Is it a decent camera? Ritz Camera has if for $549 on black friday.

I want to get a lens with a ring flash too (for taking close-up tooth
pictures in the mouth). Anybody know what model number lens that would be?



Two nice micro lens:

The Nikon camera I would buy today is the D80. Now, if you want a Nikon
D50, let me know, I have one hell of a deal for you, it is in perfect
condition.

I'm interested if it's still in the box.

Tom, if you're reading, I'm interested in a D50 for the wife.


I'm going to be keeping it actually. I need a kick around camera for
the truck and this is going to be a good replacement for the Oly
C-7070 I have in the truck now which has seen better days.


"Kick around camera"??
You wacky Yanks!



What else would you call it? I'd rather have a kick around camera to
just keep in the truck than leave my good cameras in the truck for
those "what a picture" scenarios.


For some of us, an $800 camera would be a good 'un.
My idea of a "kick around camera" would be a $150.00 compact.
