I recieved my new Nikon D50 couple of days ago and the first thing I tried out was to see how fast it is. I was pretty impressed. It is not the D70s I originally wanted, because the D70s is slightly faster and provides a preview for the field of depth, but I don't pay 300$ more just for this features and the slightly better handling. So i think I will spend this money on a better lens.

by the way, sorry kitty for chasing you arround the block, I will do it again.
