I remember a few years back when I wished I could own a 20D. To think that now 50D or even used 40D is selling dirt cheap, if you are not attached to Nikon lens, you should at least try and see how they feel like on your hands.

Is the viewfinder in 50D bigger than D90?

Do you guys use lens hoods? I always have, but shot without one last weekend, and it was kind of nice. My 24-70 is really intense with the lens hood, and it was just one less thing to worry about. I happened to wind up shooting into teh sun a lot though, so it was a bad day to leave it behind. But I wonder if the hood really makes a difference. Seems like they wouldn't include them if they didn't. Any thoughts?

oh man! I so badly want one of those zeiss primes. Do you find yourself able to manually focus alright? I'm trying to decide between the 50mm 1.4 and macro F2. Don't really need any faster than F2 essp. when it's manual focus, and zeiss told me that the macro is sharper from 5.6-2. Though it's almost twice as expensive...

Lens coating on modern lenses has really progressed so unless you're shooting in direct sunlight, flare isn't as big of a problem as it used to be. My 30 year old Cimko on the other hand...I'm forced to use my hand as a hood at the slightest hint of sunlight.

Ladies and gents, meet Nikon D3s.

Well, D3s is a bit too big and pricey for me. I just hope that this release indicated that D700(x,s,h) is around the corner...

But speaking of D3s, with still "low" megapixel, this camera will be king of high ISO.

Just bought a Nikon F100, my first nikon. Incredible camera. I had earlier purchased an Canon Rebel XSi, I now regret that. I'd like to sell it and buy a Nikon DSLR. Very impressed with Nikon's customer support, ergonomics and build quality.

I would love to shoot with F100 but unfortunately the price of F100 is still a bit expensive. And it's hard to get film nowadays.


Not really, but it is expensive to process and scan.

It's relative, of course. For what you're getting however, I do think that the F100 is an incredible bargain, sans aforementioned film development.
