Compared to the price of the camera, the cards are inexpensive. I paid £1200 for the D200, and £73 including tax and P&P for a 2GB compact flash card with 100x data transfer speeds. But then again,...

I picked one up, what the hell, it would be worth the cover price, but it turned out to have a 1" rip down the side, and will probably fall apart on the first field trip.

Jim: You looked at the AF version. I have the MF version which only goes to 1:2. So in other words Nikon use micro (their term) for 1:2. I think the 70-180 micro zoom also only goes to about 1:1.3. ...

Macro is not necessarily for life size or bigger. My Nikon 200mm F4 micro only goes to 1:2 i.e. half life size. Manufacturers seem to use macro to mean anything between 1:4 and 1:1.

All good advice. There is also performance monitor:

Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Performance.

That can also be used to work out which resources are maxing out.

For dragonflies you need at least 200mm on FF so about 150mm on APS in my experience. I have had success with a 105mm lens on FF with dragonflies, but it is hard work. 200mm on APS is so much easier....

Yes SATA is the route I would take were I to upgrade the disk for the reasons you give.

I doubt adding 1GB RAM would slow the system. I have 1GB + 512 MB and that was much faster than 2 x 512 MB....

The most obvious speed gain can be obtained by doubling your RAM. You should notice an improvement even adding 512MB.

The AMD processors are supposed to be very good indeed.

Yes I think that will almost happen although semi-compact digicams with more complex lenses and functions will remain. At the moment camera phones are poor cameras so we have a few years to go yet. ...

Your reasons are nothing to do with the quality of the photos. They are to do with other factors specific to you. Having to buy a D200 battery - which can be used in the D50/70 but not vica versa -...

The D200 and D2x WILL take better photos than the D50, though as you correctly point out, the D50 has better noise characteristics at high ISO.

His Close Ups In Nature book is also very good. Basically anything by him is worth buying. The only problem is that they are old so do not address digital issues. Leif

As the title says.
