Being that there were no brand names mentioned for the bag, tripod, 2X lens, and wide angle lens, they probably aren't that great. And yes, what you are really paying for is the Nikon D90 camera body and the Nikkor lenses (18mm-55mm zoom, 70mm-300mm zoom, 50mm). None of these are VR lenses, though. Probably don't need it with the 18-55 or the 50, but you really need it most with the 70-300 because its so big and heavy, especially when zoomed all the way out to 300mm. I think the biggest question in my mind is: is 18mm going to be wide angle enough for what Lee needs the camera most for (shooting inside and getting the entire room in the frame)? Obviously, it depends on the room's dimensions. I will try to dig up some information online about this that will give some definite answers.

Lee hang on then...
If you need low light shots, these lenses may not be for you.. they are not "good glass" as we say. The wides angle in your package is the 18-55 and its only a 3.5, not that fast and without the VR/IS you cant really handhold at slower speeds. Let me check with my buddy, he has used shop in the area and I also have a friend working in the BH Photo used dept as well. Just as an example the Canon body I use currently cost about 1100 and my lenses 1600.... I know thats pro level and not what you need but its the lenses that make the difference |

What are your plans for this camera...hobby or professional...
Ever try an Olympus E-520? Vibration reduction is built into the body, not the lenses... http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...ssage=29941632 |

I have already ordered it but I have til jan 31 09 to return it. It is still a damn good starting point for me and especially my pocket book. I can still build upon this set up over time and then have one hellava set up.
the lens that you speak of with the vr are way up there. So I will have to live and learn with what I ordered. I think |

so not really low-light shots then in the way I see them... in a wedding hall, lights dimmed way down, people moving..
Im sure youll be more than happy with your purchase then and like we all agree you can always add. Any time you need, feel free to ask, there are great deals to be had in used as long as the condition is good you better post up your results senor' when you start shooting |

You're right, and all three do have great reputation. I am a Nikon bigot myself, though.

I agree with Thrasher, I have a D40 and the 70-300vr lens and it is a great set up, but I do have my eye on a couple more pieces of glass but i have to wait, the D90 is a great camera and add a 18-200vr it would be a awesome .
