I see jessops have refurbished Nikon D50 for £88

but this model is not mentioned on the Nikon web site.

I find this strange.

Does anyone have any thoughts about the d50

thanks

£88? more like £388 i should go back and recheck the price.
it a good camera, once you get used to the settings.
but if i was going for my firt dslr again, then i would go for the d80 or
the d200, cost more but you get what you pay for.




Sorry, I should have said, they are refurbished units.

Nikon REFURBISHED D50 Black c/w 18-55mm f3.5/5.6 G ED Lens
Home Delivery Usually Within 10 Days

I was just thinking of it as an introduction to dslr before I buy a more
advanced model. At £88 it seams a reasonable into.

I want to replace my Canon T90.

You did note that they are refurbished in your original post. It's a nice
camera, I think it would be a good choice as your first DSLR. Good size,
handles well, good in low light. It is a discontinued model, replaced by
the D40x which in some respects is a step down - the D40 does not have an
internal AF motor so you can only use lenses with built-in motors on the D40
if you don't want to focus manually. The D50 has an internal AF motor.
