btw, what are the 4 lenses you are using now?

I hope this is selling below Canon 40D, or else I might switch to the white side.

My current line up:
Sony 18-70/F3.5-5.6
Minolta 50/F1.7
Minolta 70-210/F4
Tamron 90/F2.8 Macro

Going to get a Tamron 17-50/F2.8 when I go back in December. Let me play your D80 and see if it changes my mind for the dark side.

the only reason you would switch to the dark side is because of the superior handling of High ISO. Far better than what the current A100 is giving you.
Anyway, i find it hard to believe you would abandon your current lense mount format just to switch to another brand. Gonna be costly.:P

Btw, can u give me the prices you paid for the minolta and tamron lenses you bought?

On my list is
1. Nikkor 50/f1.8 (rm380)
2. Nikkor 70-300VR/f4.5-5.6 (rm1850)(thought the aperture is not so exciting)
3. sigma 150/f2.8 Macro (rm 2350)

I think Canon performs better at high ISO.

1) Minolta 50/1.7 mint - USD65 including delivery (approx. RM250)

2) Minolta 70-210/4 mint - GBP85 (approx. RM600+)

3) Tamron 90/2.8 new - RM1,380 Keycolor Mid Valley

Told u many times already, get the 50mm, u'll love it for that price.

See the Nikon VR lens is so expensive, I bought the Sony 75-300/4.5-5.6 for less than RM1k but sold it later coz of the aperture range. Btw it did performed well with the built-in stabilizer.

For the macro lens, I suggest u get the Tamron 90SP, it's a fine model since the non digital age and I really like the sharpness. IMO 90mm is more practical than 150mm for macro function. Btw I use it more for portrait rather than macro shots.

It's possible to switch. I will not lose much money on the lens selling it in UK.
