eBay is sso annoying. I won a D80 + Kit lens on the 26th Sep, paid immediately and I've only had a single response that the seller would post it. 3 working days later and it isn't here. What do you guys think I should do? Seller had 100% feedback and I paid by CC through paypal...
I actually wouldn't recommend buying a camera body online due to reasons of possible fraud and it might be hard to repair/return if the camera got a problem.
But in your case, I think all you can do is wait. 3 days is not long at all, but no harm emailing the seller. A good seller will respond in 24 hours time letting you know whether the item is sent already or not.

i agree and besides if you shop at your local camera store they are more
apt to work with you to get repeat business.
Looks like I won't be getting a negative feedback, I think the seller worries I might give him the same (of course). But anyway, I got a mention in his relisted ad, and still, he still didn't change the description.
I personally think it's very wrong to describe a wrong product in your eBay ad, and only provides the actual product when you click the link for the review of the product. I should make a complaint but can't be bothered.
i was thinking of getting a telephoto lens but kinda torn between the 55-200mm vr and the 70-300mm vr. they both seem to be very nice prosumer lenses but was wondering if anyone here has had experience with both? the price difference is almost double for the 70-300mm. i'm not sure when i'm going to need the telephoto but i figure it'd be good to have one on my bag. most of the time, i shoot with the tamron 17-50mm and it seems to do the job nicely.

as soon as funds permit the 70-300 will be my next purchase.
the 70-300 is the best consumer range telephoto. If I couldn't afford the 80-200/70-200sigma/nikkor, I would pick up the 70-300mm vr myself.
I'm trying very hard to sell my 80-200 2.8 to get the 85mm 1.4 af
most reviews seem to indicate that the 70-300mm is quite sharp as is the 55-200. i'd go for the 70-200mm f/2.8 but i can't really afford that right now either. comparing pop photo's performance charts, they both seem to be comparable up to 200mm and hence the dilemma.
i've recently picked up a 50mm f/1.8. this isn't the D version but early indications from a few pictures seem to show this being a pretty good lens. it seems to be long enough to be a good portrait lens also.
