Maybe I'm a bit weird, but I like those. I like them a lot. In fact
one of my best photographs was taken with one. I've taken perhaps two
or three better out of thousands of digital photos.
That's because a good photograph is mostly composition and luck, with
equipment not mattering much at all IMO. Oh, and Photoshop :-)
Mroe seriously, the batteries taken by most film
cameras were standard
primary batteries and are a lot easier to find than a custom Li-ion or
NiMH pack for a digital camera.
For at least some digital cameras you can get carriers for off-the-shelf
cells. The feature of my D70 I like the least is that I can't use AAs.
Anyone know if the D50 can?
