Damn, I have too many hobbies!
:dance:
Just arrived today. Straight out of the box, it takes amazing pics and that's with all the default settings. It's gonna take a while to get used to it and read through the manual - 421 pages (literally twice as thick as the manual for my D100). Can't wait to get the Boxster out and start shooting.
BTW, I am going to sell my D50 to fund some accessories for the new D300. The D50 has always been a backup camera since buying it in 11/05 and is hardly used. I have never even had to recharge the battery, probably under 200 pics. shot with it. It takes great photos and I wouldn't sell it except that I wanted to use more of Nikon's Pro firmware which the D50 does not support. This camera, and all the equipment looks and operates as new - not a mark on it. Absolutely no stories!
I'll sell it as a complete pkg. - D50 Body w/ built-in speedlight (6.1MP), Lens (probably AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G) w/ Nikon lens caps, 62mm UV filter, Nikon CF-D50 Soft Case (optional accessory, never used - NIB), EL-EN3a LiOn battery w/ MC-18 quick charger (1000 shots on one charge), a 2GB Hi-speed Sandisk Memory Card (566 shots on the highest quality setting, over 1,000 on some others) w/ USB card reader (optional accessories), Rubber Eyecup, Nikon ML-L3 wireless remote w/ case (optional accessory), USB cable, AV cable, Eyepiece cap, Hotshoe cap, Body cap, 137 pg. Nikon D50 Manual, Nikon Picture Project 1.5 software, and remainder of 5 yr. extended Nikon warranty - 2 yrs., 9 mos. remaining. With all original Boxes and packaging.
New, it all sold 2 yrs. ago for just over $1100 incl. accessories and extended warranty. I'll list it on CL for $525 + actual S/H. I'll discount that considerably for any member here who may be interested (hope DJ is reading).
This is an excellent advanced consumer DSLR. Digital Photography Review gave it their highest recommendation -

There are better cameras out there, but there aren't any better in this condition, at this price. PM me for more details. I'll also list this in the classifieds.
