M lenses reportedly don't work well with digital (M8 and M9 have special sensor to deal with them). I think it's better to buy lenses designed with digital and a smaller sensor in mind, but that's just me I guess.
Fujifilm already released 3 compact, fast primes, and that's what I want - no more slow, bulky zoom lenses for me.

Interesting, my Olympus C-7070 is probably same age as your D50. I know higher end cameras are guaranteed for 100k shutter count or 150k, etc. minimum. Lower-end have no such guarantee.
According to this:
http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/nikon_d50.htm D50 has 80% survival at 48k-64k count, and survival rate declines dramatically after that.
Mine is a point-and shoot though, electronic shutter instead mechanical, so shutter count makes no difference, though there are other mechanical parts such as the dials and zooming.
