Looking at a 40D(body only) with 8k actuations for $450. Good deal in 2011? Or would I be better off looking at something like a Nikon D3100
I want something to grow into and learn with
What's the best bang for the buck!
Should I sell my Canon 18-55mm after buying a 17-40mm L?
Like the title says. I recently upgraded from a Nikon D5000 to a Canon T3i with the kit lens. Just ordered a 17-40mm L lens and I was wondering if my kit lens is worth keeping?
Added (1). Wow thanks for the quick responses! Didn't expect to get so many. As for selling the lens I'm fully aware everyone has it, I just really hate keeping things if I don't need them, so I really don't care what I make off of it. I just Really don't want to keep it if I don't have to. Anyway thank you all, this helped a ton.
Added (2). I'll just keep it around a little longer then and see if this "weight" issue with the 17-40mm is going to bother me.
I'm looking for a wide angle lens for a Nikon D60?

Nikon D5100 External Flash Compatability?
I will be purchasing the 5100 shortly and I would like to get into flash photography, but am new to the flash scene.
I have been doing some research and found out the 5100 is not iTTL compatible. What would be a good external flash system for the 5100? My budget for flash is around $1, 000. I'd preferably like to get a couple, a soft box, gels, reflectors, etc. I heard the Nikon SB 600 might be a good start? I'd rather do without the cords as I do a lot of travel photography… Would a pocket wizard also be compatible with syncing the flash units?
What is the best zoom lens from nikon for my nikon d3100? I did some search and i found the lens 55-200mm could anybody tell me what its zooming? I know that the lens 18-55mm zooming is 3.
Added (1). And what's the different between this lens and tamron 55-200mm?
Will this fit on to my nikon d90?
The information on my lens of the camera says the diameter is 67 so it will fit yes? Thank you

How to set/control focus points, Nikon D3100?
I'm looking for either direct info or a link to an in-depth guide. I recently bought my first dSLR (D3100) and have just started with manual controls.
I already have a vague idea of controlling depth of field, but not quite sure what all the focus settings do and how to control what I'm focused on. While playing around with some of the auto-focus modes (single and continuous-servo AF) I noticed single point area mode would sometimes try to focus but end up blurring everything with a small depth of field, especially on macro shots with blurred background. Then other times (often immediately after not focusing correctly) I would hold down shutter to refocus (without changing anything at all) and it would focus correctly.
How do I get it to focus correctly every time and gain more control over exactly what I want in focus?
Added (1). To clarify I know the manual's definition of the focus settings. But not how they actually work, when to use each one, and how to use them to get exactly what you want in focus and nothing else.
Going to take pictures of friends baby shower tomorrow just for fun and caused they asked me to. Just bought a Nikon D5000 but have just been sticking with auto setting. I don't know a whole lot. Does anybody have some tips like what time of the day has the best light and what settings to use to get very clean crisp pictures of them as group etc
