Nikon strikes back | |
||
 Aimee Baldridge, senior editor |
Since Nikon's flagship consumer digital SLR, the D70, appeared in early 2004, the affordable dSLR market has grown. The company's main rival has also captured the attention of photo enthusiasts with its recent introduction of the Canon Digital Rebel XT. But Nikon isn't going to take it lying down. Not only has the company souped up the D70 as the new D70s, but it's come out with an even more affordable and accessible model, the D50. Get the details on these new dSLR contenders in our First Takes.

| Review summary | Small improvements fine-tune one of the best digital SLRs in the sub-$1,000 class. | Performance and features that rival those of more expensive digital SLR cameras make the 6-megapixel Nikon D50 one of the best entry-level options. |
