I just bought a 1GB SD card from PNY, and I noticed that it is very slow when using continuous shooting with RAW. The camera fires off 3 quick shots in about...
Does it get faster than that on other flash cards? My continuous was jpg fine which was "fine" in terms of speed. I'll try the raw at home.. Supposed to be...
Any speed above about 40x times won't affect the speed the camera sends to the card but the faster ones download to the computer faster Andy Do you think the...
Raw will shoot four at 2.5 per second and then the camera buffer fills and it slows down. The fastest I've managed is about 60 in a minute. With a slower card...
I'm new to this group and a new owner of the D50. I do a lot of traveling and my photos are really starting to add up on the hard drive of my computer. I...
I don't do this myself but I think a big factor is what formats your TV's DVD player can support. Once you determine that you can see what formats Nero has in...
Most DVD players support Jpeg format so as long as you have them on your cd or dvd as jpeg you should be good. I reccomend using Toast or a similar burning...
There are several things that affect your ability to author playable DVDs for a home player. DVD+R and DVD-R would be the place to start. Some newer DVD...
I took my 1.8 50mm with my Kenko 2X adapter and 1 toshiba No. 4 close up filter and took one picture of my watch. Here it is. I think the close up adapters...
What did you have the auto focus set to?... I have found that with the Macro I get better shots using Dynamic area. Just a thought for you. Anyone else shed...
Hi guys, I'm new to the group. I just bought a nikon D50. The salesman suggested me to buy a uv haze filter to protect the lens. Do I really need that? Which...
I just bought the D50 too. I LOVE IT!!! I think it is always a good idea to have the filter . I bought a Tiffen 52 MM UV protector. It doesn't filter as much...
A UV haze filter is about the best thing you could buy for you camera lens. Not only does it make it easier to clean, it protects the lens from scratches....
sounds like another salesman. put on a good lens shade and a lens should not be subject to any damage. Put on the neckstrap and besure to put it around your...
I always have my focus set to spot, and then move it around if I need to. In this case, it was in the center. I was thinking "Hey, this is pretty good for just...
Sounds like somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!! In my OPINION, if you want to protect your lens, then protet your lens. I have seen...
Absolutely, Ralph. I strongly doubt any salesman at any camera shop gives a rat's behind about the spare change he gets from selling a lousy UV filter. The...
We had a slow week for POTW for the last week of Feb at the Nikon DSLR Users pbase site http://www.pbase.com/nikon_dslr_users. 4 photos vs 17 the week before....
Well. There are simply differing opinions about this and each person has to decide for himself. I recently bought a uv filter for my lens; i've used them for...
I echo the suggestion to check your DVD's. I have found that some DVD players cannot handle DVD+R discs. Consequently, I almost always record on DVD-R discs....
I just joined this group today. I purchased my D50 last Sunday and I was already familiar with it as my brother owns a D100 and my Daughter owns a D50....
You're right Dale, in a lot of shots a good UV filter won't make a lot of difference. If anybody has doubts it's probably a good thing to use one but I rarely...
Skylight are not exactly the same as UV filters. And everything affects light transmission, even clear glass. The questions are how much and will you notce...
Whenever I take a picture using the a flash, (both the "on camera" flash or an external speed light (sb-800)) I usually get some form of a shadow cast by the...
I bought a quickflip stroboframe bracket. It's not cheap, especially when you factor in the special hotshoe cable you'll need, but it helps with the shadow...
The planting looks good. How long have the plants been set in the tank? I find it hard to keep the plants hugging the bottom. They tend to get too leggy, most...
