Title of review Good Quality SLR
What are the strengths? I like this camera alot - It's my first SLR camera so I was a little unsure if it was to much for me. Image quality is in the top. It has more functions then I ever need - but who knows :)
What are the weaknesses? As all SLR cameras it's a little big and maybe not the best to carry arround.
Summary Overall a very good camera!

Title of review Sturdy
What are the strengths? Small and lightweight, great picture quality with vibrant images.
What are the weaknesses? Small view finder with only one set of custom parameters.
Summary A person like me who has just got into digital photography, a Nikon D50 is just right. The price does not dent your bankroll and the performance and features are great. Good build,design, imagery as well as price. The only con is the inter-locked controls which makes changing parameters a hassle.

Title of review Simply Digital!
What are the strengths? 6 Pixel - super imagery, supremely usable with simple nodes for new users.
What are the weaknesses? The one main weakness is that it tends to overexpose.
Summary The Nikon D50 is a sturdy camera with excellent design. The performances and features are comparable to any of the superior models in the same range. It is affordable and for people getting into digital photography, it is an optimum choice. Images are solid and vibrant. The only problems are overexposure and it does not have a backlight for LCD display.
