I definately think its a choice between cannon and nikon. Ive got a 20D which is brilliant. The 350D 400D and 30D are all worth looking at as is the nikon D50 and D80. All depends on you budget. Look around for good deals, I bought my 20D from Jacobs it was secondhand reconditioned from cannon. And its lovely. Buy a few which and what camera mags they are always doing comparisons but my advice get your hands on them in a shop. Its amazing how different they all feel and good advice from shop assistant can be good to talk through the other things involved ie lenses ect. I found the guys in jacobs on new oxfod street seemed to have more time than the ones in jessops. The is also a fantastic nikon shop grays of westminster.

Good luck

Sorry to bring back to life a very old thread, but I am thinking about treating myself.... Has anyone got a Nikon D50? Which had it at number 2 in their best buys a couple of months ago, second only to the canon EOS 350D, and it's a damned sight cheaper than everything else!!!


NOTE: Which don't take the price in to account, so that didn't earn it points......


What do you think?

First question I always ask, when people ask me this, is what camera equipemnt do you have already? If you have canon lenses, then financially I'd stick with the same brand, assuming lenses are compatible (I.E. an EOS mount)


If you don't and it's a clean slate, then I would suggest you try both of them on the shop to see what suits your hands and head better. Being blunt, both cameras will perform to a high level, that to the untrained eye will be indistinguishable, so see which you feel more comfortable with. So, pick them up, play with them, and then make a choice


I believe that Calumet will be easily persuaded to refund a rental if you buy the cameras from them, (assuming you like it first!) One other persuader could be that Canon are offering ?50 cashback on the 400D, which as it has the dust cleaning sensor would make it my choice, if budget could streatch to it. (I nearly traded my 1Ds in for one of these just to eliminatew the dust issue on images, but decided agains as it feels too small for my hands, esp after the 1Ds and 1DMK2 I use.)


Hope this has helped, but fear it's probably raised more questions in your mind!)

Olympus OM1 my baby, did stop being made in 1978, but she'a doll!


Does anyone know a good camera repairers i have tried the one's i know and they don't repair Hitachi and it looks like no-one does. The black smudge...i mean helicopter will probebly have to stay.


Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Oh well, have just ordered a Canon EOS 350D.... Hope I've done the right thing... There were just so many facts and figures to look at and consider that I got a headache!!!!!


I like the feel of them, and Which rate it as the best all round, so here's hoping!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
