Now what is the difference between a Tamron and a Canon lens?

Both review's say there slow But if i was choosing i would choose the Tamron.

I personally would stick with Canon's or Nikon's.

livingdustmops · 11-20-2009, 08:42 AM

I really, really want the Nikon D90 and I would love to be able to take pictures and video's with the same camera.

That's what I've made my mind up to get. Although, I do like the D5000 and I've seen some great pictures taken with the Canon Rebel series. I've done so much reading & research on DSLR's I don't even want to think of looking into another possiblity. Call me lazy - I'm just going to stick with the research I've already done.

I love my D5000 ! I'm not having lens issues either. My 55-200 lens WITh motor was only $99 at best buy

I also don't want anything that's going to break the bank lol.

Brit, I just bought the canon 50mm 1.8 prime lens. It is only like 95.00 and I love it. It has a 1.8 fixed aperature so the background blur is great. Not a zoom lens but perfect for everyday shots, portraits, low light shooting and I even did some macro shots. I got it from Amazon.

Here's a couple of pics with the canon 50mm 1.8 prime lens

Sorry I meant 50mm fixed focal length. The aperature can be adjusted but 1.8 is wide open. Give very shallow depth of field at the 1.8.
