Nikon D 50
Mar 19, 2018 23:02:35 #
My first, and so far, only DSLR is a Nikon D50 which I bought myself as a retirement present in 2006. At the time, I thought it was amazing, having only previously owned a film Nikon SLR and poor quality point and shoot digitals. I now know it is basically obsolete. It cannot use an SD card with a capacity larger than 2 GB, which was then huge. My question is whether it has any value other than its ongoing utility to me. If I should wish to sell it, what could I reasonably expect to get for it?

Unfortunately, like most of us photographers, it has more sentimental value than monetary value.

Recent eBay completed sales have been in the $30 to $50 range for D50 body only.

Nothing wrong with the 6MP D50....I have one and it serves me well or would if I bothered to take pictures !
I also like my Canon SX50 which is one hell of a little bridge camera !
I wouldn't get rid of it if I were you!

I keep mine in my car. Always have a camera with me. It still takes good and sometimes great pictures. I did several 16X20's with it and they are on the walls of our house. I also have others done with my D90 and D7100. No one has noticed the difference. I a pixel peeper came in and looked at them at 10" and not back where he could see the whole picture I'm sure he could point out the noise. - Dave

Thanks to all who replied. Your comments are confirming both as to resale value, i.e. not much and as to whether I should keep it. I will. I still like it although I use my Sony Cyber Shot more often because it is easier to carry.

In the owner's manual they have a list of the memory cards the camera was tested with. Back then, 2GB maybe have been the largest capacity card made. You can probably use cards with a higher capacity. I've done that with my D7000.
If you plan on purchasing another camera and you like infrared photography, you could have it converted to IR.
