Nikon went back to the drawing board for this Consumer offering, trying to institute many of the things they included in many of its Prosumer line. Though lacking the robust construct, with Titanium frames, and glass-filled outer shell, it does have many of the most widely-used functions of their big brothers without the hefty stickers. No it won't survive a lengthy fall, but hopefully you purchased the licensed Nikon strap, and don't go slinging your gear around. This bare-bones SLR won't leave you unhappy, unless you forgot to carry a spare battery along, as there is no manual operation available. A fine shooting camera provided you don't need blazing shutter speeds, high frames a second, nor replaceable viewing screens.

I have several point and shoot options ranging from canon, fuji, nikon etc. Including the p5100 (which is my favorite) This camera CAN work almost exactly like a point and shoot. It CAN be used with manual options on almost everything as well for the more advanced photographer. This is my first SLR and so far I am hooked. The viewfinder is fantastic, clarity of the pictures was wonderfull. I couldn't be happier with this camera as a Beginner/Enthusiast. The only Con I can think of is that (like any camera) at the very least a cheap bounce flash is needed unless you're in good outdoor lighting.
This is my second EF SLR camera and I am extremely pleased with it. While the actual body can be purchase for a fraction of its initial price the Nikon lenses continue to command a healthy price tag. Having owned Yashica and Canon EF cameras in the past I find this Nikon easy to use with plenty of features. For anyone who desires to "go back to basics" and experiment with a single lens reflex camera vs digital there is no better camera than a Nikon.
The N50 was my first Nikon SLR. It was very easy to use and the picture quality was excellent. One can go from a very simple method of shooting to advanced as skills are acquired. I sold my first N50 and progressed up through N70, N80 and N90. I regretted ever selling my N50 and consequently bought another to add to my series. Now my grandchildren are trying to use it because it is so simple. Can't go wrong with one!
Very easy to use. Gives great pics. I can swap between full manual mose to auto very easy. One draw back is the flash recycle time, it is pretty slow if you're trying to take some action shots that require a flash.
When the camera first arrived I was hesitant. I'll be honest. I put in a roll a film and I started to take pictures. The camera sounded a bit sluggish and I was worried that it wasn't working correctly. I took a whole roll of film of various situations in Manual, Automatic, etc. I got the roll developed and I was quite surprised how crisp and clear the pictures came out. I used 200 speed color film, Fuji and Wow! The LCD screen is very easy to use, read and understand even without an owner's manual. I was able to figure out how to operate this camera without reading a manual. If you see a Nikon N50 buy it. Make sure it works. You will not be disappointed. The flash is a little slow but you can purchase a Nikon Flash if you want a faster response time. Recommendations are: Nikon SB-28. A wonderful camera for beginners, too! Enjoy!Read full review
