It also has one ED glass element and one aspherical lens element, optimized for use with DX-format SLRs. The VR system & ED glass allow you to make highly-resolved, crisp images with minimal chromatic aberration. Lastly, the lens' ultra-compact Silent Wave Motor allows for blazingly quick, silent autofocus.
The Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G offers high power telephoto capability, ideal for a variety of applications including sports, wildlife and candid photography. The built-in macro capability provides a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:4. ReviewsThis camera is everything that I thought it would be. However, due to the price if your going to buy this camera you had better be serious about photography. I would take the D90 over the D5000 any day, because of the D90 functions. If you buy from Amazon, I recomend Cameta Camera. My stuff arrived on time with nothing missing from the kit, all in brand new condition.
It comes with everything you need but it is bulky as any camera has to be with this kind of power. And you need to buy a book to really use it. If you know nothing of photography then initially you will be lost. This is the real deal here. The best feature of this product is the ability to change lenses, and Nikon makes the best lenses on the planet. Highly recommended.
This package has everything you need to take great pictures in a variety of settings. It's not just a 'starter' pack.
I added a tripod and mono-pod and plan on getting a flash.
Every thing else I needed was included in the package.
The 18-105mm is my default for indoor, group, and closeup shots. It has a very flexible range from wide angle to '5x' zoom.
The 300mm is great for sporting events or long shots (over 20 feet). It really pull the subject in close.
PROS: The pictures are excellent! The D90 is great with portraits, action shots, and good at video. How many video cameras have a 300mm zoom? I took over 2,500 pictures during a two night play and got some great shots with the 300mm on a monopod. The 4.5 frames/second burst mode really helps when people are moving around. The 8GB card will hold over 2,000 shots. I can shoot all day with one battery, but it's always best to have a spare.
CONS: The 300mm lens is not a VR (vibration Reduction) lens, which helps stabilize the image. In video mode, the image is only displayed on the LCD screen. In full sunlight that can be a problem due to glare on the screen. It doesn't always keep it's focus in video mode either. But your buying it for the still pictures.
Everything will fit in the included camera bag with room for another lens.
This is an excellent camera, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the package that is being offered here, but there is a "devil in the details" of this two lens package that could trip you up if you are not careful.
If you are going to buy a high-power zoom lens like a 70-300mm, having image stabilization built into that lens is pretty critical. At the high magnification factors, any little shake or movement is going to be very difficult to overcome, no matter how steady you are. The D90 itself has image stabilization built in, but the D90 image stabilization alone is not going to be enough to overcome vibration on a handheld camera with a 300mm zoom.
You will note that the standard 18 - 105mm lens in this package is from Nikon's (Nikkor) VR line, and by definition the VR line has the built-in electronic image stabilization. But the 70 - 300mm lens -- the one that REALLY could benefit from image stabilization -- is not a "VR" lens and does NOT have built-in image stabilization -- I just called the vendor and they readily confirmed that this is the case, and they further commented that a package including a 70-300mm VR lens would add "$400 to $450 to the package price".
Again, there is nothing wrong with this camera package, and this is an excellent vendor. Just be sure you go into the purchase knowing what you are getting.
The camera is almost of professional quality and I can only recommend it to anyone who likes to take photos on high resolution. The camera is easy to handle and has all options anybody can dream of.
