Let’s face it this is going to be a low budget Christmas, but that doesn’t mean that we have to go completely without any new toys under our tree. The AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED will be a good addition to any Nikon DSLR photographer’s bag, whether he uses one of the DX models [...]

What if you could take only one camera and two lenses with you on a trip around the world. What camera body and two lenses would you take?
I would take my Nikon D300 camera, plus my Nikkor DX 17-55mm f/2.8 and Nikkor DX 12-24mm f/4 lenses. As you can see from the image at [...]
