I'm still trying to figure out if the D50 will shoot in B/W mode at all. I really abhor using software for ANYTHING with my pictures, unless it's for a very specific purpose (logos, etc).

I don't touch up my photos at all... like Aka says, I consider it "cheating".

I think it's ok to "touch up" photos, it's done all the time. Even with film photography the developing can be lightened and darkend or add more green etc. to enhance a picture.
But wehn you start adding people and putting effects that just aren't real or there to begin with, then when does it become photochopping cut and paste and the art of photography end?
I still love my wife's work with film. Even after the convienience and ease of learning some tricks with the digital. But film just has that "umph" that I think digital lacks, unless you start photochopping.
My wife had the opprotunity years ago to work with Freeman Patterson. The stuff this man does with film is incredible. And what she did and still does with film blows digital right out of the water.
You can look him up here.
