Nikon D50 Silver

The Nikon D50 was launched in June, 2005, and was in production for less than 18 months. It was Nikon's answer to Canon's 300D and 350D. It’s a very lightweight camera whilst having professional characteristics such as the ability to use the early generation of Nikon AF lenses which are screw-driven by a motor in the camera (i.e. backwards-compatible). Also, there is an LCD screen on the top plate. Both these features were abandoned when Nikon revised their entry-level cameras.

The D50 uses a CCD sensor. From 200 to 800 ISO there is no discernible noise and even the fastest setting of 1600 ISO is satisfactory.
