[Fran]

[Emm]

Hi Borderdawn :smt039 great to see you over here

Your cats are gorgeous :D

[borderdawn]

Thanks again all, yes Fran, thats the camera! You only get a standard lens though, I have bought a 28mm-135mm image stabilser lens and an ultrasonic 70mm-300mm one for stuff a bit further away.
Dawn.

[Fran]

Thanks Dawn...still trying to convince hubby I need a new camera :roll: :-D

[Fran]

Thanks again all, yes Fran, thats the camera! You only get a standard lens though, I have bought a 28mm-135mm image stabilser lens and an ultrasonic 70mm-300mm one for stuff a bit further away.
Dawn.

Under what circumstances would you use the 28mm-135mm lens Dawn?

[borderdawn]

Hi Fran.
I use that one for normal shooting and for close ups, its much better for things like portraits and macro shots, and with the image stabilizer it helps to steady the shot.
Dawn.

[Fran]

Thanks for that Dawn :) ....how good is the lens that comes with the camera?

[Tom]

Awwww Dawn your cats are real beauties!! They are gorgeous :)

[borderdawn]

Thanks Tom Cat.

Its ok Fran and you can buy the camera without the lens if you want to. Its a standard 18-55mm lens.
Dawn.

[Tom]

:lol: @ Mags and Emma....still trying to persuade hubby I need one for Christmas ;) Hope they don't run out with that great web offer they have going :roll: :-D

Gosh Mum there is always something lol :-D

[Fran]

Thanks Dawn...will have to look into it. Where would you suggest the cheapest and best place to get one. Perhaps without the lens and then buy the 28mm-135mm lens?

This is quite reasonable just the body, no lens.

This is the lens I have, but you can get the same focal length etc.. much cheaper if you dont have the image stabilzer and you can get other good makes like Tamron or Sigma that are very good quality.
Dawn.

[Fran]

Thank you very much Dawn :D
