Thanx alot for this website. I'm based in Pretoria and I would prefer to go and buy than to order over the net.
I will mainly shoot landscapes, buildings, family photos and smaller objects. Sport will not be one of them as I'm not much into many sports.
Someone asked what I'm considering and why not the Olympus or Pentax. The reason is that I want to go for something that is freely available in the area I'm staying in. It seems like Nikon and Canon is dominating the field here. I haven't seen much other brands. The pentax I saw was at a photo printing shop, and thats the ONLY dlsr they have. No extra lenses, nothing. It's mainly a photo print shop.
Outdoor photo seems to stock only Canon and Nikon. The other shop I went to stock, nikon, canon, sony and Panasonic. Extras though is where they fall out of the tree. They do have lenses but its after market lenses and not some brand I know/heard of. So the main reason why I'm REALLY considering Nikon is because its available locally and the Canon just doesn't feel right.
Does anyone know if the 18 - 55mm Nikon kit lense has IS? btw, what is VR as I see some people mentions IS and VR together?
Thanks for all the help guys.
