Which second-hand lens for under $1k would be best for taking pictures of distant birds? I assure you every implication of your objection about AF and AF-S is crystal clear to me. just for the record, I wanted to point out a lens which is arguably optically and (even more) mechanically superior if compared with the first two lenses you mentioned, and at least as good as the third; its price NEW is just slightly higher than the budget we're talking about, still used it's quite easily available for less. Not criticizing your answer, just adding to it :-) |

Which second-hand lens for under $1k would be best for taking pictures of distant birds? In fact I noted it's AF, but that's not so great a defect. He didn't say if his camera has a built-in af motor, if not, peace. I just thought it deserved a mention :-) By the way you can find it (both used and new) at amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, bhphotovideo.com, adorama.com and calumetphoto.com (it's in stock at least at calumet and at b&h, and there are some used and open-box for less money at adorama) |

What advice do you have on choosing between Canon 60D and Nikon D7000? your reasons are not consistent: the number of shots in auto bracketing is irrelevant if compared to all the features a photogrpher needs, there's no evidence or common belief one brand has better weather sealing, the choice of lenses is so large with both makers there's no way of saying which one has more, ... |

Which second-hand lens for under $1k would be best for taking pictures of distant birds? a used nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 AF is actually under $1k (a bit more than $1k new) and it's a tough, high quality lens. After all one must not forget it makes little sense to buy a camera from "big names" and not use their great brand glass. |

Why are my photos slightly yellower than they should be on iPad 1st gen? @mattdm - this makes it much less worthy to buy a colorimeter for the iPad, unless one is planning to also calibrate all his other screens. |

Between Nikon 18-55mm II and 50mm f/1.8, which suits my needs better? +1 for our slimy devil's advocate :-) |

Between Nikon 18-55mm II and 50mm f/1.8, which suits my needs better? For many reasons I agree the 50 f/1.8 is the lens to go (at least in most cases) among these two, however the nikkor 18-55 is not a poor lens by any means. It's not fast nor sturdy, still its good image quality (talking of contrast, sharpness, chromatic aberrations and flare) and versatility are quite a matter of fact. |

D5100 or D90 ? Which one to buy as the first DSLR? @kabir - a good summary. Except most times you actually get different lenses (not the same plus af motor) because most of the ones built with the af motor are made for DX sensors so focal lenghts and the whole lens design change. e.g. the 85 mm f/1.8 AF (no built in motor) is slightly cheaper than the 85 mm f/3.5 AF-S DX (built in motor) which is an overall inferior lens. |

D5100 or D90 ? Which one to buy as the first DSLR? @rfusca - same for me. it kills me, when I look for lenses, to lose all the AF ones with better quality/price ratio (even more so if they're used) because my body lacks a motor. They make amazing AF-Ss, but they cost some good money. Other than that, I love the D3100. |
