    sometimes the cheaper ones can be a little slower than the more expensive ones, but its really just the same shit.better off spending more to get more cards, than alot on one good one with half the memory.

    sooooo expensive! like $3,000 vs $800

    probably makes up in quality, but still!!

    whats the difference between the

    Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED and Nikon AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II Lens

    yeh but skizza, 3000 is top of the line nikon. best lenses available.
    an 800 sigma will no where near compare in quality. its like comparing d2 to cusco. u get what u pay for.

    not sure on the differences, but research the 'ED' and 'IF-ED' acronyms and that will be able to tell you.
    also the VR II is the newer version of the vibration reduction. it works better.

    on the topic of comparing things its like comparing Passion Pop to Moët

    hmm.. yeah the 'IF-ED' is about $400-$500 cheaper.. probably just the older version, may look into it.. see if thats worth the moooneys

    EDIT: Been reading reviews on this 'IF-ED' version, and it seems to be the way to go over the sigma any day. I also read that there is a large gap in quality between the sigma and these two lenses
