I have the TS3 and love it. I'm gonna sell the D3s and just use it...

Anyone have any experience with the 55-200mm VR? B&H has it on sale for 150. seems like a pretty good deal. I'll probably pick one up
I've actually tested one extensively. Anything in specific you want to know about it?Quote:

Here are some points:
- Huge bang for the buck, image quality is way beyond it's (low) price range
- Standard kit lens build quality, nothing special
- Micro AF motor rather than a true SWM ring motor
- The lens is slow, being f4-5.6
- Front element does not rotate like some other cheap kit zooms, so it's polarizer friendly
- You cannot manually override the AF on the fly
For $150 you can't go wrong, that's for sure, all things considered. Memory express has it on for $204 if you prefer local. Don't expect miracles and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with it.
Just make sure it's the VR version. The Non-VR one is quite a bit worse optically.
Let me know if you guys come across any good deals on tripods with video fluid heads!
Also in the market for a slider for video. Might just build one myself though.
I've been checking some sites but I don't want to miss out on a good deal if one ever comes up!
headsup, they didn't actually come to deliver it. :thumbsdow it was forwarded to UPS. the dates on the delivery appointment don't mean anything. hope they didn't waste your time.Quote:

Son of a bitch lol.Quote:
[Adorama] GF3+2 lens for $499US :eek:
the lens in the package aren't very tempting though. I suppose you can sell these two for most of the package price? haha
did anyone miss out on the Canon sd4000is from Sears, but is still interested? I ordered and received one (red), but really have no use for it. I opened the box, looked at the camera, and put it back. at cost $126 before it goes to kijiji
It's a decent camera with an F2.0 lens and digic 4. Takes decent photos for a point and shoot.Quote:

Gave the one I ordered to my wife to replace her old SD1000. Smoking deal for $126.
Mine was delivered on the day I selected. I have a concierge in my building (living in a condo while my house is built) and he took delivery.Quote:

Wish I could get a concierge for my house. hahaha
it's a good deal, but still not needed. my old 870is still works and I never use that one either. I pretty much only use my phone camera so I'd rather put the money into an olloclipQuote:

GF2 w/lens was on for $349 yesterday on newegg.ca...all sold out now. Not quite as good as the $289 from before, but it might be one worth watching if anyone really wants that.
when was that posted? it's on for 349 at SIG and i think aden has it for a bit more with a 2nd battery. apparently ebay batteries won't show capacity properly?
broadwaycamera still has it for 359 for a while, and 399 with pancake. these prices are here to stay.
I got an e-mail notification telling me the price was $349 yesterday. For black Friday deals it was on for $289.Quote:

I didn't know that it is around that same price at lots of places though. I'd buy one at $289 but probably not for any more than that.
Shoppers Drug Mart have the "white top" Pre-Charge Rechargeable Duracell for sale at $9.99 (vs $20.99).
The "white top" battery is rebranded Eneloop, 2000mAh, 1.2v, Made In Japan.
