[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 3002, member: 654"] Luvinrunnin - Thats a long drive. I actually live in Marietta which is north west of Atlanta. Maybe we can get together sometime for a shooting trip. Maybe at a rodeo and barrel racing competition. I'm glad you didn't cave in to the newbie "more speed syndrome". The highest speed I've ever used was up to 1/2000 and that was on a whale watching trip where I wanted to shoot, dead stop, the water sprays and splashes. Got some great shots. The two whale sounding shots I have in my Gallery were shot at 1/500 each and I still got good stop action. The D90 will shoot up 1/4000. I can't imagine any fast action I would want to shoot that required a 1/4000 shutter speed. If you shoot mostly out door another lens you may want to put on your want list is the Nikkor 70-300mm, f/4.5, VR. It's around $400 new. I would not get this lens without the VR feature. I've used this lens for the past four years shooting mostly nature, like the whales and bears in my Gallery.
