| Hi, I'm leaning toward a D SLR and stopped into a camera store. The Nikon D40 doesn't have the VR lens that is anti shake but the D60 does,,,of course I can upgrade but it's more money. Is this "VR" lens that much better???
Also, I've had a few Pentax's in my day and liked them. What do you think of Pentax K2000 vs. the Nikons? D60 or D40....I'm running to Circuit City in hopes there is a "real" price reduction and not some come on...Thx |

| Before I buy any Camera equipment, I go to the Fred Miranda site to read the reviews. I have found them to be very helpful. Dave |

| While Digatal SLR's do not have the same problems with camera shake as Point & shoot, it can still be an issue particularly at longer exposures. I have moved to Nikon VR lenses for that reason and I am quite happy. Mind you it will also depend on the kind of photography you are planning. I do a lot of macro using a 105 mm and bird photography using a 70-300 amongst others. Longer and heavier the lens the more valuable I have found the VR. |
