err doesn't the D90 come with a 18-105 VR as a kit lens ? Also if I am not wrong , its much better than the 18-55. I would suggest you take the D90 with the 18-105.

Been mulling it over, have no clue what to do yet.

D90 + 18-55 lens + f/1.8 50mm prime + the sigma 105mm macro + the other lens = 56k

OR

Canon 550D + 18-55 IS + 55-250 IS + f/1.8 50mm Prime + tripod for roughly the same amount

:Comp3:

At the price point you are getting D90 is a no brainer any day.

I have it and its really really good camera to use.

Faheem as he has the 105mm macro, he can do with the limited focal range of the 18-55...

Thanks for the input guys, I guess D90 is way to go. :D

Good choice. I've been using it for a while and the second screen on top really helps. Changing setting using shortcuts along with that screen is a breeze! You will also love the pentaprism viewfinder!
 
^^ PM Faheem, I think he got it that price recently only.

In addition ask Lalit photo at

in Mumbai.
 
Thanks boss! I will check with Faheem too. But purchasing from Mumbai would be an issue! Here it still sells at close to 50k!
 
ok this is what my wishlist says ::

tamron 90mm macro
sigma 10-20
nikon 300mm F4 AF-S
55mm clear filter for the tammy
77mm clear filters for the other 2
B & W 10-stop ND, and CPL - 77mm threads
Manfrotto 055XproB + RC498 + QR plate

Comments and suggestions, and someone please give me the strength to hit the checkout button :)

PS : is the tripod available at a decent rate locally? that combo is $262 on B & H .. but its a bit of a problem to carry it back.
 
Today, I was pleasantly surprised when I could setup my Logitech Harmony Remote to work with my Nikon D5100. :)
 
Got the D90 :D with an 18-55VR and a 50mm prime alongwith a tripod, and 16gb card with complementary nikon bag and UV filters for the lenses for about 52k

What, are you saying all that for $262 only!!
 
There is no camera category when you setup Logitech Harmony.

After a bit of googling, found that cameras are in VCR category. :rofl:

Nikon D5100 or no other newer model is in list. But if you select Nikon D40/D80, it works fine. :)

OT: Congrats on your D5100, read about it on Team-BHP. More similarity Civic+D5100 :p

Hmm nice, how much is the Nikon UWA for? Brendon was complaining about AF issues on 90mm Tamron, speak to him about the Tammy. The Sigma 10-20 is a very nice lens, have used Brendon's (mostly will buy it next year).

The Manfrotto tripods are available in Mumbai (and are competitively priced). They are quite heavy, make sure the person who is bringing them realizes that.

The nikon UWA is for twice the cost.. so thats a no-go. Tamron 90, well the new ones have a AF motor which will work with my sasta body, and macro work is manual focus anyways right. :)

The tripod + head is around 16k here, 13k there. And its 3kg... More or less found someone to carry it down already. Lets see what happens.

I chose the tamron 90 over the sigma 100 because it seems to have better handling. I dont know about it much though. Insights anyone?
