Aaron, there is no tripod in my HOUSE!
If there were, I'd hope there would be an MG42 on it...
One of the really cool things about the Nikon D50 (and later models, as well, I assume, as offerings from other mfg.'s) is the very fast imaging speed. Click the button "SNAP" the picture is taken, as apposed to most digital cameras where you click the button...wait...and wait...and then, after waiting, the camera finally takes the image. I've had digital cameras like this, and it is infuriating, especially when you're trying to get an action shot, or while asking someone to hold a pose, or while you are trying to keep the camera still enough without the afore mentioned tripod.
Yeah, that was a good thing to remember. I've had my camera long enough now, that I'd forgotten that hassle. What a pain!
