absolutely! looking forward to grabbing some information and hopefully sharing some!
I'm really interested in gig/concert photography... which is the most appropriate board to post about this on? I want to make sure my talk|photography etiquette is right from the start

hi and ................
I have exactly the same three lens......
just an aside --- IF you were to upgrade - which body would you go for
the D90 appears to be "choice" but with all AF-S lens, one could goto a D5000 for quite a bit less ?

hey Yardbent... yes I've been thinking about this and I think I would go for the D90, mainly because:
- having the AF motor in the body => a wider range of lenses available
- better ISO performance, I shoot at gigs/concerts so this would be great
at the moment I'd love to get both a D90 and a fast midrange zoom (thinking about the Tamron 28-75 f2.8) but finances will only allow me to stretch to one at the moment!
how about you?

The general 'Talk Photography' section would probably be best

as I dont want any more lens and my 3 are all AF-S, the D5000 is still viable
the body is £200 less than a D90 body - roughly

horses for courses I suppose
I think if I was upgrading the body, I would want to take a 'considerable' jump (ie. to a D90) rather than a small improvement to the D5000... I'm considering getting the D90 second hand, either from the classifieds here or ebay... or maybe onestop-digital, where it's £550 inc fedex delivery (so £60/70 cheaper than the best UK price I can find).

sure thing
not sure whether to upgrade the body first, then be able to buy an alternative lens to the Tamron 28-75 (ie. without motor)
or get the above lens and then upgrade to the body later!
