Nikon has managed to come in under the £500 price point with its first entry-level DSLR. But does it live up to the company's considerable reputation?
Expert review by : Doug Harman (pocket-lint.com)
Anyone considering getting into digital SLR photography today, but lacks the budget of a top professional, now has more options than ever to choose between. Canon's EOS 350D, Konica Minolta's 5D entry and Pentax's *ist DS are all ‘budget' D-SLRs...
Good price, good handling, build and design, large 2-inch colour LCD, USB 2.0 connectivity, great image quality.
Kit lens okay but not brilliant, single command dial.
The D50 represents an ideal D-SLR for those first time D-SLR buyers on a more modest budget. Image quality, handling, responsiveness and key features strike an excellent balance, and while the D50 lacks some of the more advanced bits of the D70s, it is...

The Nikon D50 claims a battery power of up to 2000 shots and although it lacks a memory card, comes with battery, charger, cables and software
Expert review by : Gordon Laing (techadvisor.co.uk)
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,...
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...

Little sister of the popular Nikon D70, the 6.1 megapixel D50 gives amateurs the chance to shoot high-resolution images at a very low cost. The ergonomics are well thought out and no major feature or function is missing. In the field, the Nikon D50...

Despite its targeted audience, the Nikon D50 offers state-of-the-art features like RAW+JPEG quality, three choices of RGB colour space, virtually unlimited continuous shooting with 2.5 fps, well reputed 3D Color Matrix precision metering, bracketing of...

Expert review by : best4reviews.com (best4reviews.com)
The D50 is a competent camera and represents a fantastic deal for first time D-SLR purchasers on a tight budget.
Good price, good handling, build and design, large 2-inch colour LCD, USB 2.0 connectivity, great image quality
The 18-55mm kit lens is quite limiting, as is a single command dial
Expert review by (ephotozine.com)
The D50 is Nikon's entry level DSLR, entering the market at £469 body only or £549 body and 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IF-ED. Don't let this entry level tag fool you though, this camera is packed with features and is more than capable of producing excellent...
Ergonomic Grip; Lightweight body; Excellent battery life; Well thought out layout of controls; User friendly controls
Silver finish is easily marked
Expert review by : Ashley Norris (gadgetcentre.com)
It is potentially a tricky time for digital camera manufacturers. Sure the market has exploded as punters have traded in their analogue snappers for shiny new digital models...
