Damn... aren't you glad you didn't spend a fortune on Sandisk Extreme III?

I hope the SD didn't have any unsaved images in it.

But looks like the dog got it rough. Chewing SD card = desexed.
The next time he chews another one, what you gonna do with him? cut if off ?

[kin0kin]

yes, literally cut it off. :evil:
You know what sux...I had my kingston 2 gb ($25) beside it...but he decided that the 50 bucks transcend taste better and took that instead. IIRC the sandisk is fastest, but practically, the transcend is not alot slower.

Ouch, yeah i hope there wansnt any unsaved photos on it Just found out my friends girlfriend got a D80 just recently :P She was meant to get a D40/50 and her dad decided to upgrade her hahaha

[jumpinjohn1234]

any thoughts if nikon is going to relase an inbetween d40 and d80? like a d60?

I'm going to buy a dslr, but can possibly wait till march 8th for the pma
Ahy speculation on if nikon will relsease somehting?

[WhatMACHI]

Why not a D50? From what i understand it in a sense is inbetween the D40 and D80. (just going from what ive read, and what has been commented on the cameras).

Guys, anyone of you wanna buy Nikon F3?

There's one on eBay for AUS$199. I'm not sure how much is street price, but that sounds cheap to me.

DJ - you are the king of all great eBay deals...you do have to be very careful with F3s and make sure they have been refurbished or are like new. You'll typically have to put in $200 into a used non-refurb one. However, you are on the right track - this is the "last of the best" rugged type F Cameras, especially the F3/T. I am "jonesing" for the F3/T champagne edition like this one, but just ridiculously expensive, so if you can help me like you did with the 35 f/1.4, I will repay you with some special download or something

FYI, the 35's on its way; I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Don't worry, if there's a nice deal I'll let you informed.

So the lens is on its way huh? That's great. It should be there sometime next week I reckon. Don't forget lots of pictures! (both lens and sample pictures)

Ok just as always with something im too uncertain on, im unable to make a decision even with the great advice given to me. Its seriously as though im TRYING to convince myself something is worth getting or NOT worth getting. D40 vs D50.

Basically my only real issue whether to get the D40 vs D50 is the long term costs of lenses if i decide to take my photography further. Im guessing since i plan not to take photography to the level where i have a full set of lenses, but rather just the basic stuff that will cover most types of shots.

I read somewhere that to get a D40, and get set up with lenses that would cover most of your shots would be rather expensive, as opposed to getting a D50 with lenses that cover most shots. And even comparable to a D80 with lenses... (i cant remember what site i read this, but they were listing lenses which didnt mean much to me )

DAMIT WHY DIDNT THE D40 GET THE AF MOTORRRRRR T_T

Mocok, mind if i get ur msn? I wouldnt mind having a chat bout this lol ill pm my msn over if u like
