The bad: Simplified controls sometimes clumsy to use; small viewfinder; no depth-of-field preview; only one set of custom parameters; RAW-file editing/control software costs extra.
The bottom line: Performance and features that rival those of more expensive digital SLR cameras make the 6-megapixel Nikon D50 one of the best entry-level options.

Jan 5, 2007Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Good Image, Easy to Use, Built Quality, Size, SD Card
Cons: Kit Lens
Opinion:
This is a good all rounder SLR camera, which is comparable to a D70S. Its suit my needs fully as I am an amature photographer.

Pros: great images
Cons: missing features as compared to prosumer digicam

3. no date imprint - not major problem, but would be good if I have the option to turn on and off, that's useful for holiday shot;

Value for money
May 13, 2006Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Easy to use. Good picture quality and fast startup time.
Cons: Camera at 6MP only.
Opinion:
As usual, Nikon with the reliable camera and system. But should consider to upgrade it to 8MP as this will be the entry level trend for Prosumer dSLR camera for the coming year.
