    Just a quick note how deeply dissapointed we were with the pictures after returning from our holidays, for which we bought the camera.

    Using only full automatic mode, pictures taken on sunny days outdoors were TERRIBLY, AWFULLY PALE. They were so bad that only a few could be rescued by computer software, by adjusting contrast. Most, 90% were wasted.

    VERY VERY VERY dissapointed.

    Our pics taken with this camera on the first sunny days of the spring turned out very washed out and flat. They were so underexposed that later software modification on the computer could not entirely bring them to acceptable contrast. Pictures were not sharp enough. Enlarging pics to full size on the computer revealed annoying color casts similar to those seen on frames transfered from digital video tapes. camera is very heavy, not convenient for lengthy hiking trips. battery life is good though. all in all we are very dissapointed with nikon d50.

    Easy to use, no frills camera – features that suit me just fine. The problem with this one is that shooting in automatic mode produces poor images. I was hoping this camera would replace my point and shoot. I was wrong.

    Problems i ran into in full auto mode:

    1. When shooting outdoors colors are very pale (overexposed).

    2. Poor contrast outdoors.

    3. Sharpness is very low.

    Seems if you want good pics you need to go into settings and set every scene individually. Why include full auto mode when it delivers nothing but terrible results? I do not recommend this camera.

    Pics were washed out and underexposed.

    Pics are not sharp enough.

    Additional issues:

    Pics enlarged to full size on computer reveal annoying color cast reminiscent of digital video camera frames tranfered to computer.

    Camera is very heavy.

    Camera takes 2 minutes to process a nigh shot(F priority mode)!!!!! As you wait for it to finish you cannot use the cam at all, all features are frozen.

    The manual is almost useless. Best to play around with it. The preprogammed settings do things you may not like but there is no indication what they are until you are left with a post-processing chore.
