Tried a search but no luck with the D50, so thought I would post up this potential buying decision.
I'm toying with the idea of getting one of the above cameras. Currently in Toronto I can get the D50 body for about $550 cdn. Not bad and with the 18-55 for $650. Personally I think body only and grab a 50 1.8 or the 18-70.
I'm not too concerned with the mp debate. Not much of an issue really for me.
But price now is "considerably" more for the jump north to the D40x. And I believe the D50 will be more compatible with certain lenses as opposed to the D40x.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated in regards to the merits of the D50 over the D40x.
It's my chance to get into a Nikon again after dropping my 20D on it's head a couple weeks back. Was told by Canon that it was not repairable. The sensor was toast from what I recall with purple fringing across the middle of some shots and a multitude of lines running across the pics. But when I picked it back up yesterday, no signs of damage. Pics are fine except I had to bend my hotshoe back into place. Not telling my wife just yet coz as of now the 20D is my son's to play with.
Cheers all
