They seem to have removed the rrp of the D50 from the Nikon site but I seem to remember it was quite a bit above the £325 -£350 it now sells for - near £500 I think. Won't take long after that...

Reading a report by someone who was at the presentation, they were able to take pictures but not take them away with them. Looks pretty good for the price bearing in mind most models drop fairly...

I had a similar problem with my D70 last year and it took two weeks including initially sending it to warehouse express, so fingers crossed for you! This is one of those things that makes me think...

Like the adaptor rings you can use to fit Nikkors to Canon bodies??
Latest news putting the 'D80' at $899 seems to confirm it's place in the market - tweaked D70s with 10.2mp - a bit faster all...

Well I don't want to get into that old and pointless Canon v Nikon debate as to me it's a matter of which suits you best but we must agree to differ on the relative merits of the 350D and D50! I have...

Mmmm....the D70/70s is the obvious candidate for replacement. A model between the D50 and D200. The D50 is comparatively new and certainly holds its own against the 350D Canon - hence the number of...

The 'reach' of lenses

Two sets of photos taken with a Tamron 28-300mm on one D50 body and a Nikkor 75-300mm on the other - both set to 300mm. Picking up first one and then the other and shooting from as nearly identical...

Hmm - and just makes it harder for genuine sellers with quality stuff - I think i'm on 454 100% at the moment! Why can I never get people to have a bidding frenzy on my things!!??

I had a sigma 170-500 for a couple of days before sending it back - it's not ultra heavy - AF is slow as might be expected - but it extends such a long way it's really uncomfortable to hold. A bit...

Mmm - allI need to do now is to find out which firmware I have - it does'nt seem to appear in te menu. As the camera is new I would assume it's the latest. Thanks for help.

Thanks. I've checked the Fuji website and the only upgrade re lenses is for the 18-200 VR. This seems to be the same problem though - the lens itself shows infinity and does'nt move. Try pointing at...

Nikon AF-S lenses on Fuji

I've just bought a Nikon 24-85mm AF-S ED f3.5-4.5G lens - special offer from Warehouse Express and research showed it looked like the short zoom that would fit the bill. On my D50 it's brilliant [or...

I'll sort a couple of examples of the sort of thing i mean. I suppose it's just an exposure/noise thing. I've always had this problem - it's not specific to the S3 - if I'd been using my D50 i'm sure...
