Reading mode: Light Dark

I never should have bought the D50

Go to last post
I also agree with others over this camera, their is always so much hype on cameras and the design label, I think reading on some forums this camera's main knock seems to be the kit lense, easy resolved buy a body then choose your lense as I did, well pleased with the set up, yes their are things that the camera does not have like others, but I think people seem to forget this camera body is in the back pocket money range, for this reason I think the camera is fantastic. The first slr I bought in the early 1970's cost me over 7 weeks wages, was an apprentice at the time. Spec's then were a joke compared to today.
 
Congratulations Randy. Happy for you. Good choice. Before long you will want some reach too.

What lens are you getting?

I was planning to buy the body and the 18-70 mm.Then later a 50mm 1.8 since i realy like natural light evening shots :0). Iam going for the expensive kit lens since iam quite picky and had to convince myself that the d50 is just as good picturewise as the 350d, and i think the better lens does the trick :0)

Hope its the right choise, but i prefer to buy a lense that is a bit better, and that i can keep for long time.

Funny about the boat, it was just suddenly lying there on the
beach. It has now been lying there for more than 14 days.

By the way torben which SD card are you using. I was vondering if the camera can use the more expensive ones to the fullest or if slower and cheaper ones can keep up ?

Best wishes

Thanks

I bought a X4-store 1Gb with the camera. Never heard of it before. It works great. Later I bought a Transcend 1Gb too. I also works great. This week a supermarket chain had offers for SD cards, so I thought I would try one. I also works great, even in cont. mode. The brand is called MicroMemory. So I never had problems even though I don't have any expensive cards.

wow, great shots!

the first one is absolutely jawdropping :)

the second one is somehow an impostor in the bunch, if I may say, cause it seems like just a snapshot compared to the others.

great work.

cheers,
Zrinko.

Aldi ??

Do you still get the almost 3 frames per sec with those cards ??

Yes from Aldi. I tried to shoot in continous in raw and I got the same amount of shot, maybe a little slower than with the Trancend card, but nothing that you could measure without a stopwatch. We are talking tenths of a second.
