Hi, I'm wondering what lens should i get if i'm into taking wildlife, close-ups? What do you guys think of the Sigma DG APO 70-300mm for a newbie like me? Or any other recommendations?
Do u have a budget to work with? Do u intend to do MACRO as well?
WifeLife is too general to give u any gd advice.
Can consider this Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 DG

You trying to take:
1) animals at the zoo
2) migrating whales from the shore
3) eagles in flight
4) animals on african safari
5) etc
6) etc
How far do you estimate the wildlife to be, and how big are they?
Face fill the whole frame, or just as a subject against the background?
You have full-frame or crop-body camera?

What kind of wildlife?
Zoo/Cats/dogs, the 70-300mm lens should be sufficient.
For bird photography, 150-500mm would be better.

What the heck is that?
Is that referring to Tiger Woods' wife, the Tigress??
I believe that D90 is a full-frame camera as i read it somewhere. As i'm still new, i am still unsure what a full-frame or crop-body camera is. My budget is around 600dollars and i'm keen in getting a lens that can take animals in the zoo, birds at the beach, insects. Be it face fill the whole frame, or just as a subject.
Nope. D90 is a cropped sensor cam my friend
With ur budget, i reckon u get this for a start, alot of raves/gd reviews abt it..
Alright will look into it. what does a cropped sensor and full frame does?
cropped sensor crops the picture lor
haha.
Cropped sensor is basically a sensor that is smaller than the old 35mm film standard size.
Therefore a lens would project an image that can cover the full 35mm frame, but the cropped camera (as D90 is) only sees a smaller portion of it, thus giving the effect of 'cropping' the full image.
The 'full-frame' sensor, as the name suggests, is self-explanatory.
