Hi everyone! I'm thinking about taking the leap into a digital SLR. The D50 is it for me. I'm thinking, though, that the 18-55 and 55-200 lens combo by Nikon...
Hi Hans. I did go for the 18-70 and I'm not sorry. My last camera had a 38-210 zoom but looking back through my old photos I realised most are taken at the ...

just got my D50. daughter is a competition cheerleader and i tried my new camera at the regionals. i used a 55-200mm lense and selected the sports preset with...
While using the 'Sport' program, and assuming you have not changed the defaults, the D50 will continuously focus on whatever is in the central focus area while...
Further to what Kevin has said try using the single area mode. The dynamic area mode (03 in the menu) apparently works very well in the high end cameras with...
Hi John, I've only just noticed your question and you've probably found the answer but if not the D and G lens are fine on the D50. The SB-25 flash will work...
Hello Andy, I wasn't sure that the dynamic area mode was in effect in the sport program. So far, my limited shooting while set to 'sport' always seemed to...
Thanks Drew, I have the camera now and played with over the weekend. As you say the D lens' seem to work just fine and I also have found that the SB 25 is...
I haven't used either John so don't go too much on what I say. The 800 is more powerful but I think, and stress think, it's better or essential if you want to...

Hi Kevin, as Marco says you really need CS2 but you can convert them to DNG files and go from there in CS. The DNG format is Adobe's attempt to make a ...
Hi all, I found this recall notice on the Nikon Europe site. I assume it applies worldwide but it gives the batch numbers that are suspect. It's not a panic...
Hi Tim, I think the D50 is a very good camera for you (of course I'm biased lol). It has modes such as auto but also sport and even a child mode which is ...
Hmm, I guess I got lucky. I bought the D50 with the two lens kit a couple of weeks back, and it actually came with an EN-EL3a... I wonder if the recall had...
Try getting away from using the auto mode features of the camera. . Practice using manual modes. Regardless of your situation be you an amateur or aspiring...
