				Disappointed in the D50

				The D50 is missing a feature that I really needed this afternoon. It doesn't have a 'Mow the Lawn' 
mode. I just spent 2 hours mowing the lawn and I figured that the D50 should be able to do this for me. 
Is there a firmware upgrade? Or do I have to get the D200. I think Nikon have messed up by not providing this.

				No need to upgrade to the D200.  All you need is the MTL-01 optional accessory.  
Last time I checked Birdy still had a few in stock, just email him re prices

				When I got my D70, It came with lawn mowing, washing,ironing and cleaning the house....
The wife said if you buy that camera " You will be mowing the lawn,ironing,washing and cleaning the house to make it up to me"
So now all that stuff is done and I have the camera.
Life is a about comprimises.

				A spokesman for Apple /Mac has just annonced the arrival of the new Apple i-mowed.Which cuts twice the grass of the previous 
model, the u-mowed.             
  Microsoft who have been grasscutters for years are also releasing one .
 Upon seeing the i-mowed they are now feverishly 'improving' there own X-dishwasher with an add on grass trimmer  as we speak. .For customer assistance call Jims mowing .

Hey Birddog, ya got any of them MTL-01 in stock?
2 hours. 

 I'm on half an acre, it included doing the edges and I haven't mowed for awhile. It takes a bit longer when the weeds are knee deep.

				That's why I got the D2X....it mows the lawn and washes the car.  I just sit back while my wife brings me a beer and then she goes and cleans my lenses for me.

				So far I've only used my camera to take photographs. But I'm fairly new to DSLR cameras, and I expect that as my skills improve I'll be able to do more things, and get a lot more out of my camera.  

 I've seen big lenses that would make great washing machines.

				I was going to use my camera as a prop in the play I'm in at the moment, a sexual prop no less, but I decided the better of it... mostly because when we all get drunk after the performance each night, and we will, I don't want anything to happen to it.

				Is it your sexual prop or your camera that you are in fear of being damaged?
Ask them to be gentle.  They'll understand.

I don't think they could damage the former.

				Whenever I wanted a divorce I bought a camera and moved to a unit - no mowing

I'd just take a photo of the shawn lawn and look at it every time someone tells me it needs shearing.
