Nikon D50 + 50MM f/1.8D2008-12-05
Great price and performance! This lens lives up to all the great press received. Once received I was really impressed by the low light and micro abilities, have not removed from my Nikon D50 yet, great lens!

awesome of course2008-12-04
I would have bought this at B&H if they had any left at the time. The apeture is great, the image is really clear and details. It's about as good as a macro lense I tested. Great detail, no distortion (as far as I can tell) and the depth of field is terrific. Such a good price. it's hard to get good focus unless you have a d80 or d90 that turns this lense into an auto-focus lense.
Great camera bag!2008-12-01
This bag is perfect to carry my camera, Nikon D40, as well another lens and associated paraphernalia. The linings and interior are padded nicely. The delivery was prompt as well!
Fine prime lens!2008-11-30
This cheap lens does everything that has been written in reviews. I use it on my Nikon D40X, besides that I mostly use (outside) the Nikon 18-200VR zoomlens. Sharpnes is magnificent, the only little critics I feel is the rather cheap "feeling" of this plastic lens. But the "glasswork" does what it promises, so....
You won't be sorry when you buy this one!
Picture Perfect2008-11-29
One of Nikon's best lenses ever! I purchased this lens a few months ago for my D300 and I've used this lens as my primary nearly 80%+ of the time I've used my D300 on different adventures (20+ adventures). It's small, lightweight, and incredibly fast, especially in low light. The ability to manually adjust your f-stop is a plus, though you can always leave it on auto. This lens is great for portraits and general landscapes, and mostly any assignment in between. I was a little shocked that the lens I bought was "Made in China," but it's still a great lens for a bargain price, especially from Nikon. The foldable rubber lens hood and UV filter are sold separately, but worth spending the extra cash for these two accessories. Any photographer, whether you are a pro or just a beginner should be equipped with a lens like this.

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact. For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
