Packed with features, yet easy to use.
Not designed for the professional.
I 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.
If you are thinking of spending over £300 on a digital compact, I strongly urge you to find a little extra capital and invest in a Nikon D50, currently available with a 18-55mm zoom lens for a tad over £400, which incidentally, is less than I paid 5 months ago.
