When i was at silverstone a couple of months ago, it pissed it down all day. I used one of those waterproof ponchos they give out, wrapped the camera up in it and stuck the lens through the neck hole/hood. Worked a treat!
massive leap as said, and you'll need more than a 50mm to do weddings. Its a shed load of money for the body and probably the same again for decent glass.
If you can justify spending the best part of £5k on camera equipment or get jobs which will pay for it, then do it!
Met up with my sister today in oxford and took a few quick pics. I'd love to spend a bit more time there as there is some very impressive architecture. There is a bit of processing on some to try and improve on the overexposed skys.
its a well put together and great vid, but they've cleary done loads of editing and probably took him 100 goes to do each bit. the camera on top of the car magically disappears 1/2 way through!
Daylight its fine, superb quality. Under artificial lights, it flickers noticably. I found that this can be eliminated by pointing the camera at some midtones/shadows, where the wavy lines disappears, then holding exposure lock and recomposing on the subject. Hey presto the lines are completely...
Got my D90 today, and I've noticed some nasty wavy lines on the video mode when shooting indoor.

Looks like its a problem with neon lights (50hz) and 24fps.
Its a good all round lens, and will be perfect for walking round a city with. It does nothing particularly well though, although the VR system works a treat.
Just ordered one from jessops - managed to get them to price match with an online retailer and got it for £599 & free delivery.
I've sold a fair bit of kit to make way for this - i hope its worth it.
