You might not know it yet but this is really the lens you want:

It might be difficult to get at the moment but things should get better in a month or two.

EDIT: just realized that the link got mangled.

Hello guys!

I understanding that this is the best 50mm prime lens and the sharpest! And this prime lest is very chip - 100$.

I can put this on my Nikon d5100 without been arrested?

The Canon 50 1.8 is FAR from being one of the best 50mm lenses out there just to say, the 5 blade aperture aperture, plastic mount and ghastly bokeh is enough to scare even point and shoot camera owners away! It's a dog of a lens in my opinion and the Nikon 50 1.8 AF-D was a bit better but not much better.

The Nikon 50 1.8G AFS on the other hand is fantastic and cheap and well it's fantastic. If I didn't buy the Sigma 50 1.4, I would own a Nikon 50 1.8 AF-S G.

How many different lens mounts did Canon have over the last few decades?
Nikon: the F-mount

Canon batteries have longer life because CMOS sensors use less power

God only knows... Well, not really but...
As it stands now on all EOS cameras you have EF and EF-s. EF will work on both Crop and Full frame. EF-s is made to work on crop sensor only. We won't get into the few specialty things like TS-e, etc.

Now ask me which lenses on a Nikon won't work on a crop sensor? I couldn't tell you how to differentiate. But there are crop only lenses in that vast array of nikon's long lived (and much more sensible) single mount type. So with Nikon if you have an entry level camera you need to worry about what ones have the motor in them.
