Customer Review: Very good product
Definately worth the money! I purchased this lens just before going on an Alaska trip. I’m very happy I did! The photos taken with this lens are fantastic! I couldnt’ see paying the $400+ for the Nikon equivilant. I’d definately consider buying another Sigma lens in the future.

Customer Review: Really good
This is a real good package. I wish the bag was a little trendy but it still is great.
Customer Review: Great deal but battery is not Nikon brand
This was a very good deal on a great camera. Nice collection of worthwhile extras, and I Love the bag. Note that the ad says you get an extra EN-EL9 battery, but it is actually a DB-ENEL9 battery by CTA Digital Accessories. The Nikon version sells for $40-50, while the CTA version sells for $11 on Amazon. Fortunately the reviews are good for this battery, so hopefully it will be just as good as the Nikon version. I just think they should advertise it as such for full disclosure. If not for this, would have given 5 stars. Shipping was quick.

Customer Review: The pictures are worth the price
I really like this lens, it is sharp, has good contrast, and produces good color. The autofocus is quick and accurate and the vibration reduction is effective. The bokeh is very good. Could it be sharper at 300mm? Yes. Are the images it produces at 300mm usable? Yes, even at 100%. This is not a fast lens, so when shooting in low light this lens will not perform as well. For me, the bottom line is, I have taken some great pictures with this lens that I would not have gotten otherwise. I am very happy with it and I consider this money well spent.
Customer Review: Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom
Love this lens. Is not pro level but is great for my needs as an amature, that is nature shots & such. Use w/monopod for birds & such w/very good results. VR is a life saver in lower light (not low light) situation. Complements the Nikon 16 85…VR. Use w/D69.

Using Nikon Equipment For Wildlife And Nature Photography

41cIkiUKeOL. SL160  Using Nikon Equipment For Wildlife And Nature Photography Nikon D5000 12.3 MP DX Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens and 2.7-inch Vari-angle LCD A remarkable blend of simplicity and highly advanced D-SLR capabilities, the compact and powerful D5000 offers breathtaking 12.3-megapixel image quality, along with a flexible, Vari-angle, Live View monitor for fresh picture-taking perspectives. Nikon’s EXPEED image processing further enhances performance, contributing to split-second shutter response and continuous shooting at up to 4 frames-per-second to capture fast action and precise moments perfectly.
Customer Review: Great camera hands down!
This is my first not so professional camera also known as entry level camera. But what really captures my attention is the UI this gives me a friendly understanding on how camera works and its features. The moment I opened the box and charge the battery and then start shooting in auto mode my very fist reaction is a WOW thing. I never thought I would be able to get a great photos in my entire life. As I tried to learn more about photography by reading books and searching online references, I have more understanding on how to set my camera with the UI. What are the factors that influence me to buy this camera? Of all the reviews you can find online they only have one common thing to say. This is the camera that is more advance than D40 if you have a much higher budget than D40, and a little brother of D90 if you cannot afford the price of D90. It means that this camera will stay with you for awhile and it won’t be obsolete like D40 in the next 3-4 years and still enjoy the rich feature of the system and a little bit less than D90.
What are your expectation from this camera as a first time buyer of entry level cameras. I would say it exceeds your expectation. I know you’re going to love taking photos “again” since you first purchased your digital camera. That’s the kind of feeling you gonna have once this thing stays in your hand. You will become more creative in taking photos and start exploring your imagination as if you are a professional photographer. And you’re pretty much satisfied with the result. A you learn and progress or maybe monetize your work. Or maybe you just want to upgrade because you have the money to spend. You are ready for the next level then this is a stepping stone camera.
The people that tend to disagree with this camera are those who had the higher end camera of course. Other than the guy who is not happy with the video of this camera everybody else will say this is a good camera. First of all you don’t want to take video with this camera without a tripod. If professional photographers recommends using tripod for taking sharp photos what else would you expect from this camera. It is not designed for taking videos it’s only an add-on feature. But it takes a high definition 720p at 24fps it would be nice for short clips with a tripod attached when your taking them. Overall I rated this five stars and hoping to upgrade to a much higher end in 2-3 years when I already start making money. If not I will continue to enjoy it and literally thousands of photos is awaiting to be taken.
Customer Review: stunning image quality, great value, dramatic upgrade from D60
Summary:
- Outstanding (absolutely stunning) image quality, especially in low light and difficult lighting (high dynamic range) situations
- 19 point-and-shoot auto modes great for beginners new to D-SLR
- Extremely easy-to-use menu system
- No compromises feature set not stripped of high-end features
- Bright vari-angle screen with LiveView for hard-to-reach shots
- Nice compact body easier to travel

Customer Review: Good Stuff
This cleaner and cloth works great. Made the glass crystal clear. I’ll buy it again when I run out.
Customer Review: OK product but not worth the price
When I buy subscription classes at local opticals, I get a bottle of liquid and a piece of cloth free. But I had to pay over $10 for the Nikon kit which is basically the same things plus three non-reusable cleaning issues.

Customer Review: I LOVE THIS CAMERA
IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A D-SLR CAMERA I HIGHLY SUGGEST THE NIKON D60. IT IS AFFORDABLE AND THE PICTURE QUALITY IS EXCELLENT. THE 18-55 ZOOM LENS THAT CAME WITH IT WORKS WELL BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A LITTLE MORE, YOU CAN PICK UP THE 55-200 LENS PACKAGE FOR UNDER $200. THIS IS A CAMERA THAT I WILL HAVE AND ENJOY FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
Customer Review: Great Camera
Camera is a “Factory Demo” and you don’t find this out until the item is shipped so it’s not exactly as it is stated in the posting. Having said that, I have had no problems with the camera, but it has one small mark on the bottom. Has taken some amazing pictures, and I’ve only really used it on the “automatic” setting.

Tips For Buying A Nikon Scope

May 27, 2009 By: edward Category: nikon lens

41HA%2BTrAGNL. SL160  Tips For Buying A Nikon Scope Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens Nikon’s 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor is a high-ratio 11x zoom lens with Nikon’s exclusive VR II Vibration Reduction technology. Nikon’s VR II provides the equivalent of a shutter speed 4 steps faster than would otherwise be possible, enabling substantially sharper pictures in challenging conditions. The Nikkor 18-200mm lens incorporates two ED glass and three aspheric lens elements to provide optimal color, contrast and clarity while minimizing chromatic aberrations and other distortion, resulting in outstanding image quality and versatility. In addition, Nikon’s compact AF-S Silent Wave Motor provides fast and quiet autofocusing while the M/A mode allows for simultaneous switching between Autofocus and manual focus operation.
Customer Review: Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Lens
I have owned Nikon cameras and lenses since 1978. When I purchased my Nikon D200 I found myself primarily using a Nikon 18 - 70 mm lens switching occasionally to a 70 - 300 mm lens. What I found was that this combination required frequent changes and meant I always had to carry two lenses. I was also never sure if the fully zoomed photos would be clear. With the purchase of the Nikon 18 - 200 mm VR Zoom lens I now can cover a much greater focal range with one lens and with the VR option do not need to worry about carrying a tripod. The Nikon 18 - 200 mm VR Zoom lens does it all. It may be the last lens I ever use and is now the only lens I carry. It also allows me to take great macro shots. If anyone owns a new Nikon digital camera I would recommend this lens without hesitation. I am extremely please with its performance.
Customer Review: D300 lenses (18-200mm)
This is my first DSLR, I just upgraded from Olympus C-8080. These lens on Nikon D300 are amazing. Worth the investment.
