Nikon D50 and D70s announced

Good news to all Nikon shooters who are searching for less expensive way into going digital. Nikon has finally officially announced it's new six megapixel D50 which will set you back around $899 when purchased together with kit-lens. There's also update to rater popular D70, the new D70s but improvements are not very extensive. I'd say that overall Canon is one step ahead with it's camera bodys (but certainly not with it's kit lenses). Check out dpreview.com for more info.

Nikon has today announced their new affordable and easier to use D50 digital SLR. The D50 has the appearance and control layout of the D70, the major physical differences are size, weight and control layout. Under the skin the D50 has the same six megapixel CCD sensor as the D70 (and the D70s announced today). The D50 will be available in black and silver bodies and as a kit with the new AF-S DX 18-55 mm lens. The D50 Kit (including the 18-55 mm lens) will cost around US$899 when it's available in June.
