Nikon D3000 with 18-55 lens... 460 special at Walmart dot com- is that good? What does "non VR" mean? Something to do with the lens I think.

Thanks,

Jud
 
Khokhonutt: Lovin' those Lapu's!! One of my fave drinks on Disney property!!


Jud! Awesome awesome shot of the folks heading DOWN! :rotfl:

Steve's Girl- The shot of the mommy and baby gorilla just completely melted my heart :love:

Non VR is No Vibration Reduction, means if you shake you may get a blurry picture unless you use a tripod.

Both my Nikon Lenses are VR, I thought it was worth the $

Nikon 3000 is a nice DSLR....are you still looking? I thought you just got a new oly on ebay?

Price on future shop canada is $379.98can

At this moment both the SP 550 and 590 UZ are sitting in their shipping boxes on my floor awaiting my opening them- been working on the house the last few days. Takes me a while to get to things these days. I have high hopes for these, for what they were intended for, but given that I have accepted the 500 dollar mark I was curious when I saw this 'special' though now I see Amazon has it for the same price with the VR lens. The test pictures look very good- but then again, no vid, and big. So back to that whole 'pocket camera' thing... you can't get the shot if the camera isn't with you!

Thanks for the info!

If I was looking for a Nikon DSLR with video, I'd consider the Nikon D3100

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=4bcc7472263e75dbe1d87b4ecaf8c69een02

Unfortunately, all DSLR's are bigger, but the Nikon seemed smaller to me than the other brands

I still love my Nikon D40 (even if it doesn't have all the bells and whistles or video)

I take a canon p&s for days when I want to carry a small camera (with video capability) but it doesn't have a huge zoom.

Hope this helps? :goodvibes
