  1. Ok heres an update and apparently im screwed on the D50. Thats what I get for getting an open box "deal". I bought the warranty and was told the camera cant be fixed and will be getting a full refund. I talked to a photography instructor and I wont need a dslr for a couple of semesters. I need something temp any recommendations on a nice point and shoot? I really liked the D50's auto settings so something similar would be nice.
  2. I was told its dust on the actual sensor :( So now im going to have to dish out money to have it shipped to Nikon or find some DIY solution.
  3. Im not taking a scrub brush to the mirror or anything. It gets dusty and I gently wipe it off. Its barely showing up on a white wall im using for tests. Seems like it shows up darker when I take a picture of something in a dark area.
  4. I promise I read the FAQs and thats why I knew it wasnt anything to be afraid of. I also read I could clean it myself but I figured I would ask before I put anymore elbow grease into it. NO CLUE how it got there but I am guessing its snot/spit from the night before while I was cleaning the mirror.
  5. I know there are topics on this but is it normal to get a smudge on the sensor

    so soon? Its only been a month and I only have one lens(18-70mm). Ive tried a

    wet cleaner and dry and still no luck. I know its a sensitive part and ive

    been super careful but its getting annoying.

  6. Well after all the reviewing I decided to head out and purchase the Olympus. When I get to Circuit City I look around and find an Nikon D50 (open box/display). Sooo I ended up with the Nikon and it came with a 18-55mm lens. I kept telling myself 8mp is better but I was really impressed with the photo quality of the D50. I hope im not kicking myself in the long run for going with 6mp instead of 8mp.
  7. I can handle no auto focus so that doesnt bother me too much. Im still learning the manual parts of dslr. I will most likely get this camera. I plan to save up for a nice digital video camcorder later down the road. You guys are of great help!
  8. Whats makes this camera a starter? Not that I dont trust you guys but I am wanting to go with something that I can do wildlife photography and my abstract photography. Those of you that had the E-500, is the included lens made of glass?
  9. Are any of you using this dslr? I am concerned with photo quality obviously

    but I also want to know I can resell it at a later date without any resale

    value issues.Ive been told that no dslr camera offers a view of the photo as

    you are taking it, is this true?

  10. Haha I didnt say im looking for a lens called P3 Macro! I know what camera I have I just want to know what macro lenses I can get. It was something like this. Excuse my ignorance I know nothing of the slr accessories. Is there not a macro lens that screws onto the tip of a regular lens?

  11. Whoa didnt expect anymore responses. Mine seems to be overexposing as well. I may try to compensate as well cause its really annoying. Do any of you have blur issues when not using a tripod? It really is a nice camera. Im going to sound like such a noob about this but when I see the numbers flashing inside the viewfinder I adjust up top and still get wacky exposures. Can someone explain the A-KA on the macro lens? Does it have something to do with distance (I assume).
  12. I just did a search on Google for Pentax P3 macro lens and nothing comes up. I did a yahoo search as well and no luck. Are you sure they will fit or you assume the K macro lenses will fit.
