I have decided to buy a camera. The camera shops I visited suggest choosing either the Nikon N60 or the Canon Rebel 2000. After reading the advice of several people, I think I will choose the Nikon. Now should I buy:
- a Nikon zoom lens (28-80 mm); or
- a little bit more expensive zoom lens by Sigma or Tamron
(28-105 mm)
Do the non-original lens work properly? Could I have problems using third party lenses? Do you suggest the Sigma lens or the Tamron lens? Thanks very much for your help.

I would get the Nikon lens. Have a great time and visit Nikonians :-) JRP

Nikon lenses are considered to be very good, that is one major reason why a photographer would choose to buy a Nikon camera. If it were me I would choose the Nikon lens, but it depends what you are going to be using it for. If you are going to use it for regular consumer uses, I would get the Sigma or Tamron, because of its flexibility.
Editor's Note: You'll also benefit from visiting Klaus Schroiff's Photo Zone which offers independent information on lens performance, users' lens reviews, camera system evaluations and much more.
