"Noob" question: D90 or D5100

[khis5184]

A 50 mm 1.8 af-d is only about $120. Amazing lens.

i have 28mm 2.8 af-d.
is 50mm 1.8 af-d better than 28mm 2.8 af-d?
also, i shot in jpeg. is jpeg ok or should i shoot in raw?


@orb9220
can you please give me some basic advise on how to edit images in lightroom 3.6 (like how to start and what things should i adjust)? im still a newbie and i like to shoot landscape and portrait.

On a dx camera, 50mm is mild telephoto, so good for portraits, closer up people shots. 28mm is mild wide angle, so better for landscapes, general people and group shots. So one is not better than the other, just different lenses for different purposes.

As for RAW v. JPEG, there's a million threads on this topic. I shoot in jpg and am happy with it but there's a ton of people who prefer raw. Just preference and how much time you like spending editing photographs.
