<p>Thanks for all the helpful responses.<br>
1. I have sent the D50 for repair estimate.<br>
2. All my lenses are DX (have their focus motors<br>
3. I live in Atlanta, GA and have bought equipment from KEH before so if the estimate comes back too high, I go on line, find a replacement, swing by and pick it up. (Probably D5000 or D3100)Again, thaks for all the responses.</p>

<p>Recently my D-50 stopped working. I try to take a picture and the card image is black. Took to camera store and the diagnosis (without looking at the camera) was the image chip had gone bad. Estimate 250 to repair. Recommend options, do I find a Nikon authorized dealer to repair or bite the bullet and purchase the D-3000 or the newer D-3100? I have all Nikor lenses and want to stay with Nikon. Just casual family and High School sports photographer.</p>

<p>Thanks to all who gave advice. Purchased the 18-200 and shot 100+ images at first game. Did fine. I realize it is early in season so 6PM game still has decent light. Very surprised how well they turned out. As it gets later in season with it getting dark by game time, I will see how well the county provided lights work.</p>

<p>Thanks guys for all the good advice. This is a brand new HS and I have clearance to be on the field. Now to the sites you mentioned to find a 2.8. More expensive initial outlay, but seems necessary.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help. I will be on the sidelines. I have a Nikon D50. The pictures are personal. Obviiously I will make them available to the other parents, but this is not a business. I will check Frank's suggested 80-200 lens, see if I can find one used. </p>

<p>Is 200mm long enough for football? I am on a limited budget and wavering between the 18-200 (original version) and the 70-300. I know the 18-200 is more versatile, but wonder if I need the 300's extra reach. Please note I am asking a sincere question. Don't need the pros and or elites reply saying spend the $1,000.00 and get faster lens. This is a hobby to shoot my son. Thanks in advance for any help.</p>

<p>A. Your contract iswith the bride. Nothing to suggest the groom speaks for the bride.<br>
B. contract is straight forward. The purpose of a deposit is to obligate both parties.Want to guess their reaction if you cancelled on short notice?</p>
<p>I would respond that the deposit will not be returned, but you do appreciate the courtesy of the early notice that you will not be needed.</p>

For the price you can't beat it. I have been using this lens on my D-50 for a year. Yes I would like a little wider angle, but it is well worth the price. I'm eventually upgrading to the 18-200VR but for now... By the way, I am not a professional photographer so weigh my opinion accordingly. Just a Dad who photos kids in sports, violin recitals, family get togethers, vacations, etc.

Tomorrow will find me the proud owner of the 50mm. Gee this hobby may turn out to be more expensive than golf!!

After reading endless reviews, finally pulled the trigger and
purchased the D-50. To support Photonet I bought from one of the
retailers that supports Photonet. Wolf Camera (wholly owned
subsidiary of Ritz) had same price for the body only as for body with
the 28-80 f/3.5-5.6G Nikkor lens. Not my first choice for lens, but
for "free" it'll do until I get advice on next lens. From reviews it
seems I need a prime lens. To keep in the under $200.00 price range
I'm considering the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8. I mainly photograph my son
playing sports, daughter playing violin and a lot of family
pictures. Advice from some pros who know more than I. I think the
18-200 is far in the future. Thanks in advance.
D-50 died. Go for economy (D-3000) or the newer D-3100)
in Nikon
