I understand.
I got a D30 a few weeks ago, first DSLR with a CMOS 3.2 MP sensor.
Yes, still does amazing photos with a 100-400mm L MII as long as one does not enlarge to poster size.
Do you still use your D50?


Thanks for your comments. I haven’t use that camera for a long time. I will have to get it out and try it with some high dollar glass. it should be fin.
cheers,
Steve

Beautiful study of an icon! The D50 and that lens was a perfectly capable combo.

Excellent series, Steve, the 6.1 mp camera still does a great job.

I was gifted my first DSLR in 2006 while living in Perth, Australia. The Nikon D50, 6.1 MP, DSLR along with an 18-200mm Nikon lens accompanied us around the world (a couple of times). Yesterday, while looking at some photos from 2011, I was amazed at the quality of photos taken with this little camera. From 2006 to 2012 this camera and lens went everywhere with us.

Attached are some photos of the Eifel Tower from one of our trips to Paris, I ran them through Light Room to clean them up a bit but no real changes. All hand held with unreal detail.

In early 2012 I moved up a bit to a Nikon D800, then in 2017 I ordered the D850. Now, with literally thousands of dollars in lenses and another camera (Nikon D5), I am working hard to get better photos than the ones I took with the D50 and a zoom lens. Hoping I can make it.

Isn't it fun to look back on your journey!

I have a Nikon D40 DSLR camera that I purchased around 2008. Like yours, my D40 is also a 6.1 MP camera that takes wonderful photos. Are they the same camera? The pictures you included are great. Thanks for sharing them.

The D40 came out a year and a half after the D50. It is the same sensor, lighter weight, with a larger LCD screen. It also cost $250 less than the D50. The important parts, the sensor and resolution are the same.
