Nikon D50 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor Lens
Nikon's D50 interchangeable-lens digital SLR camera is designed to make it easier
than ever to enjoy the thrill of outstanding digital SLR
picture quality easily and instantly. Combining the outstanding
response of Nikon's patented digital and photographic
performance with optical performance available only from
renowned Nikkor interchangeable lenses and expanded shooting
options only available in a quality digital SLR camera,
the Nikon D50 makes exceptional digital SLR photography
a reality for everyone.
The next evolution of Nikon's scene-optimized Digital
Vari-Program modes simplifies picture taking, freeing
the photographer to concentrate on capturing the evanescence
of special moments. Selecting one of the seven easily
distinguishable icons from the handy exposure mode dial
optimizes otherwise complex settings and ISO-equivalent
sensitivity to produce consistently remarkable results.
Newly added is Child mode, which makes it easier to take
memorable pictures of the little ones complete with ideal
vivid color and contrast--ready to print beautifully without
the fuss of later adjustments at the computer. Full manual
exposure control is also available, allowing more advanced
photographers all the creative freedom they desire while
also making it possible for all photographers to expand
their enjoyment of photography.
The D50 features a new 6.1 effective megapixel Nikon
DX Format CCD image sensor and a highly advanced image
processing engine that team together to create truly
faithful image files that are capable of significant
enlargement while remaining manageable in overall file
size, making it easier to take and store more great
pictures. These optimized components produce more consistent
results, even under shooting conditions that challenge
other digital cameras, such as when working with light-colored
subjects or long exposure shots.
Distinguishing itself over lesser systems, the Nikon
D50 is always ready to shoot when that special moment
or expression presents itself. When the power is turned
on, the camera is ready to shoot in just 0.2 seconds
for near-instant readiness. The shutter's release lag
time is also minimized for near-instant response that
virtually eliminates a common frustration of digital
photography.
