What is the difference between an 18-105mm lens and an AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D lens? These are both Nikon products. An explanation would be great. Thank you!

I just bought a brand new Nikon D40 DSLR. I’m new to slr photography and I’m just looking for an advanced photographers advice. I’m just wondering what kind of memory card I should get. I saw this one at WalMart, but not sure if it’s alright to buy? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d…
I think it’s a cheap version, but I’ve never used that kind so I’m not sure what it’s like.
What do you recommend? Thank you to all who will help me.
Thanks =]

Normally I could care less what celebrities,use buy,tell us to use,whatever. But now that Nikon is using Ashton Kutcher in their ads I have eliminated Nikon from all future camera purchases. With all the qualified photographers out there, such as war photographers and others that have literally risked their lives to get the shot I feel that any camera company that would hire a celebrity,especially one that is so goofy, has lost the ability to make a decent product and is trying to make us play follow the leader with him as the leader. lol

As a professional photographer, what do you think about the Nikon D90 including a movie mode as well as in camera image editing? http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/…

As a person with no allegiance to any specific make, I find their dominating digital market share a bit intriguing.
I understand Nikon and Canon have dominated the film scene for many years, but I can’t figure out why they still have such a large following on the digital format. The cameras they design are built like film cameras which happen to store digitally, like staying to the 3:2 format, and such. Other companies are moving to a more computer friendly 4:3 format, and building digital cameras from the ground up to suit their purpose. It would seem to me that if someone wanted to shoot digitally, they would want to shoot with a camera made specifically to do just that, right?
I’m not bashing Canon and Nikon (I own a Canon and a Nikon film SLR), but I just don’t understand it. Is it because all these photographers who used to shoot on film are familiar with the Canon and Nikon feel, and don’t want to buy new lenses, or is it because they still have the best product?
