Well I got myself my new christmas present. A nikon D50. Thanks for the help picking it out TC. I got a pretty good deal from Wolf camera. Now I just need to learn how to use it. And ofcourse here are the mandatory kitty pictures.

awwwwwwwwww..... :cat: shots. LK!
Which one is the cat you stole from sammmy's old place?
The black one.
Nice shots! The white and tan one cracks me up!
Apparently, pet shots are required when you get a new Nikon DSLR! I took these the day I got my D70.

But I hear good things about the 18-200 VR lens for Nikon, save for the fact that its like winning the lotto if you can find one for sale! I had a 28-300mm on my pentax forever and loved that bugger, /so/ convenient but I always wished I had a 18-200 zoom instead. So I'd look into that lens if I had a Nikon!
How's the low-light focusing on the D50 majik?
I have been schlepping along with my Canon 10D for about a year. I still carry the instruction manual along all the time. I have two lenses, a Sigma 28-90mm f5.6 and a Sigma 70-300mm f5.6. I would like to add a 18-50mm to the kit, some day.Quote:

Get a digital that can use the same lenses if it's available.Quote:

I also picked up the 400 series flash and a set of macro rings among a few other odds & ends.
Love the camera 99.5%. I just wish it had a RAW picture setting. There's supposedly a hack to run 10D firmware on it to get the RAW mode. I've been chicken to install it.

Great way to get some nice glass, cheap. Which is not to say I haven't also dropped coin on some nice, new AF lenses, too! ;) But getting a DSLR body that is compatible with what you've got makes taking the plunge a lot less scary/expensive!
The only greif I have with Canon and Nikon are the massive price for their IS/VR stabilization lenses!
Cutting down on your caffeine intake is almost as effective and a heckuva lot cheaper :DQuote:

With the kit lense it is pretty slow and under very little light it hunts around a little bit. From what I understand with good glass the camera is not bad at all. I am not good enough to really need anything better.Quote:
