Title: nikon d50
Pros: Strong performance; excellent image quality; low visual noise; simple modes for neophytes; robust burst mode.
Cons: Simplified controls sometimes clumsy to use; small viewfinder; no depth-of-field preview; only one set of custom parameters; RAW-file editing/control software costs extra.
Summary: Performance and features that rival those of more expensive digital SLR cameras make the 6-megapixel Nikon D50 one of the best entry-level options.

Title: Digital Camera: The Nikon D50
Verdict: I deliberately severely cropped some images, ending up with using about half the frame- the equivalent of turning the D50 into a 3MP camera. Blowing them up on an Epson 2200, I was able to get crisp 11 x 14 photos without any problems. If you're going to
Summary: Though the new 6MP Nikon D50 is more compact and less expensive than the D70s, it will deliver images every bit as good and is simpler to use, making it an ideal entry dSLR. In fact, it may be the only dSLR you'll ever need

Verdict: Nikon's D50 may not be a great leap forward from the D70 but there was little need for improvement. This is a well-built camera that takes great-quality images, all for just £649. Canon's 8Mp 350D is tempting at only £50 more but both are wonderful mid-

Title: Nikon D50 + 18-55mm Lens - Entry Level DSLR
Verdict: The D50 kit is a mixed bag. On the one hand it is a truly affordable, easy-to-use digital SLR that offers an entry point into the huge Nikon system. It is well designed, well made and performs admirably. On the other hand it has a sub-par lens and some pr

Title: nikon d50
Pros: Excellent handling of noise, Produces sharp images (even with the kit lens), Fast 1/500 X-sync speed, Can use pop-up flash as "master" trigger, +/- 5 EV compensation range is far more versatile than competing models, Autofocus does well in low light,

Verdict: The Nikon D50 is a bridge camera, meant to snag users who are on the fence, deciding between a high-end "SLR-like" camera and a low-end DSLR. Here's the case for the D50: it has a larger sensor than most "SLR-like" cameras, leading to richer images with m

Title: nikon d50
Pros: Sturdy design; excellent image quality; convenient size.
Cons: Interlocked controls make changing parameters a hassle; no depth-of-field preview button; no backlight on the status LCD.
Verdict: Nikon offers the D50 body only for $819, the body and an 18-55mm lens for $900, or the body and both the 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses for $1,304, though street prices vary
Summary: If you're trying to choose between Nikon and Canon D-SLR cameras, the D50 might not be such an obvious winner. But if you have been wanting to go digital but haven't liked the high prices, the D50's sub-$1,000 sticker should make it a slam-dunk.

Summary: Nikon's latest brace of digital SLRs lower the entry-price into the professional camera market still further. Both will challenge the wave of high-end, closed-system prosumer models, such as Sony's Cyber-Shot DSC-F828 and Nikon's own Coolpix 8800.

Title: REVIEW-NIKON D50 digital single lens reflex
Pros: This is another quality Nikon camera that feels well made and robust. It is larger and heavier than the competition but sits in the hand so well that the weight and bulk are not an issue. Output quality is outstanding.
Cons: The kit lens works well enough but it doesn't inspire confidence because of its light weight and plastic materials. It is obviously a lens made down to a price whereas there is nothing about the camera body that suggests penny saving by using cheap materi
Verdict: The obvious competitor for the Nikon D50 is the Canon EOS 350D. The Canon is $300 dearer, actually feels like a cheaper camera in its construction, but it does have an 8mp sensor. However Canon also supply a cheap and uninspiring kit lens. This is a decis
