Hi Guys ...

Whos using one of these ?...how are you finding it ?...I bought one and a couple of lenses yesterday. I'd been using digital format gear for a while but only in the Snapshot standard.This has moved it up a gear. Couple of things i'm not 100% certaian about though. I Know i will miss the DOF prewiew but will i realy need it in the enviroment that this camera will be used..

The optimise image menue seems a bit confusing..but do you use this function that much..? Can you get a LCD cover ?... the lack of this bugs me slightly.... Any comments welcome..

Quality stuff though init....

for something so reasonably priced.

Thaks .Dave.

Hey, Dave,

Check out this site...

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond50/

The D50 appears to be a very good camera, at a great price.

I have a D70 as my third Nikon SLR (Ftn and 6006 film cameras). I am extremely satisfied with the D70, and if I were getting a camera today, would be either the D70s or D50... Good combination of price/features/performance. One thing for sure... The camera has a learning curve, but has tremendous capability

HTH

Jim

Thanks for the link Jim ..

Yeah... third Nikon for me too... An FE with those Series "E" lenses..

..F601 and Autofocus glass... I must admit to having an affair wit a couple of Mamiya 6x7's ..but they were big girls who demanded a fair bit of attention and work... but they gave me enough material for a "Panel" of 20x16 Ifochrome classic prints at the Royal photographic society. Id forgotten how smooth and slick the Nikon bodies are... Had to go and have a play around this morning even though the weather was a bit iffy...

Treadstone

In regard to your asking to your missing features in regard to your D50

Frankly, I wouldn't loose a lot of sleep over it.

GREAT company to be dealing with!

I own both a Nikon D50 and a D200. I took the first photo with the D200 and the bottom two with the D50.

Nice pics. I like the second photo where the sun appears to be reflecting off of the prop.

I was thinking about going to the airfield today though there is going to be a fly-in soon anyway. However, if I took a few pix today--that may be good practice for the upcoming fly-in.

Edit: I made it to the airfield today.

How do you guys get the pics to post bigger instead of a thumbnail? I've tried different resolutions and they come up as a thumbnail no matter if it's a 150k size pic or 3mb? What's the trick? Thanks.

Marty

You need to "link" the photo instead of upload it as an attachment.

For example:

[image][/image]

Then insert the photo link between the image tags.

After receiving a PM, here is another example:

After the Photo has been uploaded/hosted on a website (even this site using "POST REPLY"

,
Right click the mouse over the photo (where ever the photo is hosted)*,
Click on Properties
Right click on address/url
Right click "Select All"
Right click over the address/url once again and click "Copy" to copy the address/url
Click Ok

*NOTE: There is a script used on some websites that will also prevent people from right clicking on photos, so they can't copy or hotlink to the photos.

Then in the message window:
Click "image" and
Then Insert the image address/url between the image tags.

[image]insert address here[/image]

Check out the Nikon D40, truly rocks, can't beat it for the price. Using it and Adobe CS2, not much it can't do.
