"Yep, it's a great camera.
If you use sites http://froogle.google.com to compare prices, beware of the store's reliability rating. The going price for the D50 body is $550. If you find prices that are a lot cheaper, beware of scams!
Popular scams are to advertise the camera dirt cheap, but then sell the battery and all the other stuff that *should* be included with the camera seperately. Another scam is to take your oder and your money but then claim that the item is out of stock... indefenately... perhaps you'd like to upgrade?? (good luck getting a refund.)
I personally like to order from B&H, Beach Camera, and Ritz Camera. They're reliable, they have good prices, won't give you a hastle if you need to retun anything, and they have a good selection of gear if you want anything else.
If you can spare the cash, look at the Nikon 18-70mm lens. It's more expensive than the 18-55mm kit lens, but for the extra price you get a bit more zoom range, and much better image quality. Then add a 1 or 2 GB SD memory card (I like the Sandisk Extreme lll) and you're set!"
