  By Andrew Kliem
  
  Pros: Brilliant images, unstoppable battery, great price
  
  Cons: Button layout and build a little weak, not as robust as more expensive models

  Nikon D50 DSLR
  By Gordon Laing
  
  Review summary: Digital SLR The D50 is Nikon's answer to the rapidly growing mid-price SLR (single lens reflex) digicam market, offering 6.1 megapixel resolution and a 3x zoom lens for $1,749. As such, it's up against some tough competition from the likes of Canon's ...

  nikon d50
  By Ben Long
  
  Review summary: If you're trying to choose between Nikon and Canon D-SLR cameras, the D50 might not be such an obvious winner. But if you have been wanting to go digital but haven't liked the high prices, the D50's sub-$1,000 sticker should make it a slam-dunk.
  
  Pros: Sturdy design ; excellent image quality ; convenient size
  
  Cons: Interlocked controls make changing parameters a hassle ; no depth-of-field preview button ; no backlight on the status LCD
  
  Verdict: Nikon offers the D50 body only for $819, the body and an 18-55mm lens for $900, or the body and both the 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses for $1,304, though street prices vary
