Professional Reviews of the Nikon D50

  • 4.5 out of 5
Personally I like the Nikon D50 a lot, it just gives you the right combination for an excellent price (Let's Go Digital - 4/20/05)

Though not a formal review, this hands-on preview of the Nikon D50 has plenty of pictures of Nikon's newest SLR, and a very thorough rundown of its features. From the looks of it, the Nikon D50 should make an ideal digital SLR for amateur photographers. read original review
