The Nikon D50 is a beautifully looking piece of kit (especially in sliver, which I paid an extra £5 for) which feels perfectly weight in the hand (As do most SLR's). If you are a past user of Nikon camera's you will be at home with the size and shape of the D50.
In comparison to the entry level Canon and the Konica Minolta 5D (who have now been bought out by Sony) if performs favourably in the area's of colour clarity and ease of use of the menu. BUT it does not have any form of image stabilisation, which is where the Minolta rules! Say good bye to shaky pictures, with blurry lines.
Saying that, the crispness possible with the Nikon is amazing to see, with clearly defined lines and colours it shows up beautifully over short and long distance. The provided lens is wide enough, and a telephoto lens will add much variety to the camera.
Buy with a 1gb card and take 558+ pictures on the card, which is an amazing amount (took 300+ in a week in Egypt). Don't be expecting all the features you get in a normal digital camera (movie recording etc), this is a purists digital SLR but is well worth the buy for a beginner!
Worth the buy though check out the new Sony/Minolta's first!
