Just ordered the D80

Postby aussichef on Tue Dec 12, 2006 12:16 am

Hi all
before i forget hope everyone has a merry xmas our Adelaide chapter & the whole of DSLR as a whole for that matter
I have just ordered a D80 from Poon after some messages between gstark and myself
all i can say is Gary is a patient man with me lol
Now just debating weather to keep the D50 as a backup or sell it
would come in handy when i have the vr on the d80 & have the 18-50 2.8 on the d50 lo
what do u think ???

Mate you might have to get rid of the D50 just so you can fit the D80 into your sig :lol:

Congrats on the new purchase And trying not to hijack a thread but are we going to have a Clipsal meet this year? My holidays are already booked!

Sounds good having two bodies, one for the wide and one for the telephoto.
That's what I kept my 300D for after getting my 30D, but I'm a little tempted in having it converted to infra-red :oops:

Warren - I would hold onto your D50. Should the D80 every need to go in for repair, at least you have another body to use in the meantime.

But seriously, it's handy to have a backup, however you'll have to convince the boss it's a good idea to keep the D50 as well - could be tricky!

Yes there will definately be a Clipsal meet..Most of us will go on the Saturday, some will also go on the other days but the Saturday is normally the best day for photos as you get access to more of the cars..
Warren, congrats on the new purchase, looking forward to the next meet.

And if you ever plan on doing any commercial jobs having a back up body is a great insurance policy...

Congratulations. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Definitely keep it. I'm forever wishing I had a second body for using two lenses at once. :)
