Hi - I'm new to Nikon so please forgive what is undoubtedly a daft question to all of you. Reading here and reading reviews I get the distict impression that there was (is) a developement progression which was (is) D40; D60; D80; D90 but all discussion seems to ignore mention of D70 and D700 (and the D50 developed from the D70). Should it be D60; (D50); D70; D80; D90; D700; D800 ??? And if so, why does the D70 get left out all the time...

I hear that5 the ML-3 remote control is attached to the hotshoe of the D300 etc to power it but then you can't use a proper flash like SB800, is there an adaptor to allow the use of flash and remote?

D50 is an excellent camera. 149 sounds like a good price, especially if it includes a lens. -- Don't wait for...

It lacks a couple of things like second command wheel, DOF button, 1/8000 s, 0.5 fps, bracket button, flash commander mode, on-demand viewfinder grid, top lcd lighting, monitor cover, 4-way controller lock switch, 5 custom functions, 1/3rd ISO steps, ...

Thanks for the reply. The D90 just got me back to Nikon after about 10 years with Canon. I have the G7, and added the Franiec grips and black trim ring for better handling and greater stealth. As you say, it is a bit heavy, but a nice camera, and I don't shoot in RAW with the P&S cameras. I took the trouble to make borderless 8.5" x 11" prints from the ISO 400 studio shots of the DPReview reveiew of the G10, P6000, and LX3,...

Yeah, the battery charger not being included is pretty cheesy. Esp. given the $450 price of the camera. Charging the battery through the camera is a big drag. I am lucky though as still have my P5100 and just use that charger. I must say that the Canon chargers are usually better designed as many of them are self contained units that plug into the wall without any cords.

hey young man, personally i'd keep the FM2, it's a classic. and you never know when the bomb will drop and all things electronic will stop working... also, with a dSLR, you will be learning (from your mistakes...) A LOT quicker and even though you are still young, there never is enough time. also, it's not even a matter of money, you can pick up a good second hand beast like the D70s/D50 or even newer D40 for about £150 GBP or...

Ben, I think you are right. The older Nikon 300mm f/4 IF-ED has drop in filters and looks very close to the image of the lens that Gibbs is holding in the NCIS TV show. I have read that on CSI shows that they often use older lenses and older cameras for some of the TV shows. I would assume they use what looks good and is within their production budget, not always the latest and greatest. Thanks. Cheers, Bill Creech Ben Nakagawa wrote: >...
