Reviews on Nikon D50 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only
Wonderful entry DSLR
Strengths: Works up to ISO 1600, Solid build quality, Fast continuous mode, Perfect size and weight, sharp results, great Nikon metering, huge lens selection, no major weaknesses.
Weakness: No LCD backlight, No second command dial, can only use remote shutter release from the front of the camera, 1.5x FOV crop makes wide angle photography expensive or impossible.
My previous camera was a Nikon FG-20 35mm SLR which I still like to use every once in a while. I also had a midrange zoom AF Nikkor lens that I thought would make a good starter for the D50. The camera began working just fine, but after I dropped $100 on a fast Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, I've had a hard time putting the camera down. I'm a fan of using available light, so moving from 400 speed film up to...
D50
Strengths: Cheaper and lighter than D70(s)
Weakness: o LCD monitor is still small. It is only 2.0" while 2.5" is already very popular. o There is no ISO 100
I have a N80 with two nikkor lens 24-85D and Nikkor 70-300 ED. Because I want to reuse my lens so I didn't think about any other DSLRs. Even though I was so hesitate to choose between D50 and D70s and eventually I bot D50 because of the price and the quality of jpeg format picture. Although many people complain that unlike N80/D70 has two command dials, D50 only has one dial, this makes it...
Fantastick DSLR
Strengths: Light yet solid Great Pictures (even in auto mode)
Weakness: No DOF preview No backlit LCD Lack of front command dial (makes manual mode difficult)
Been shooting with the D50 for about a week now, with a Tamron 24-135 and a Nikkor 50/1.8. Great camera for anyone looking for a DSLR. Auto mode on this body is great, but you can get even better shots fine tuning the 20 or so custom settings. Good feel in hand, a little taller but not as wide as a F50, and slightly smaller than a D70. Solid construction and very high quality control, like most...
Cheap excelent performer
Strengths: Low price, Small size, fast turn on and shooting, Large LCD screen, Body design, finish and build quality
Weakness: No illumination on top LCD panel, No rear LCD cover like the D100 or D70
I am new to D-SLRs. My previous digital camera was a Sony cybershot point and shoot. When looking to move up to a D-SLR my needs were for it to be affordable, fast, reasonably sized, have a wide affordable selection of quality lenses, produce quality images right out the camera to reduce post processing and have good resolution and detail. These needs led me to the Cannon XT and the Nikon D50 and...
I had the Lenses from my 6006 - so I got the D50!
Strengths: Great pictures, user friendly. Sharp lens. Quality and feel. Long battery life. Macro mode.
Weakness: Haven't figured out how to use LCD as viewfinder yet.
I haven't had my D50 for long but I've been playing with it a lot and I'm really impressed. I was originally aiming to buy the D70 because I read so many great things about it, and in the process of doing my research, stumbled upon the D50. Anyway, it's much like the D70 except for a few rather advanced options that unless you're a real stickler for these manual features, makes no difference at...
Great DSLR with only a few flaws
Strengths: Cheap yet well-built, response is really fast, clear pictures even at high ISO.
Weakness: menu accessing is needed to change the metering model and bracketing. some important information like ISO rate is available neither in the viewfinder nor on the information LCD.
In my opinion, this camera body is clearly better built than the digital rebel xt. The grip is also more comfortable (you can put all the rest four fingers onto it instead of three). I have already used severral Nikkor and Sigma lens on this camera and the focusing is not only fast but also accurate. No focusing lost occurs as in Canon entry-level DSLRs. What is more important, the operation is...
Wonderful Camera
Strengths: Easy to use basic features. Great price.
Weakness: Lots of features that take time to learn.
I searched around a great deal before purchasing this camera. It takes wonderfully clear pictures. From all of the retailers that we contacted, everyone of the suggested this camera. Most even suggested it over its counterpart the D70. Overall, it is a very easy camera to use. It takes great pictures. We wanted to get a camera that performed well in lower light situations, and so far we have not...
Nikon D50
Strengths: Solid construction, ultra-fast responsiveness.
Weakness: Focus can be difficult to gauge in viewfinder.
Outstanding value and performance. I did not use the kit lens, instead I picked up the Nikon 50 mm f/1.8 lens - extraordinary value at $100 and delivers low light performance that exceeds or competes with virtually the entire Nikon lineup. I think being able to shoot without flash is one of the unique advantages of dSLR over regular digicams, so I highly recommend this lens. Also note that the...
Excellent camera
Strengths: Excellent quality photo, no shutter lag, easy to use, long battery life.
Weakness: Macro function on my Sigma AF D lenses are not working
I have been using Nikon N80 with 2 sigma zoom lenses with Macro. I also have a 5MP compact digital camera. I could not tolerate the shutter lag when I took photo for little boy. Would like to use my sigma lenses and dislike shutter lag on compact digial camera are the two main reason to chose Nikon D50. D50 is a great camera. I love it since I got it. Excellent image quality. I enlarged several...

TopNikon D50
The Nikon D50 may be a so-called entry level model; nevertheless it offers the user almost everything. Nikon offers a model of the lowest priced segment; this will make us meet more Nikons in the street. The Nikon D50 D-SLR provides excellent colour rendition, fine bright and no overwhelming noise. Also the auto focus proved its good service and absolutely lives up to the expectations. Read our...
TopDCRP Review: Nikon D50
The Nikon D50 is a very good entry-level digital SLR that performs just as well as the more expensive D70s, though you'll lose a few features along the way. Even so, many people will be happy to ditch those features to get an affordable D-SLR that performs very well.
TopNikon D50
Nikon and Canon have been fierce rivals in the photo business for decades now, and the advent of the digital era has only intensified the competition. Of course, this is nothing but good news for the consumer, as the battle between these two rivals (not to mention the rest of the growing pack of manufacturers), has resulted in a continuing stream of innovation and cost-cutting. The latest result...
TopNikon D50 Digital Camera Review
The Nikon D50 is a solid contender among entry level DSLRs, providing users with a 6 megapixel APS-format sensor, 2.5 frames-per-second burst mode, vibrant color rendition, and excellent noise performance. Available at an MSRP of $899.95 and selling for around $700 or even below online, the D50 falls into an increasingly crowded segment of the DSLR realm. Supplying a 2-inch, 130,000 pixel LCD and...

Great value and great allrounder with great lens...
Strengths: Very responsive, great low light performance, very small RAW files, good performance on auto for a SLR, good value and practical lens options, very sturdy and right size/weight for me
Weakness: Not all the bells and whistles, (especially prints > 14''). Metering/AF type only through menu. Continuos mode could be faster and (as all low cost SLRs) viewfinder could be larger.
I am not going to comment on image quality, check it out on e.g. dpreview.com, they are correct. The only thing I must mention is the great low-light performance, especially RAW, which is the biggest selling point for DSLRs for me (any new camera makes nice pictures in good light these days). I have given it a good run in the last 3 month including bright landscapes, tough indoor settings like...
