Nikon D50

Résumé : The D50 is Nikon's answer to the rapidly growing mid-price SLR (single lens reflex) digicam market, offering 6.1Mp (megapixel) resolution and a 3X zoom lens for £649. As such, it's up against some tough competition from the likes of Canon's EOS-350D, ...

Conclusion : 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 ...

Résumé : A serious snapper offering seriously good value.

Points forts : Great picture quality; Solid; Cheap for a DSLR

Points faibles : Small viewfinder; Unintuitive controls; Big

Points faibles : No depth of field preview ; 200-1600 ISO range (in full stops) is limited compared to competition ; Limited white balance options ; Default colors were vibrant but inaccurate ; Only one jog dial for exposure settings ; Uses SD cards, so it's not ...

Conclusion : The Nikon D50 is a bridge camera, meant to snag users who are on the fence, deciding between a high-end "SLR-like" camera and a low-end DSLR. Here's the case for the D50: it has a larger sensor than most "SLR-like" cameras, leading to richer images ...
