Peak Design's newest Camera Cubes allow you to turn any pack or bag into a camera-carrying accessory.

Tests of the D50 at all ISO levels indicated that it did offer low noise without loss of contrast or detail. This is in part a testament to the lens too, which performs well for its class: images are well drawn, although detail could be more crisply rendered. These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. The only key difference between the D50 and D70 from an image pipeline point of view is that the image processing algorithm has now been tweaked to improve rendition of highlight detail (to clip less and have a softer roll-off to the highlight).Nikonians are known as great sources of photographic info to many of their friends, so this article should help with questions they are likely to be asked.

On top of the body you find the usual DSLR controls: an on-off switch surrounding the shutter button, a display next door with self-timer, and exposure over-ride buttons. Competitors of the D50 included the Canon EOS 350D, the Pentax *ist DS, the Konica Minolta Dynax 5D, and the Olympus E-300.

The D50 is the only entry-level Nikon DSLR to have the autofocus motor ('screw drive') built into the camera body, making the camera backwards-compatible with mechanical-drive autofocus lenses ( Nikkor AF/AF-D series) dating back to 1989. The Nikon D50 is introduced as a more affordable and easier to use version of the D70 which was released just under fifteen months ago.

Its success sent a shockwave through the photographic community and not only encouraged a new group of photographers to go digital, it also caused some scrambles among other manufacturers. Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this mode you select the aperture and the camera will calculate the correct shutter speed depending on metered exposure, exposure compensation and ISO sensitivity. Its staff were at the forefront of the digital publishing revolution, and spearheaded the move to bring consumer technology journalism to its natural home – online. Clearly the D50 is designed to compete with other affordable digital SLR's such as the Canon EOS 350D (Digital Rebel XT), Pentax *ist DS and Olympus E-300.
