I'm in the same boat, love my D50 to bits but feel I'm outgrowing it, the ISO performance is pretty shabby (as to be expected for quite an old camera). Also I've got a pretty life-changing event coming up next year so would love to upgrade my camera in time for that! As much as I would love...

Phwoar look at the tats on that.

This happened a couple of weeks ago on my D50 also, all I had to do was format the card and everything was fine.

If you're popping into Aldi to look at or get one of these it would be absolutely scandalous not to pick up a packet of their Bratwurst sausages - they are immense.

The first shot in particular is excellent, well done.

I'm a complete novice and didn't have a clue what the hell I was doing, but I reckon these turned out alright - I focused on the stumps / batsman if I remember. (poor technique on no. 2!)

You see to a beginner this makes not a great deal of sense - crop factor et al - I'd like to think I have a modicum of knowledge (and I stress modicum) but this confusicates me.

Granted, but it's a starting point, and we all learn by mistakes. I just wanted a basic understanding from which to learn from, plus the fact that I was **** at maths at school meaning crop factor scares the pants off me!

Just to make things easier I guess, when you're a beginner there's enough flying around your head and working out shutter speeds as per the first posts in this thread make perfect sense, adding in crop factor just complicates things for the beginner. I'm sure when we all get up to speed we...

Thanks Neil, that makes sense, although I think I'll ignore that bit about the crop factor 'cos that's starting to make things a bit more complicated when I'm using my 70 - 300mm!

Seeing as you lot are obviously a talented, clever, patient, caring and no doubt good-looking lot could somebody please take the time to explain (in layman's terms) how to work out if the shutter speed the camera has selected (I usually have the camera set to Aperture priority, usually) is safe...

Good morning all, just thought I'd introduce myself as a new member of the forum. I'm possibly the worlds least prolific amateur photographer, I've found it hard in the past to make enough time to get out there and get some shots off but I've realised that if I simply take my camera with me...
