The D70s "lite" – Nikon's new D50 with Nikkor AF-S G DX f/3.5-f5.6/18-55mm Zoom

by Howard_Creech Howard_Creech is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Aug 21 '05
Pros: Very fast, solid build quality, outstanding image quality, and excellent battery life
Cons: Kit lens is a bit soft in the corners, no DOFP button
One of the most remarkable consequences of the past decade is the almost lemming-like parade of consumers jumping on the digital camera bandwagon. Family snap-shooters, casual shutterbugs, and serious amateur photographers worldwide abandoned millions ...

Nikon Got It Right!

by rwillard1 , Aug 08 '05
Pros: Photo quality, flexibility and simplicity; ease of use with simple buttons and dials; solid construction.
Cons: "Kit" lenses offered are less than great solutions, consider upgrading.
You can think of the Nikon D50 in two ways -- as a very intelligently "dumbed-down" (and less expensive) D70, or as a quantum (and more expensive) leap in terms of versatility and picture quality from even the most expensive P&S digital cameras on the ...

D50: Poor man's treasure, (updated)

by cu301 , May 23 '06
Pros: Perfect size, perfect weight, countless features, built like a tank
Cons: Top LCD not backlit but the same info's in the viewfinder
I've had my D50 for less than a month so far and let me tell you this thing is more than I wanted. Initially I was just looking for an affordable way to take great pictures and still have room to hone my photography skills until the day I decided to ...

A Great camera that you won't regret buying!

by zerodk , Feb 06 '06
Pros: Great picture quality, Easy to set up and use, Build quality, Lowered cost, SD cards
Cons: Autofocus hunting, Weight, Still expensive, Accessories expensive, SD cards (if you use CF before), Dust
Before going on to the review, a key in whether or not this camera is right for you is whether you need an SLR. I've owned several digital cameras before. I love my Olympus C-3040 when I bought it a few years back for great automatic function and the ...

A Wonderful Entry-Level Digital SLR ... And It's A Nikon!

by truegenius , Sep 18 '06
Pros: Excellent color, sharpness and definition. Ink jet prints are beautiful.
Cons: Heavy, auto-focus occasionally struggles, controls and viewfinder info display could be better.
It's funny how things go full circle sometimes. My first serious digital camera was a Nikon and now that I'm trying out digital SLR photography, once again, I'm using a Nikon. I've known about Nikon's legendary picture quality for years – both from ...

Great step up from point & shoot

by greenglowz , Mar 27 '06
Pros: Sturdy, well balanced, LOOOONG battery life, TONS of features.
Cons: None - especially given the price!
This is a truly amazing camera. Let me start by saying that I am a Canon user who has been converted to Nikon by the D50, since it offers basically the same amount of camera as the Canon Rebel XT for about $200 less (6.1 versus 8.0 megapixels, but the ...

Nikon D50 - Perfect for the Serious Amateur

by craigie , Aug 17 '05
Pros: Great feel, layout, function controls, smart camera.
Cons: NONE...no kidding!
Okay, let's do some soul-searching at the front end. If you're looking for a pro digital, stay with the larger formats, not the digital replacements for 35mm film cameras. However, if you are a serious amateur, the Nikon D50 is perfect. I've used ...

An alternative to the Rebel

by pawtraitp , Dec 05 '05
Pros: Fast in operation, great for sports parents
Cons: No ISO 100 setting
Let me first say, that this not a long term review, but based on a personal comparison of the two leading dSLR models in this sub $750 market. I used the D50 for a day and I liked it. Nikon D50 with 18-55mm lens, this is the camera that Nikon launched ...

Simple complexity!

by alanbweaver , Jan 14 '06
Pros: Tons of features, you can grow with it, great image quality
Cons: sometimes a bit TOO complex!
This is a going to be a short review of an excellent camera. I’ve worked with more than few digital cameras in my time, from small megapixels units to some pretty serious stuff. This is one of the most serious cameras that I've worked with. It is ...

excellent beginner DSLR camera

by coolbluetiger , Mar 19 '06
Pros: Nice body, great pictures, option to add lens, long battery life.
Cons: no wireless flash commander mode
1. Selection process: I got this Camera at a local Costco as a kit. I have narrowed down to two models as my picks for me. A Canon Rebel XT and the Nikon D50. I have done both online and in store research prior to purchase, so I consider myself an ...

Disappointed for reasons I didn't even expect

by Nazdravie , Dec 21 '05
Pros: Great build, exceptional picture quality, super fast focus
Cons: Occasionally out-of-focus pictures
I think I'm not alone on this. The reason I'm somewhat disappointed may be experienced by people switching from film SLRs to digital then to DSLR. I'm not a newbie nor expert. I've owned numerous cameras including a Canon A-1 (not AE-1) which was ...

A good starter DSLR

by sailingshot , Jul 10 '05
Pros: Great camera overall, image quality, typical DSLR pros
Cons: Single command dial, no built-in wireless, slower AF, no light on top display
A few folks have complained about the focus of my reviews, so let me explain this one. Most folks looking at the D50 will almost certainly be looking at the D70s as well. My review is aimed at that majority. I bought a D50 for a cousin as a gift and ...

Great choice to capture memories for years to come.

by tomandkellyo , Mar 25 '08
Pros: Ease of use; quality of construction; fantastic image quality.
Cons: Relatively low resolution compared to newer models (6 megapixels vs. 10+).
We purchased this camera three years ago after extensive research of several comparable digital SLR models. The ratings and reviews we found at that time were excellent, and we discovered a terrific deal on the camera with lens through Amazon. After ...

REVIEW ON NIKON D50

by kool100vr4 , Jul 27 '07
Pros: SOLID BUILD, COMPACT, GREAT PRICE, FAST AF AND NO SHUTTER LAG...
Cons: Perhaps the body is too short for those with big hand.
Well!, i have owned over 14 digital cameras so far, from all the different brands, like: Canon, Fuji, Olympus,Panasonic, Sony and now Nikon. The reason i buy Nikon last is because i work as a foto specialist for 2 different big newspapers for about 27 ...

Entry level digital SLR

by amcgann1 , May 17 '07
Pros: Easy to hold, well built. Nice features.
Cons: Continuous shooting lag time, excessive noise in all ISO settings.
I've owned this camera for over a year now. I hummed and hawed about going digital for almost 2 years before I finally did it. I'm glad I did, you really don't know what you are missing until you do. The D50 has served me and my photography business ...
