The Nikon D50 Digital SLR

After getting a Nikon D50 in my hands, I was blown away at its ease of use. The package I purchased included the 18mm to 55mm Nikor lens. The construction of the body at first feel is much more substantial than the Canon digital rebel and rebel XT. In short order I decided that I needed more zoom than came with the standard lens so I bought the 55-200mm Nikor DX lens. This is a great lens for the money. It integrates well with the D50 and has outstanding zoom and focus capabilities. The first memory card I bought for it was a 256 Meg SD card due to the fact the package did not include one. Quickly I realized a first generation 256 Meg SD card was inadequate for what I wanted to shoot. The 256 card was quickly replaced with a SanDisk 512 Meg Ultra II SD card. Shooting faster was not an issue and file transfers to my computer were also much faster. No good camera should be without a bag, so after some research the Nikon Digital SLR bag packaged with an extra lithium ion battery, 52 mm UV lens filter, and guide to SLR photography seemed like a good value for around one hundred retail. The camera bags sturdy construction and adjustability make it a necessary compliment to a Nikon Digital SLR owner’s collection.
