I am planning to buy my first DSLR camera. but im choosing between a Nikon D40 or Nikon D60. But one thing bothers me is that the lens included in the d60 has a vibration reduction which i think is very useful but in a d40 included lens there is none. I know lots of photographers would want a d40 and save money to buy nice lenses. So help! Thank you so much!
In a very short time you can learn how to hold your camera to reduce camera movement when shooting. The technique is very similar to shooting a firearm … good bracing of the camera, breath control and squeezing the shutter release.
Until you get into focal lengths of over 100 mm, you really do not need VR or IS, unless you are a photojournalist and want to avoid using flash as much as possible, but then you would be using a Nikon D3 and a 24-70 mm f/2.8 lens.
If you buy the D40, you will be able to have a 18-55 mm ED lens AND a 55-200 mm VR lens for under $550. Look on Amazon for the camera lens combination you want.
