Nikon D50 Digital Camera
The Nikon D50 Digital Camera was released in 2005 as a direct competitor with Canon’s Digital Rebel XT. Nikon users will recognize it as a simpler, less expensive version of the D70. It retails for about $625.
DPReview outlined a few of the major differences between the Nikon D50 and D70.
- The Nikon D50 has improved auto focus, especially in the area of motion tracking (take a look at the “Photo of the Day: Jump Ball” blog post below, which was taken with a D50).
- D50 is slightly smaller and lighter.
- D50 has a lower resolution metering sensor, but the sensor is a newer generation.
- D50 has a larger LCD display screen (2-inches).
- D50 uses a SD card, while the D70 camera uses CF cards.
- D50 is missing several supperfluous features that come with the D70 in order to make it easier to use.

He relied on the camera’s auto focus, which clearly worked well. His juggling effort paid off as he came away with a crisp, dramatic photo. No word on which bird ended up with the morsel. […]
