Advantages: great price Disadvantages: It's not the new D80 but it's a great camera for the price
I love the Nikon F50. It's the camera I recommend for anyone who wants the best camera possible, and they sell for only $650, including lens. Time moves fast in digital cameras. This F50 is better than the D1H for which I paid $4,000 in 2002 and didn't even come with a lens.
The F50 is especially good for kids, sports and action compared to more expensive fixed-lens cameras. I prefer it over everything else from other makers because it's so easy ... ...inputs and the image quality is fantastic. The F50 is a far cry better than any fixed-lens camera, even the much more expensive Sony DSC-R1. Unless you really understand abstract concepts like White Balance fine tuning you'll never find anything missing from the F50.

Well after 6 years of use and abuse I have to say that it has NOT dissapointed. I have taken shots in the heat and humidity of Florida in August and have succesfully sold shots taken in the middle of a scottish winter with ... ...only 10 secs and any vibrations ( from mounting on a tripod )will have settled down. All in all the Nikon F50 has been a joy to own and use, in fact I am seriously considering a second hand body as a back up. So if you see one..GRAB IT! ...

Advantages: Rugged, Good built in flash, Nikon lenses Disadvantages: Motor wind-e- a bit crap!
...nikon! Well welcome to the nikon F50, old yet reliable. The exposure is first rate and I can't fault it in any situation even when used with the cameras built in flash. However there are a few problems which I have encountered, when I brought the camera the sales assistant told me that I could take frames up to 1 a second hmmm, o.k maybe on a good day but in general the camera seems a little slow in the motor wind-e- section, the AF is very good ...
