Hi all....i am new here and really want to go back to photography after i sold my P&S DC recently. So i am planning for the 1st DSLR, i am originally a C user, but don't like the 350D design and was so impressed with the professional feel of the N 50 or 70s, so i decide to go for N. And i am preparing to use this one as a start kit for my path to be a photography enthusiast, and i don't think i have the time to be a professional. So i have narrow down to the D50 or D70s (Coming D200 is out my budget), after i did some reseach on the net, i have the following findings and would like to share with all of you and need some feedbacks to help,
Some major concerns for my decision
D50 as compared to D70s:
Pros: $500 cheaper, lighter and more compact, claimed using a new CCD chip which seems to have better noise performance and less moire / maze artifact pattern, Nikon Matrix metering II which is new design, faster usb transfer rate
Cons: Kit lens not as good as D70s, No DOF Preview, No WB finetune, No backlight on LCD, No viewfinder grid lines,
I almost bought the D50 few days ago, since for image quality wise it performs almost identical to D70s, but one friend which called himself prosumer user told me should go for D70s since it have a bette lens and the 18-70mm coverage is better for normal use, so i a bit wondering now. And 2 more things i also quite concering is the DOF and WB fineture function on the 70s, is it very useful and important?
welcome all positive suggestions and discussions........:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
