Nikon D50-Body Only
Price: $579 - $579
Actually better than the D40!!05/11/07
- Pros:
- image quality, built, use SD cards
- Cons:
- no RAW software included (like most Nikon SLR), no LCD backlight
I just bought it yesterday and, after having own a Nikon D40, I must say that I prefer the D50!!
The image quality is slightly better, thanks to a more accurate auto white balance (except under incandescent light which is still problematic unless using a preset or manual WB). the only things I miss from the D40 are the viewing LCD screen which is way much better on the D40 and the menus which are less dated on the D40.
Beside those 2 factors the D50 is a great entry level camera!!

Nikon D40
Price: $441.98 - $464.95
I love it!!!12/23/06
- Pros:
- Excellent photo quality, great 2.5 LCD screen, great battery life, Easy and fun to use, low noise
- Cons:
- Tends to overexpose, limited to AF-S lenses, no exposure bracketing
I bought that camera 2 days ago and so far I love it!!! Tires of point and shoot camera, I was looking for a SLR but my budget was kind of limited. After having hesitated for weeks between the Canon XT, the Nikon D50 and the D40, I decided to go with the D40. Even if it has less feature than the XT, the D40 fealt kind of nice in my hands.
After having read several reviews of that camera I was aware of his tendency to everexpose but it can be easily prevented by adjusting the exposure settings.Some reviews also complained about the fact that there's only 3 focus points but so far it works well for me. As a matter of fact the D40 focus very well in low light!!
Looking for your first SLR? Do yourself a favor and give the Nikon D40 a chance!
