Afternoon all,

Just thought i'd announce i'm switching sides!! :)

I've bought a Nikon D200 & Kit lens and i've sold my Canon 400D & Kit :)

I've gotta learn all over again my settings and i somehow need to source an equivalent of the 70-300 IS that i had!!! So anyone any ideas which lens i need?? ;)

Am really happy and wanna get out play now :) Should maybe have some free time to do so soon :)

Yep, the lens you need is a Canon 70-300 IS, so you need to sell the Nikon and get a Canon 40d ;) lmao
 
Nikon 70 - 300 VR fits the bill, around £350 now after the price increase
 
double post!
 
The 70-300 VR is the equivalent. If you can't find new or don't have the spare cash they do come up quite regularly S/H as people upgrade from them to the 70-200 f2.8 VR and desperately want some money back. As soon as I find enough cash to I get my 70-200VR I'll be selling mine (but that might be a few months off yet :()
 
Woooooooo! :D

Congrats and welcome to the dark side :)
 
They're regularly on fleabay for about £300, which I think is overpriced for 2nd-hand.
 
An interesting choice to go to the D200 as opposed to the 40D.So what was your reasoning ?
Pete.

As Simon says, the 70-200 2.8 VR is a lens I lust after,but not on the agenda
unfortunately,
After getting the 17-55 2.8 I would just love one..

SOOOOOOOOOO sweet :love:

Oh, welcome to the dark Em ,but I would like to know also why not an upgrade :shrug:

I done the self same thing a few months ago.
Mainly because I didn't want to join the 'lusting over white lens's' club.
 
I think this is a good place to leave this ;)

I found the canon's to be soft on image compared to my friends with Nikons :P

My dad and a few others also prefer and seemed like a next step up was a good time to change! am still trying to get the hang of all the settings *** ;)

ALL GOOD FUN :) am loving it so far :)
 
I too have just jumped ship - there's no right and wrong here, only what works for you!

Cheers,
James

Jumped ship to Nikon, or from Nikon to Canon

And you are wrong, its all about the Canon ;) :lol:
 
Well I'm a Nikon (D300) owner at the moment but i have to say the 5D Mk II is quite tempting.
 
Surely does not matter what camera it is..... its the person behind it doing the magic..
 
good move :lol:

if you cant find a Nikon 70-300 VR for decent money is it worth your while saving that little bit extra for a Sigma 70-200 F2.8?

You can however lust after "Tropical Grey":)
 
At a guess I'd say the white lens refers to Canon L series lens, and the tropical grey is some other companies lens.
