New Nikon D3100 DSLR + 4 New Lenses

[Old Timer]

I bought my D700 2 years ago as a kit with the 24-120 VR lens. All my other lenses were fix aperture pro type and I didn't think I would like the 24-120 at all but the price was right on the kit so I took a chance. I couldn't have been more wrong. The 24-120 has turned out to be very versatile with very acceptable quality and now is my go to walk about lens taking he place of the 28-70 that use to live on my camera. Couldn't be more pleased and surprised.

That's good news. The new 24-120 is actually a new design with f4 constant maximum aperture. Sound really promising.

I can understand the 28-70 not being the ideal walk-around lens. I think mine is great but I only use it on serious shoots when I want to frighten away the other photographers with a Monster lens. Or if I'm in dim light and I need that f2.8 maximum aperture so the autofocus works fast and sure.

BTW GB1 about the 100,000 ISO setting - that's on the D3S (FX). The D300S seems to have much the same sensor as the D300 i.e. 200-6400 ISO maximum. Which is already enough for most things.
