Nikon D50 Review by CNET
David D. Busch from Cnet gave 7.6 out of 10 ratings to Nikon D50 and wrote:
“The good:Strong performance; excellent image quality; low visual noise; simple modes for neophytes; robust burst mode.
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.”
