A reveiew of the new digital SLR from Nikon: [link]
$750 without a lens. $900 with. They say this is a "professional" camera.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was trying to read this review of the D50, but they used the word "evanescence" and I just can't stop rolling my eyes.
I may just be out of camera-review-reading practice.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm impressed with you digital-SLR-having (or -wanting) people. I'm just excited to be getting a new digital point-and-shoot with enough megapixels to make the prints look like, well, prints. Probably the Nikon 5600.

My lust just kicked up a gear when I froogled the D70 -- which can mean many things -- lots of crooks selling crap online, or the D50 will drop very low in price, or that I should just buy a D70 right now.
I should relax.

hip deep in pie
I stand behind the rationalization that a better camera will making my mediocre photography skills better. Any great picture I have taken has been an accident, or a surprise to me.

In the digital camera biz, it usually means this. I use B&H Photo and Video as a yardstick; if someone is underselling them by a large amount it's probably too good to be true.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I have a friend with a D70. It's extremely tasty.

B&H's price for the D70 isn't much more than the D50. But I already have and use SD cards in three devices. I'm assuming CompactFlash rocks because of higher capacity -- how does it rate costwise with SD?

Should I be able to hook my receiver up to the pre-amp?
If the tuner has RCA outs, then I suppose you can treat it as just another input to the pre-amp.
And could my sound problem actually be that my speaker wire is frelled? (The speaker that is getting sound was the left channel; I switched things around and now the speaker that is getting sound is the right channel.)
Switched things around how?

Off the top of my head from staring at the case in Fry's last week, I think it's cheaper.
