[QUOTE="Greywoulf, post: 3082, member: 636"] Yep... And I saw an older web review where they were comparing the D50 to a D70s. The D50 is a wee bit smaller than the D70s and lost some of it's options, but it's also similar to it in that it too has the AF motor in the camera body, so you can use just about any Nikkor AF lens with it, provided that you remembered that the new DX format also has a 1.5x plus focal length conversion... It was later, when the D40 came out, that Nikon was both praised and damned for getting really creative in producing smaller DSLRs by leaving the AF motor out of the body and putting it into the newly designed AF-S, AF-I lenses instead. Many were concerned that there wouldn't be enough good lenses for this type of camera, and indeed for a long time there was no standard AF-S prime, only kit zooms.available for that format. But Nikon has long since fixed this, and now there are I believe over 21 very good AF-S and AF-I lenses available for such cameras as the D40, D40X, and D60, (and also very usable on the D90 and D300s), including the excellent standard F1.8 35mm prime............
