I can remember getting my fist point-and-shoot camera with my brother. It was the Fuji FinePix MX-1200. The thing was so old, it actually used Smart Media cards. I’ve come a long way since then. Last year, I decided to get a digital SLR. I knew ...

I am new to the DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera world, so after much research, I decided to go with a Nikon, and the D50 came highly rated. I purchased mine with a bonus of 2 other lenses through a special deal around Christmas. I started ...

Pros: Great camera at a better price than the D70s.
Cons: There's a lot of stuff to learn. So many options...so little time.

After researching between the Nikon D50, D70S, and Canon Rebel XT cameras I decided on the D50 because of its size, weight, and features. I decided not to get the kit lens because I wanted different lenses than were offered. This is the best camera for amatuer or professional "wanna be" photographers. It's also wonderful for parents taking pictures of their kids. I have a very active one year old and a 5 year old in gymnastics. Gyms aren't lit very well, but this camera with a 70-300 mm lens takes great pix across the gym. With an additional flash they a Fantastic. My one year old is always on the go and making funny faces, now I don't miss those great photo ops that I was missing with my old auto focus digital camera.

This camera is a little heavier than the Canon Rebel XT but I like it because it helps keep the camera stable. It's a little lighter and smaller than the D70 and I don't miss the few features the D70s has that this camera doesn't.

Pros: Well built, small, easy to use, great price.
Cons: None. Maybe have a second dial in front for apertures.

It seems like now there's as many DSLRs as colors to pick from. But there's something about Nikon's that always stand out, even if is the smallest one. Solid or high quality built. Optics that are second to none. Advanced features that are easy to use. All at a great price.

Although very similar to D70 series models, this is a much simpler camera to use. It's more focused to point and shooters, with all the great features of the D70's. It does all that's required of this kind of camera. Does it well. Does it in a clear and simple way.

Ever since I got this camera, I haven't been using any of my other point and shoots as much as I used to. If you need to do higher level photography with more complex lenses or tools you can still use it, although most likely you might want to go with a D70 or even D200 series because of the more advanced features. But just to have it with you all the time, small, light, though, this baby gets two thumbs way up!!

Enjoy.

Pros: Affordable, Reliable, Exceptional Images
Cons: No white balance. Difficult menus at night.

Nice little pro-sumer. Takes great photos, reliable, easy to use camera. Nikon Quality good for landscapes, parties,weddings, sports--anything in daily life. Received it as a gift. I shoot alot and with a 2g card you can go forever. Wish I had the white balance sometimes but plenty of camera for the money. As good or better than D70, better pictures than a comparble Canon. Good price that keeps dropping. If you have Nikon lens and don't shoot for a living, you won't need anything else. Ergonomically comfortable and feels great in my hands. Images are exceptional.

Pros: has manual and auto settings.
Cons: a little fragile.

This is a great entry SLR. With the price dropping, it will be popular more than ever.

It is great for those who wanting to learn. It has all the auto settings but at the sametime, you can switch to full manual control.

Pros: Packed with features, yet easy to use.
Cons: Not designed for the professional.

gave up my faithful Minolta X-GM SLR camera some years ago in favour of going digital, at which point I ceased to enjoy my photography. As an amateur I could not justify the huge price tag that usually accompanied the digital SLR or D-SLR and had to settle for a compact.

Thanks to Nikon and the D50, I am once again enjoying photography. This is an excellent entry-level D-SLR camera that produces high quality, 6 mega-pixel images without breaking the bank. It can serve the uninitiated with the ability to be fully automated, whilst also allowing the more knowledgeable or adventurous to take manual control. There is no discernible shutter lag, the bane of the digital photographer and the auto focus, with adjustable settings, works extremely well. Depth of field can easily be manipulated by taking control of the aperture settings, whilst exposure is easily adjusted via a control wheel conveniently situated beneath the shutter switch.

Pros: Won't take a larger SD Card.
Cons: Easy to use and great photos.

Love this camera. Instruction booklet
maintains that this camera is only
tested to work well with 1GB and
below SD cards. 2GB Kingston
failed in this camera.

Pros: Inexpensive, SLR, digital, SD memory
Cons: none, really

I did a lot of research. I came from using an old Nikon N90s and wanted to go digital. Looked at everything. Konica Minolta, Nikon, Canon.

I was going to get the Konica Minolta, but since they were selling all their camera tech to Sony, I had to look elsewhere.

I narrowed down my choices to the Nikon D50 or the Canon Rebel XT.

I picked the nikon because:
I could get the body for $409 online, the cheapest Canon I could find at the time was $800.

I've been happy with it ever since. I bought a Tamron 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 and a Nikon 50mm F/1.8 and have been taking great pictures with it.

Features:
1) Great high ISO low noise.
2) For shutter speeds lower than 1 sec, there is a feature for in camera noise reduction
3) ISO 200-1600
4) Shutter speeds 30 sec to 1/4000 sec, buld in manual mode
5) various White balance(WB) modes and a custom WB function.
6) 2.5 FPS continuous frames for 137 frames
7) Instant start up
8) built in speedlight
9) 6MP, JPG and RAW
