I have been wanting to get a decent digital camera for some time now; the mobile phone’s I have been using are not cutting it anymore. After Fadi posted about his camera for sale, I decided that I needed a new camera. Talked to the resident Photo-Guru Mark who pointed me in the direction of the Nikon D50. A couple cancelled orders, pricematchs, misplaced shipping and the slow-slow-slow-shipping of Aramex .. It is finally here.

I have no idea how to use this thing; so don’t expect amazing pictures overnight.

First (decent) picture:

    It’s a great camera. It’s a coolpix 8800 that I have now and when I know how to use it well, get great photos from it and need more I will go for the D50. Not soon for sure :/
