First post ... Also joined the D90 club today ...
Bought it with the 35mm F1.8 AF-S Lens, the 10-24mm wide angle zoom and 55-200mm VR lens as per the recommendations on Ken Rockwell's site which I found linked from this very thread.
I was also very surprised how much closer the high street prices were compared to online. On the above items plus a tripod and head, remote shutter infra red shutter release, Crumpler bag and a couple of 8gb memory cards the difference between the two was so close I could only go with high street in the end, especially as Nikon have given me £150 cash back on the 10-24mm lens.
The D90 manual takes a while to get through though !!!
welcome and nice starter collection of lenses there.
back to the books recommendations, having read the pdf Ken overview and part way through the manual. the manual doesn't explain things aswell as Ken's view, which I found quite good.
Is it worth a specific D90 book over Ken's write up?
