dun be too quick to jump on a statementWhat is this trinity you are talking about?
I wouldn't get a third party lens probably because it's my understanding that you lose things like image stabilisation/VR and silent wave motor/USM.
I read that digital cameras, unlike film cameras, tend to show a bit of noise with long exposures at night time (even with low ISOs)...is that true?

who says third party lens you will lose out things? third party lenses do make lens with silent wave motor/HSM/USM. this is to accommodate to camera bodies with no internal focusing motor.
Hi TS
firstly. Pls dont make sweeping statements. makes you sound like a fool.
secondly. as a newbie, do you think the difference of 12-bit and 14-bit gg to make you a better photographer?
thirdly. Kenrockwell says "all i need is a d40". here he is trying to say that you dont need those expensive camera ( as a hobbyist ) to take stunning pictures. ( my interpretation )
fourthly, you sound like a canon supporter ( shooting down Nikon stuff most of the time ), then why bother thinking abt D90. get 500D then
fifth, it is not really up to the camera to decide if you do get stunning images. but it is YOU who makes the difference. no matter how good the camera is, if you not good at photography you will not get good images. so think it is better if you emphasize more of your skills rather than on the make/build of the camera
six, Canon Or Nikon, once you go thru the image in Photoshop, alter the colors, reduce the noise bla bla bla. it doesnt really matter which camp you go for. 2 similiar images taken by the 2 camera mention may just have the same output after photoshop.
Cheers

im nt too sure on that. but will you die/ not capable of taking pictures if there is no such functions?
A lot of Nikon user are satisfied with their lenses and they chose to keep their glass rather than sell it and grab better one. I think thats the reason its hard to find cheap 2nd hand nikon lenses and 2nd hand markdown prices is almost like price of new one. Canon on the other hand, It seems a lot of canon user selling prosumer lens to buy L lens.
oh im just voicing my opinion that your statements are sweeping. just my opinion.
the VR/IS just allows you to shoot at a slower shutter speed without introducing blur. smth that you can overcome with either bringing the ISO higher so you can have a comfortable shutter speed or you just have to practise and overcome that hand held blur. VR/IS are recent technologies. there werent any during the film days. images do comes out stunning.. technology doesnt solve everything. Learn to overcome shortcoming.
yeap i guess so. then may as well you go for SONY. it has in built IS in the body. coz nt all lenses have VR/IS. then you wont miss out on all the WOW pictures you can take.For a walkaround lens at least I definitely want VR/IS. I don't want the noise associated with higher ISOs and its really handy not having to carry a tripod around at times. I've even noticed with my P&S what a blessing it can be. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

haha. it is funny how different ppl can interpret sentence differently. haha. well. i leave it to you.
oh. mayb you might wan to do some research. there are lenses with one VR and some two VR ( correct me if im wrong) from the nikon camp. smth like horizontal and vertical VR or smth like that. smth for you to read up.
Definition of 'ALWAYS' from Merriam-Webster dictionary:
ALWAYS
1) at all times - invariably
2) forever, perpetually
3) at any rate: in any event
I don't see any definition like "often, most of the time"
I don't want to start another Canon-Nikon debate here.
I just want you to be careful of the words you write. Especially since this is a newbies subforum. If you make these sort of statements sounding like a pro or an experienced photographer, newbies would tend to believe you. Since your statement is not true ALL THE TIME, please don't make such statements.
I would have preferred you say something like "some of the more popular lens choices, such as the 50mm f/1.8, tend to be cheaper than their Nikon counterparts". That statement is true.
hey man. some ppl are just plain particular abt english. some just think they are btter. get used to it. we are in CS. a pool of different kind of ppl. cheer up mate. let him be.bo liao, simply bo liao. until this stage still want to correct people english usage. you just want me to use my words carefully but in the first place who do you think you are, CS english teacher isnt? yes, maybe my england is not powderful but i am sure my intention definately give certain drive to TS.
