Nikon D50

I have been shooting for about 12 months and I love this camera. I have gone back and forth in regards to upgrading to a newer body, however, i can't seem to let go. Even though it has 6.0 mp's, i do pp in Photoshop anyway and stay within my bounds for printing images. Problems: None. It has powerup every single time, its reliable and the battery life is very good.

RAW image more detailed when JPEG. all good, but little LCD size. Problems: trought 3 year using no problem found (16000 shoot)

After 3,5 years of continuous use and some 20k shutter releases, no serious problems have been encountered. I shoot exclusively RAW and do my PP in Lightroom - LR profiles do good job of imitating the JPEG settings of the camera. Works very well with nikkors and 3rd party lenses - I own a couple of Sigmas and one Tamron. Positives: - great out of camera JPEGs - low noise (for 2005 camera), great colors - excellent ergonomics - long lasting battery - instant responsiveness, shutter lag barely ...

I like the D50...but do shoot in RAW as you'll be able to manage the colours much better.

I have had my D50 for about 4 years. I use it both for fun and occasionally for weddings, portraits, various events, etc. The image quality is excellent, up to 11X13, however I rarely push matters so far. I occasionally use the kit lens if I need the wider settings. However I mostly use my old Tokina professional series 28-70 2.8 lens and the images are wonderful. The battery life is phenomenal and the camera has performed flawlessly. Trying to shoot manually, though, is a pain. (I am an ...

The Nikon D50 surprised me, i thought that it was inferieur to the Nikon D70 i also own, but it isn't . The D50 can compete with the D70 and specific in higher iso speeds the D50 is much better with it's noise levels. In handeling it is almost the same as the D70, only in M mode there is the difference because the D50 does not have a front command dial , but setting the shutterspeed first, than press the E/V buttoun holding it down in M mode turning the command dial makes it possible to ...

After 3 years and 15k shots I still love this camera. For my photographer skills is more than enough. Best JPEG out of the camera that I ever saw. Only miss a wider LCD and a battery grip. Problems: None, only wear.

Excellent camera

Im satisfied user. I did not gave 5.0 to all parameters, because it is entry level DSLR and also nobody is perfect. Long battery life (well the original coming died at the second day, but the additional one was enough strong for long shottings). Available bracketing, as we see Nikon cut this from D40 and D60... Why? Image quality - for this price it was better than expected. Some people sais it was heavy... I like heavy cameras, and this is bound also with the stability. For me this was a plus. ...
