    I started with the d50 10 years ago when it was already old. Then I changed to d3300 and eventually got the d500 but I'm super nostalgic when I review my old d50 shots. There is something special about the colours.

      Old CCD Sensors are lovely, that's why i still shoot them. Still have my D100, D70s & D40, bought all back into its heyday. Nowadays, don't want to lug heavier FF gear, always.

    This video is a prove that Street Photography can be done with any camera
    So to all of you out there
    Buy cheap and get golden results
    Thank you for this amazing POV
    It will be nice if you can do a black and white POV using this camera
    Try it out because these old sensors have their own magic when there is enough sun light
    Happy new year mate …

    This old camera is awesome, love the feel and ergonomics. The colors are vivid and punchy. Yes the 2gb card capacity is limiting but i can still get cards. The viewfinder is 2" but at 6mp its a sleeper and i preferr it over my d7000 as a my street camera and go to carry along.

      A D-50 tip worth knowing: I have been able to use a 4gb SD (non-HC) by formatting it in a computer (FAT-32) rather than in camera. Not all 4 GB SD cards work but the cheapest Kingston's have been successful.

    I love that you're giving people a chance to get into photography with giveaways like this. Regarding the lense, do you guys think its worth to add to a prime collection? (a 50 and an 85 1.8, I also own the holy trinity 2.8 but the 1.8 is sick)

    • @sanjaythapa2039

      If you have 35mm, getting 85 would be better as 50mm wont make a huge difference at all. In my personal experience.

    I LOVE this! It’s very fun to see an old camera like this being used like you use your modern Sony cameras! Btw, did you notice any difference in the CCD sensor compared to the cmos sensors you’re used to? I’ve heard people say they love how CCD sensors look.
    Happy new year!

    • @JasonLawrenceNoel

    • @C.I...
      @C.I... 11 місяців тому +1

      I find the strength is that if there is noise, it doesn't look terrible - you can just let it be noisy instead of having to avoid pushing the shadows as much. With my Sony A100, the amount I could pull from the shadows (at ISO 100, which I think is the native ISO; It's really hard to find info about the native ISO of stills cameras for some reason) was pretty amazing. There were no weird colour shifts when doing so either. My main issue was my failing to get the camera to ETTR - it really insists on overexposing, and that's a big problem when there is no live view.
      Since the older sensor isn't as sensitive, the noise (though pleasing) will appear earlier.

    • @marcp.1752
      @marcp.1752 3 місяці тому

      Nowadays, lenses do have less character, everything's being optimized for sharpness - less character, imperfections, and mostly flat rendering - which is boring as hell. But these nowadays old Sensor DSLRs do deliver, still. And it's exactly the same fun - as bought into it's heyday. APS-C/DX is worlds being bigger, than any smartphone Sensor, seriously. And whileas the pixel pitch is low, usually 6-10 MP, it does really shine, from tonality & rendition.

    I bought a D50 just last week. I teally don't know if something's wrong with it or if I am doing it wrong, but the pictures are worse than a simple picture with my phone, and on top of that, when I put it on manual, it doesn't take pictures. I can only take pictures in auto-mode.

    The d50 retains the autofocus motor ditched on later models so autofocus is likely to work on f mount lenses that lack an internal autofocus motor.

      Не забудьте поискать поблизости Гелиос 44 2.8 (58мм) версии МС (это реплика цейс биотар) с переходником - подходит для портретов и вдумчивой съемки. Либо оригинальный старый никон 28мм, либо их быстрый 50мм 1,8 Джи. А 18-135 в комплекте с д80 не имел стабилизации, был медленным и тяжелым, его можно заменить тамроном 17-50 - иногда они шли с VC стабилизацией в названии

    I loved the video with the Nikon D50 and the 35mm has me wondering if I should buy a 35 myself.
    Love the idea of having a cheaper camera. As a starting photographer, I always get those moments where I'm just going along with my day, see something and go: "Man, I wish I had my camera on me, this would be such a cool shot!" But I'm too scared to carry my more expensive camera around everywhere and every day. I try with my phone but it never gets it as a camera sensor would, so I really think having a cheaper camera that I could take everywhere and not worry about it so much like that NIKON D50 would come in so handy to capture all those moments.

    I am 16 years old in the UK doing street and motorsport photography with my canon 450d. The nikon d50 would help in the next step and learning a better and newer camera than what I have now. Because of my age people think that it's weird but I don't think so :) Many thanks

    Hi!
    I have thought about getting into photography for a few years now, and now it seems like my mental health could really benefit from the mindfulness of taking photos. So I’ve been hyper scanning the internet trying to find out what camera I can afford (with decent quality)
    I appreciate this video and I’ve subscribed regardless, I’d really appreciate and make use of the camera if you were to choose me.
    I made an account for photography @koolpiix
    Kind regards✌️
