Title: Nikon D50(11/7/06)Summary: Unlike Canon when they produced the EOS 300D (Digital Rebel) Nikon chose not to cripple their affordable digital SLR. Instead the D50 while lacking some of the D70's features doesn't compromise performance or photographic flexibility, most important for first time buyers who (surely) the manufacturers hope will progress to a more... Read the full review Pros: ; Good resolution and detail, just slight less 'crisp' than the D70/D70s; Use of default color Mode III delivers punchy vibrant colors; Value for money; USB 2.0 (Hi-speed) transfers; Large,2.0" LCD monitor; Image comment attachment; Fully Nikkor lens compatible (plus new DX lenses); Very fast camera operation, virtually no startup, Cons: ; RAW+JPEG only captures a Basic quality JPEG; No viewfinder grid lines (surprisingly useful if you're used to them; D70/D70s); One command dial; Kit lens performance is pretty average, corner soft, light fall-off; LCD monitor display gamma can make some images appear over-exposed when they aren't; Still some moire / maze artifact pattern Country:

Title: Nikon D50(9/20/06)Summary: The Nikon D50 claims a battery power of up to 2000 shots and although it lacks a memory card, comes with battery, charger, cables and software... Read the full review Verdict: Forget the low-ish pixel-count, this camera has the lot: handling, features and image quality. Add that to the high-powered battery, good for a claimed 2000 shots, and you have a real belter Country:

Title: Review: Nikon D50(2/22/06)Summary: Read the full review Verdict: I like this camera more than I expected to, given that it is an entry-level offering and my normal workhorse is a D2X, which is hardly a fair comparison. It is easy to use as an SLR, giving good control and produces good quality images. In any case, most of my dislikes were generally solved using the options provided within the menu Country:

Title: Nikon D50Summary: Read the full review 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-price SLRs. Country:

Title: Nikon D50Summary: Visually almost indistinguishable from the D70 but a good £200 cheaper. The controls on the D50 are much simpler to that of its counterpart. However what is most impressive about the D50 is the supreme image quality the shots are bright and stand out. It maybe made of plastic but its really solid and excellent for the money.
