Timmah Veteran Posted May 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted May 6, 2006 Yesterday I bit the bullet and bought one! :D I'm thrilled to bits with it so far, but I'm wondering if anyone can suggest where to get a relatively cheap case? I've just shelled out ?400 on the kit, so I can't really justify the ?35 Nikon are asking for their official "EverReady" case as I've still to buy a memory card in a few weeks (borrowing my housemate's at the moment). I noticed this one on eBay - wondered if anyone has any experience with this brand/case? It adds up to about ?18 with postage, and it has a waterproof cover and stuff, so it looks pretty good. I just need something relatively affordable to protect my new toy! BTW I got it from Jessops (I know!) they have an offer on at the moment - ?394 for the silver or ?396 for the black with 18-55mm kit lens, which equals the cheapest I've found it online (and I got to "take it away" with me there and then) so if you're after a D50 pretty quick, get down there before Wednesday when they remove the offer.

Pink Floyd Veteran Posted May 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted May 6, 2006 this case seems a lil bit smalle Timmah. It seems to be made for a SLR-Like camera which are smaller.I'd look on lowepro website and see one of their normal topload. I had one before to buy a 18-200mm lens?so?I?had?to?buy?another?one?longer?to?be?able?to?fit?my?longer?lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawtai Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I got a D50 too a couple of weeks back, and ended up getting a Lowepro case for $30 which can also let me store an extra lens as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieterich Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I just got the Velocity 7 from Tamrac and I couldn't be happier. It holds the body with an attached lens(either 70-300 or 28-80), with enough room to carry an additional lens(whichever one that's not attached). I think I could fit two lenses in the bag in addition to the body & lens, but I don't yet have more than two to try it out! I've got super-fast access to my camera and it even holds just enough kit that I don't feel "naked" when I'm out shooting. :D It's even got a stowaway waist strap that will keep your bag secure during more stressful activities like climbing, running, biking, etc. Great for those times when you've got to escape police custody.... :whistle: J/K!!

MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted May 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted May 6, 2006 I got a D50 too a couple of weeks back, and ended up getting a Lowepro case for $30 which can also let me store an extra lens as well. Hah, same here, and I got the exact same case, lol. Its terrific, has a water proof cover so if it starts raining on the trail, the camera is safe and has plenty of room for lenses, I think I can fit 3 in mine providing one is attached to the body. Great bang for your buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
