i've used it for 2.5years. converted to D90 just for last trip. keeping D50 as backup camera. it is probably difficult to sell anyway, looking at the number of my trips put online, but the finish is as good as new - that's the good thing about nikon bodies.
well, it was my first DSLR as well. i suppose it is of sentimental reason for many, the similar may be seen for other brands and models, but D50 have been well built, light and fairly capable.
my switch to D90 basically sees little changes. i dun seem to benefit at all from more AF markers or higher MP, and once again i have to adapt to the new metering and exposure compensation (moreover have to find solution for D90 NEF), but certain things are significant improvement.
- better ISO at 800-1600 makes indoor shooting more at ease
- larger viewfinder definitely makes a difference.
- dust removal may be helpful but not a major concern.
i probably need another year to know D90 better and to realise its virtue. but i still can use D50 with comfort, though the smaller viewfinder is something hard to look back on...
2nd hand D50/70s and 50mm f/1.8 AF-D are something i will definitely recommend to those with a very very tight budget, and add on a wide angle and that will cover my basics.
