Nikon D50 Digital SLR launched

After the success of the D70 model, Nikon is going after the lower segment of the market with its Nikon D50 Digital SLR camera. It is a 6.1 Megapixel camera that is smaller and lighter than the D70. Nikon has also simplified a bit the controls to make it easier for non-experts to use it.

Many companies are developing their SLR line of products because the margins are so much higher, thanks to a less competitive market, compared to the compact digital cameras. These SLR cameras are really much better than compact ones, that have the same Megapixel count. Press Release.
