    Default the d50 is dead =/

    i had no issues at all shooting day before yesterday but last night i broke out the strobes and went to go take some pictures of my car and after i got everything set up i turned on my camera and when i looked through the view finder everything was black. double checked to make sure i took the lens cap off LOL and then noticed the error flashing at me

    i tried 3 different lens and still got the same thing. tried 2 different SD cards and still got the same thing. tried pulling the battery and still got the same thing. it did allow me to take 1 photo and the picture had large sparkly red, green, and blue "grains" over the whole picture.

    i also tried a hard reset last night and nothing. im pretty sure its a fatal error to the shutter

    nikon has really good customer service. call em up, tell them your problem, and then send it in.

    i bought a used d70s on craiglist and the shutter failed 2 days later. i was such an idiot. anyways, i sent it in, but since i bought it used i had to pay 215 dollars to get it fixed. they had it back to me in no time.

    or, you could just buy a d3x.

    its not worth spending 215 bucks to get this camera fixed. i see them go for 250 bucks used online

    nah no d3x, they are for studio only shooters, they dont handle high ISO's well. maybe ill get a normal d3 though

    dust wouldnt cause it not to take a picture, id just have spots on the photo. plus photobarn in lilburn did a sensor clean on it like 3 weeks ago.

    the shutter isnt releasing

    maybe if he put it in the sandbox, and stomped on it, then poured a bucket of sand




    but really, double check all your settings, and was that exposure correct?
    it does sound like shutter failure, but its odd that you got that picture. normally shutter failure gives you like half a picture or some shit. might be sensor related

    my grandfather, the one that gave me all my lighting equipment, used to be a photographer and he feels my pain. he is buying me a d90

    its weird cause my family doesnt buy each other stuff, their attitude is if you want something you get it yourself. i guess he understands my pain.

    If the D90 doesn't go through, I have a 5D you can borrow. It just sits here, kinda lame.
