Very good

7.6

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.6 out of 10
Reviewed by David D. Busch
Review date: 8/29/05
Release date: 6/20/05

The good: Strong performance; excellent image quality; low visual noise; simple modes for neophytes; robust burst mode.

The bad: Simplified controls sometimes clumsy to use; small viewfinder; no depth-of-field preview; only one set of custom parameters; raw-file editing/control software costs extra.

The bottom line: Performance and features that rival those of more expensive digital SLR cameras make the 6-megapixel Nikon D50 one of the best entry-level options.
