Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 4:19 pmI think you are right Birdy, big cover to put an SD card in, looks more like a CF card cover.
Good find Arthur

What are the chances that the D50 will have a microphone section if the D70 didn't?

Microphone? yes, the Japs want to use it for mate in public
don't you know 
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 4:44 pmWhat does it look like in the manual? (for those who have managed a clean download of it).
That should have a usable image of the camera.
As to this treatment, please excuse me while I through up: it looks worse than a Dribble!
As to the features, yes, the microphone will be there for the built-in mate in public, but did anyone else notice that the display was set up for image previews?
And the MLU button was on the LH side.

That image can be confirmed to be a fake. Thank goodness the real thing is not as ugly as that!

Changed:
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:11 pmThat's the prototype
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:17 pmDid anyone else notice the different fonts the number "50" was using?
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:17 pmLooks much better in all-white
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:28 pmI've always thought it would be useful to have an inbuilt voice recorder to allow voice annotation synchronised for each shot... Maybe one day...

I said: it's for mate in public
I never use it on my D100/D2h/ D2x

Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:55 pmI don't know what the 18-50 can do for you and it has 52mm thread, that means it similar to the 50 or 35mm or the old 28-70/ 3.5, while the 18-70 is 67mm thread.
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:58 pmyes... looks disgustingly similar to the rebel kit lens specs...
The thing that sold me on the d70 was the kit lens...

Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 6:08 pmSource is the leaked D50 user manual (it and the D70S one here).
I think that means the markings on the lens correspond to those focal lengths (like the kit lens for the D70 has markings at 18, 24, 35 and 70 mm).
I agree, this is clearly a budget lens aimed fairly and squarely at the EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 of the 300D/350D. I wonder what the quality of the lens is like though, the Canon offering isn't highly regarded...

Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 6:32 pmMCWB, those are disqusting specs for the "kit lens". 7 elements, 5 groups with only 1 ED. Clear evidence of cost cutting to be in with the Dribble and unpronouncable *istDs competitors.
Specs of the camera itself doesn't look too bad, from the leaked manual (thanks to the guilty party - you know who you are). It's a resized and re-priced D70 accepting SD cards. Still the same MLU only for sensor peeping/cleaning and no vertical grip option. The only crippling I can see so far is ISO adjustment in full stops only (like Canon's offerings), rather than in 1/3 stop that this D70 crowd enjoys.
