Arts & Humanities - 11 September 2007

I'd like to upgrade to DSLR, but after buying a body (D80) I will only have about $250 to spend on a lens. I've read lots of reviews on the cheaper models and they all seem to have lots of negatives, be it slowness, distortion, fringing, CA or softness. So I'm wondering if the cheap SLR lenses are just crap compared to good SLR lenses or if they are crap compared to point and shoot lenses as well.

Also, what would be the cheapest Nikon (Nikkor, Tarmon, Sigma...) lens is that will outperform the best point and shoot lenses like Sony's Carl Zeiss and Panasonic's Leica.

I always hear about how brave the police and fire fighters were. Don't get me wrong they totally desevre it! But so do the 12 EMT's. These 12 EMT's ran to ground zero to start treating people and doing triage. These 12 EMT's are heros as well! I think it's time we start treating EMT's like the hero's they are.

Is it a few weeks? Or a few days or something? Can someone please give a general estimation. I know it can all be different. Thanks.
