I am not sure that I am using this site correctly. If not, perhaps someone can tell me how to do so.
I have a question or, better put, a concern. After using a D50 for less than a year, I bought a D80 about two months ago. I was very pleased with the D50, but I presumed that I would be able to get better shots with the additional pixels, particularly as I often take pictures of birds and crop much of the picture away.
To date, I have been disappointed, particularly with focus. I think the D50 did a better job of exposure and focus. I use the camera principally with a 28-200 Nikon IS. I have some "shake" and need the help. However, I will quickly add that the use of a tripod really doesn't seem to make much difference in the focus.
Have others had this problem? Should I send it to Nikon for warranty work? I am just about to get rid of the D80 and buy another D50. My daughter now has the D50 which I bought about a year ago.
