Am I right in thinking that a 2 meg card is the biggest that this camera
will accept.

There is only ONE question in the OP's message.  How can it be
misinterpreted?  I don't see the ambiguity!

Strictly interpreted, the answer 'no' would mean "no, you are not right to
think that a two meg card is the biggest supported". Other answers in the
thread seem to imply otherwise.

You are absolutely correct!  That's the only "correct" interpretation,
regardless of what question others thought they were answering :-)

He was asking whether he was right in thinking "that a 2 meg card is the
biggest that the D50 will accept".

And although I have no personal knowledge regarding this issue, based on
most of the answers in this thread, the answer to his question is "Yes",
i.e., he was right in thinking that :-)

2MB wouldn't store a single raw image - are you sure you (and he) didn't
mean 2GB?

I'm sure he meant 2 GB - I was quoting from the original message, indicated
by the double quotes :-)

There is much to be said for trying to help folks rather than being
totally anal about trivialities.

You are right ray, though you seem to be the one that initiated this "side"
thread with...

>>>> no - he's not correct

>>>> no - it won't work

In any case, I agree with you.  Enough trivialities.  Last post on this...

My experience tallies with that.
I have many 2Gb that work fine, but the only 4Gb card I tried did not work.

Of course, YMMV.

Nikon: You only get what you pay for, 9 MP short and 3 years too late (1ds

Interesting leap from what I said...

I thought the post was about the D50, which is an excellent camera by any
standards.

He has a limited set of ideas/phrases, a reflection of his limited
intellectual capacity/insight.

Uh huh.

But who cares, anyway - fer Crissake.
Do they take better pictures?

Irrelevant. The best camera is the one in your hand that you can operate
when an opportunity for a photo  presents itself

Some of my best photos were taken with a Kodak Instamatic with 126 film.
For health and safety reasons no one will ever be able to get where I
did to take those photos 20 years ago. I was lucky when I took them at
the time (young and stupid :-)

The "best camera" a friend of mine has is a Zenith. It lets him take
photos where a Canon of Nikon would get you arrested in some parts of
the world. BTW He also has an awesome array of Nikon kit too. .

I recently saw a letter in a magazine from someone saying he "needed" to
upgrade from his Nikon D70s as it was not good enough to enter
competitions with. Well I have just won a national completion using a
D70s

Blaming the tools always was the sign of a poor workman. Quoting pure
numbers like pixels is pointless. For most things 6Mp is plenty .
Actually another friend of mine say he can see no point in upgrading
past about 10-12MP. (His other camera is a surveillance satellite :-)

Truly funny there Chris.

There has always been I would say anger instead of hate for those who chose
another name brand then the one they own.  Canon vs Minolta and so on.

Like everything else, they are all tools and its to each his own.  What
works for one might not work for another.
But to get angry over it makes no sense.  We are here because we all have
something in common and thats Photography.  No matter what the tools are,
its the results that count.  There was also slightly less anger when it came
to Darkroom equipment way back when and one preferred one name brand over
another but nobody got bent out of shape over it like these people do now
over DSLR vs P&S, or in those days it was SLR vs Range Finder.  The argument
never stops.  LOL

Wrong on both counts.

His profession is digital imaging in the defence sector.
He is not a photographer and uses a 35mm for fun.

Gentleman pleez..........

Looks like the maximum card is def 2 gig..........and it looks like the
Canon folk hate the Nikon folk......the Nikon folk dont like the Canon
folk.............

Talk about stuck records...........this conversation went on 25 year ago
with this one......my Spectrum is better than your Vic 20

and

15 years ago..........my Amiga is better than your Atari
ST........................ now see if we can work out which words to delete
and insert........

Nowt changes eh!.............seriously tho......thanks for the input from
everyone................

Years ago when I got into photography people were a bit more accomodating of
others...........I had a (wait for it.......................Practica
MTL3)......and it was great........nowt too fancy and well capable of taking
a good shot. Someone once said to me...........it's not the camera that
takes the picture but the photographer...........I've taken great pics with
crap cameras and crap shots with great cameras..........Then
again..........could just be me..........

Thanks all.............sparring over...............til' the next camera
comes along...............

Cheers

Dave :)

'Struth. Dave.

The arguement between nikon and canon is much like picking fly sh.t from
pepper.
Or ford vs. chevy Or Coke vs. Pepsi. Or jesus vs. mohamad.

It's useless.

Fanatics is fanitics no mater how you slice them.

Those who beleive that their very own personal decisions, be it cars
drinks cameras or sky pilots, are all guilty of hubris.

Second class thinkers all.

If there is one sound universal principal that can tie all peoples on
the planet togeather on any subject at all it's this: There is no one
size which fits all.

Thats just the way it is.

Accept it. Bannish hate. Go with what works for you and extend the same
courtesy to others as you would have them visit upon you.

This ain't brain science or rocket surgery.

It's just common sence.

Personally, I have nothing for or against nikon. I have a minolta film slr
and am thus attracted to the sony alpha. I have had good experiences with
Kodak - currently using a Kodak P850 because it fits my needs better than
a dslr. I do not even consider canon - because of their total lack for all
things Linux - when they support Linux, I will consider canon - but not
until. I also eschew fuji because of their past business practices. Hate
has nothing to do with it.
