I took my D7000 with 18-105 lens down a ice crevasse the other day. The groups body heat started melting the ice above and my camera got pretty wet. It hasn't shown any signs of side effects :thumbs:

I was in a similar position when I wanted to play about with off camera flash. I eventually went for a SB700 and whilst it's a very nice flash I wouldn't buy it again now that I'm a bit more in the know :)

It seems that Tokina 11-16 hold their value reasonably well so why not get one of them and sell it when you want to go full frame?

I wouldn't worry about the battery life of the D7000, I get around a 1000 shots per charge from mine. The step up from my D5000 was very prominent :)

If depends on your needs. You'll probably struggle to get all that stuff cheaper. Having said that not everything in that bundle is essential. Shop around and run the numbers. Camerapricebuster.co.uk is pretty good comparison site. Amazon have some pretty big discounts at the moment. 7dayshop is...

My old D5000 was kicked off my bed a few times dropped in mud and it didn't think anything of it. I hope it's broken now though since a lowlife stole it :( I've got D7000 now and haven't had any problems so I'd say you've been rather unlucky and wouldn't let it put you off

That sounds and looks really good. I did something similar with an eastpak satchel, old sponge cushion and a lil needle work :P

I don't think AF-S lenses even have the connection to take advantage of the internal motor

I have the sigma and I used it on my D5000. If you just want to dip your toe into telephoto stuff then its alright for the money. If you actually want a top notch lens I'd go for something higher quality.

It depends on what you want to take pictures of out there but I would go with the 18-55 if your set on just taking one lens.

Yeah I can understand that thinking. I have a similar scenario except instead of having an occasional camera I can stick in my pocket I have a girlfriend! Haha

It's really hard for people to give hard recommendations because buying a camera is such a person thing. I was at a similar stage as you a year ago. I would strongly suggest you get a DSLR over a bridge as the image quality and future expandability (not sure that's a word) are far greater. I...

Although it's a little late right now for future kit I would reccommend youtube as an excellent place for reviews. There's also a lot of tutorial videos to help you get started. Other than that enjoy your new toy and good luck :)

If you think of the light reaching the sensor as a signal, with all signals there is some noise. Noise appears in photos when the sensor can't distinguish between the noise and the actual signal that we want to capture. This happens in lo light situations generally because the signal is much...

I think it depends on the type of card, i.e. SD, SDHC or SDXC (which I think exists). From what I can see the D90 supports SDHC and SD so as long as the new cards your planning are one of these two you should be fine.
