Well, the writer's pretty much just regurgitating what I write, since he's not coming up with anything brilliant on his own. It's sort of a weird situation, but I'll keep sending stuff back until the writing gets to where I want it to be.
Oh man, that Tamron looks SO good. Does it attach to your Nikon ok? I read in a few places that the 18-70mm has a lot of distortion, but don't know how much or if it's a nitpicky pro photographers thing. Guess I'll just have to walk into a store and try them out for myself!

Eeeeexcellent! Thank you for the info. I'm thinking of only buying the body now and getting the 17-50mm. My current camera has this crazy paparazzi zoom that really isn't all that useful.

What are you going to do with your old one?? Maybe I'll buy it off you? I'm always waffling on whether to invest in a completely new one or not. It'd be nice to have the D80, though...... Are things cheaper around Black Friday?

I've been snooping around Van's craigslist too - lots of places are selling them new for not much more than a used (like $50 difference). The US still has them for much cheaper, though.
I think I'll hold off until I know where I'm staying in the US, though - probably have to drop a buttload on temporary furniture. Sigh... I should sell my old camera! Where do you find out how many clicks these things have?

They've got a relocation package for me! I just don't know what it is or where yet. My relatives lived too far away - I want to live close enough so that I can just bike there. Winter in LA should be more bearable!

Yes! From what I've seen the apartments are pretty huge around there. And we can go to Disneyland =3
