I am buying nikon d3000 and want to know what a VR / media. Also I wonder what f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX … if you could clarify that I would greatly appreciate
It is the first range of goals that most of photographers use. Wide-angle ranges from average (for shooting landscapes and group shots) to medium telephoto (used for portraits or head and shoulders of shots) later, you will want to buy a 55-200 mm * covers the standard zoom allows left and sports photography, the action and some wildlife. The other option would be something like the angle of 10 to 24 mm wide zoom, used for dramatic wide angle shots. Of the three combined lens, you will be using the 18-55 mm.
