Nikon D50

This is a personal review of the nikon D50 and not a technical one. for a technical review of the D50 visit the nikon website. i have had my D50 for coming up on a year now and prior to buying this unit i went out and had a good look at other manufacturers equivelants. My main reasons for going with the D50 was it was going to be my introduction to the digital SLR world and i didnt want to spend a small fortune on a camera that i would not use to its full ability. having played around with the cannon and sony equivelant the main differance for me was the feel of the camera, the cannon when held left my little finger floating around underneith with nothing to grip. and ...  Read the complete review

The nikon d50. WOW. This is my first dslr camera, but it does not fail to please. The picture quality is very high, build qaulity is great, and the kit lens is a real compliment to the body. I love how Nikon have managed to combine so much, into such a good-sized, yet mega-value camera. I mean, for around £350, this camera is yours. I am happy too with the durablity of this camera. I have taken pictures next to dusty car-racing tracks, then needed to change to a telephoto lens. I have done this several times, yet dust build-up on the interior mirror and backs of lense is non-exsistant. Being a very clumsy individual, I've ...  Read the complete review

The Nikon D50 is my first Proper DLSR camera. Having Upgraded from a Konica Monica Z1 I was hoping that the money I was investing would be worth it. Very shortly after getting the camera delivered, I was outside taking pictures and getting used to the camera. At first all I did was have it in 'Auto' mode so nothing challenging. I then moved on to the custom modes, and all I can say is WOW! Te camera comes (usually) with a 15-50mm lens, and you can purchase a 30-300mm lens for about £100-£300. The quality of the images is second to none, and the depth of color fantastic. The camera has been replaced with the D40, but I would recommend ...  Read the complete review

This is NOT a technical review; if you need all the techie details I suggest a visit to the Nikon website. My review is a personal one – from a camera user, and potential purchaser’s point of view. I am writing this particular review in response to the rather lacklustre offerings that I have read about this particular camera. I really was hoping that my favourite review sites would point me in the correct direction over the choice of my first D-SLR – Digital Single Lens Reflex camera, but sadly, no, that did not turn out to be the case. Without the aid of up to date consumer reviews, just how did I end up investing in this particular piece of kit? ...  Read the complete review

Nikon have always been renowned for the quality of their cameras, in a compact form or in a larger SLR form. This camera falls into the latter category, as an SLR camera. It spent a long time, about two years, as the flagship model for Nikon, before being replaced by the Nikon D40. Still it offers a now cheaper alternative to the D40, and offers a similar picture for much less. The D50 features a 6.1 megapixel sensor embedded, this may not compare to many of the compact cameras seen in the market today, but a far better picture still occurs, because of the quality of the sensor simply being much better. The lens that comes with the camera is an 18-55mm, a good ...  Read the complete review
