hey,
i'm a beginner to photography and i was deciding on a d50 or d40.

d40 is lightweight, easy to use, cheap, etc however, it can only autofocus on af-s lenses

d50 i heard is compatible with all lenses. for long term use and upgradability, between these TWO cameras which do u suggest.

i'd appreciate if u don't suggest other than this two if it's more expensive. budget is RM2500+-.

PS: d50 is about 2 years old right?

thanks for the input..
heh, read about this ken rockwell guy..yeah...and ppl on this forums (some say) he's biased. anywyas, i'll give it a read.

btw, i'm also looking at the 350D. i'm 6feet1 and yes, i have big hands. i was quite afraid of the 350D coz of it's small grip.

however, i'm planning on REPLACING it with the bg-e3 (which can accomodate 2 baterry packs) and ofc giving me a bigger hand grip.

this however would push the price of the camera to roughly RM3200. worht the 3200? (i get 350D kit, extra battery, and baterry grip)

and i need a big stack of cash for me to get a grip on the 30D hahahahh

over at PM... i dunno what's pm... hmmm... photo ... ok.. i'll check it i reckon photo section.
sounds good
thanks

^ errr.... why u attacking him ar? he's supporting the d40. he's asking not to get a uber camera if ur needs dont' warrant it. O_o

anwyays wifi_one, i do agree with ya!
350D is not far off in terms of price. i think right now they're priced the same. so yeah, i guess it's the end of the road for me. d40.... 3 point not an UP point for me. (350D has 7)
