    stuff in the camera

    Hi Nikonites, I just picked up a camera D50 about 2 months ago. Hardly used and a lens on it at all times. I now see what looks like a piece of carpet fibre through the viewfinder. It's at 5 pm spot if it was a clockface. Can I get that out? Does it affect the picture at all or ignore it...

    Hi I plan on going to the Zoo in the spring and questions regarding fence/mesh. I've been looking/studying stuff about said issue. Use your smallest aperture and manual focus. Is that the way to go? Any other insights please. And I'm debating raw vs JPEG. I know the benefits of raw and and...

The D90 is going at a 2x factor price wise nowadays. The only 2 bodies that are almost the same price-wise...
