i know d50 doesnt have auto iso!
hmm would a auto iso come in handy for a amatuer?
i understand that iso is the sensitivity of film to light?
but how does it affect a dslr,since dslr doesnt use film or negative for its photographs?
okaye. :embrass: i am reallly clueless abt this.
please tell me more?
but i have more or less decided on d50? just that i will go read up more on it and the canon dslr cameras for comparison!
alright! hmm but when's sitex!
hey , you know i understand that d50 kit lens will include AF-S DX 18-55 mm lens , bt does it also come with Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G AF Lens?
when i buy d5o off the shelf, does it mean it really only provides the body only without any lense at all?

hmmm alright i got it! thanks alot!
hmm am i right to say that these lenses are interchangeable?
as in if i get the 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G AF Lens it will be good enough since it covers a wider focal range than the AF-S DX 18-55 mm lens ?
and that's DX lenses are lens for a more generic use and unless i want to specialise in other types of photography like nature , i wldnt need lenses like zoom or telephoto lens? or even normal lens?
what are the types of lens you guys own! and what are they use for ! and which wld you recommend!
eh must be kidding, d40 for professional/experienced? it is the most basic out of basic dSLR one can get in the market(new) already...
for your info, the top LCD is being replaced by the main LCD, you can view all the info from there. and no... it doesn't mean AF-S = DX lens.. take a look at 70-200VR, 28-70...etc for cheaper one, they have the 18-70, 18-55, 55-200, 70-300VR. not much but a 18-70/18-55 + 55-200 is good enough for started.I seriously thinks that a beginner won't really get much out of a D40.. Why? It's a bit complex.. (In my opinion, so don't flame me)
First, it can only fit DX lens, meaning that a lot of cheaper beginners lens can't be used. So either you have a budget for all the VRs, or you will be stuck with the kit lens.
If I am not wrong, EV adjustments are in steps of 1.0!! Now, perhaps a more experienced person are able to fool the camera to really get what he wants (Via Manual). Else, for a beginner, unless he just shoot and hope for the best, else, for fine exposure tuning, it can be quite difficult.
Also, D40 don't have the top panel, thus, a lot of details have to see via Viewfinder or worse the menu. Which, I think the beginners won't be too accustomed to.
Please be reminded that I am only pointing out why a beginner should not be getting a D40, but a D50 / D80 instead. In fact, I still thinks that D50 is a very very good beginners camera.
D40, for me... I think will be for a 2nd camera so that you don't have to frequent change lens, or a leisure 2nd camera. One that is used when you just want something small and light for a light walkabout trip.
The TS does have a rather nice budget so it's actually ok to go digital as well. Nowadays, the margin in cost between digital and film is much less than it was last time so feel free to start out on digital.
There are also various films to experiment on... maybe velvia2 the comeback?
Film colours are still nicer... Tt's my perception...
i know too.. but the learning curve of slr is so costly, it 's going to cost alot with each and every experimentation that goes wrong? and lol. i don think i will be signing up with any photography course so which mean alot of learning on my part is going to be thru trial and error?
ahhaha and for that , i seriously dont think i can afford it..or be excited and too anticipative to see the photos only to have them all screwed up?
