Free bump on this. I've owned a D50 for a couple of years now, and have not felt the upgrade bug to date (other than lenses, but that's typical GAS for photography nuts

).

GREAT camera, and this is a very nice package price.

Good little cameras!

Thanks guys. This one is about as clean and as good as they come. It is a great camera and the photos it takes are awesome. We have printed out 11x17s and they look fantastic....

That's about the highest print you can do with the D50 and maintain decent DPI for up-close viewing.
However, these D50s are GREAT for the on-the-move-constantly photographer who needs something small and light! Also great entry for someone to get into dSLRs.
How many clicks on the shutter?

Hmmm...I am not sure...how do I find that out?

Go take a random picture.
Copy it to your computer.
Go to this URL:
http://regex.info/exif.cgi/

Select the image from your computer.
It'll pull the shutter count from EXIF and tell you.

Actuation is 28,282 (that means amount of pictures taken on camera...these are rated for 150,000 shutters!! SO ....lots of life left on this...

$400 shipped? You won't find a deal like this anywhere else.

For the record, I've managed even larger without a grain issue. I'm looking at one in particular on my wall.

These are seriously nice cameras, and the new price is borderline theft.

What he said!! I don't think I can go any lower. I would rather just keep it....so someone buy it!

**sleepy_monkey** · #12 10-18-2008, 08:50 PM

All PM's replied...sorry guys, can't take any trades on this unless they are VERY interesting.

antdedyet · #13 10-19-2008, 02:17 PM

Free bump.

**sleepy_monkey** · #14 10-20-2008, 02:23 PM

Still here....probably going up on eBay on Tuesday...so let me know.

ibanezcollector · #16 10-21-2008, 09:51 PM

all the pictures I take are taken with the exact same camera... Free bump..

+1 on this being a great camera. The larger light sensor in the D50 means more accuracy with automatic exposures.

**sleepy_monkey** · #18 10-22-2008, 08:10 AM

Thanks guys for the upbeat comments! I already pulled the trigger on a pre-owned D200..so this needs to go!!

Dah!!! I just tapped out the disposable funds on some studio/recording stuff last week and this package is just what I need for a trip to Costa Rica in next six months or so. If I can scrape up the bucks, you'll be the first to know.

**sleepy_monkey** · #20 10-22-2008, 08:08 PM

Open to cash + trade offers. I would like to get at least $250 cash plus trade item (SX bass, pedals, etc..)

Obviously, the price shipped is still available too.
