any of those bodys for a beginner starting out. what you now have to think about is how much you can afford and how much accessibility you want/need. for example the d90 has a top lcd screen which is better for changing the settings quickly, the others do not have...

that is sacrilege.

when i was in new york i had serious sensor dust which ruined quite a few photos :( but a quick blast with my rocket blower fixed it instantly, couldnt ask for much more.

but Peter has previous experience with using nikon kit which is probably the reason why he is looking into buying another nikon body probably because of lenses etc. asking why he thinks the nikon will be more suited is pretty stupid for two equal cameras, he will have to make a decision at some...

i think he was trying to say that when using a prime you need to think a bit more before taking a shot thus meaning you might have to take a few steps back or forward but this also means you are thinking for longer about the shot which might make you learn more by seeing different angles rather...

emm the 35mm is a much better lens and it produces great photos but it is a prime so it can be limiting but the kit lens is a zoom so it would probably be better to get both tbh if it is possible. The d90 is easy to get to grips with (my dad owns one) but you might just need to do a lot of...

i totally agree with Steve and a used d90 is roughly the same price as a new D3100 with kit lens, i think so much better to spend the same money on something better even if it is used and if you buy a good one you probably wont notice its second hand. i highly recommend the 35mm 1.8G lens also...

or you could just buy a slave to attach to the bottom of the sb-600. like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-Slave-Unit-Shoe-Contact/dp/B00005LLPK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1344351298&sr=8-5

i have a sitecom card reader which i picked up in a airport and it does exactly what i want it to do, no problems at all with it.

make sure the price is about right, if it is much lower than others alike i would avoid it and try and buy from business sellers with a lot of buying/selling history in camera equipment and who have become a top-rated seller. although i bought a bike rack from a top rated business seller who...

to eddiewood: in the second quote it said about unhelpful posts. i personally feel the comment made by tcr4x4 was unhelpful to the forum because the origanal question made by Donk1166 mentioned the fact about their trip to new york later this year and the fact they shoot more scenery than...
