News, Review, and Pictures of the Nikon D50 DSLR CameraAn early 6MP (mega-pixel) entrant in the prosumer digital SLR (single lens reflex) category, the Nikon D50 is a finely crafted piece of electronic machinery. It is intended to be a first DSLR for most customers, but that does not mean it is an underperformer. Powered by a Nikon DX format CCD image sensor, it is able to produce images that are crisped and more detailed than most 8MP competing cameras. As part of the Nikon family, the D50 offers compatibility with Nikon's large family of high-performance AF Nikkor lenses, as well as DX Nikkor lenses. The D50 comes with 7 optimized digital Vari-Programs (programmed modes) for: Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Child, Close Up, Sports, or Night Portrait. Of course, these are always challenging photo situations, and most cameras offer automated assistance in getting the settings right to make your pictures look the best. All in all, the Vari-Programs work as intended - in child mode, the fast shutter speed left us with only 1 blurred shot in a test. There are larger pictures below.
In continuous shooting mode, you can fire off 2.5 frames per second, up to 137 frames, allowing you to catch just the shot you need during high speed action or fast moving subjects. Storage is handled using Secure Digital (SD) memory cards (you can get a 1GB SD card for under $100), although none is included (would like to see these cameras coming with at least 256MB of flash memory built in, so you could shoot even without a memory card or when card is full - anyone listening?). Best Digital SLR Camera? Nikon D50 Review Continues..Of course the ultimate measure of any camera is the pictures it produces. The D50 doesn't disappoint. With 1600 lines of resolution, even photos shot at high ISO settings are noise free and sharp. Colors are rich and realistic. In comparison reviews, the D50 holds up against its higher priced brother, the Nikon D70. It is a bit smaller than the D70 but has a solid feel to it. Current price for body only is now below $650 - that's a very good price. Even though there are always new and improved versions of digital cameras being released, at this price you will not be disappointed in the very professional equipment and results you get.
