Looking for a Digital Camera for your Small Business? The D50 is the Camera for you

Small Business Computing has a great article on why a small business would be smart to look at Nikon’s D50 D-SLR camera. This 6 megapixel camera allows one to use different lens to capture what you need, and the quality of the images is beyond compare.

From Small Business Computing:

Sharper Images Choosing the D50 over competing D-SLRs comes down ultimately to personal preference and business need. However, D50 is very slightly bigger and heavier than is its main rival, Canon’s hugely popular Digital Rebel XT, but it’s easier to hold and feels better balanced and more solidly built. Although the Rebel has a higher-resolution, 8 megapixel sensor, the D50’s sensor is bigger and, to our eyes, produces cleaner, clearer images.

An SLR’s through-the-lens optical viewfinder, a system of mirrors and/or prisms, lets you clearly see exactly what the camera sees. Many point-and-shoot cameras feature an optical viewfinder, but it’s often small and shows a slightly offset view, which can sometimes result in badly framed pictures, especially when shooting close-ups. The LCD on the back of most point-and-shoots does show you the view through the lens, but the image washes out in bright sunlight, making it difficult to see.

Adjustable Lenses
The advantage of interchangeable lenses may not be important to everyone, but it’s a great feature for some small businesses. The kit lens on the D50 may be perfectly adequate for most kinds of shooting, but if you need to do extreme close-ups of small items, you can remove the kit lens temporarily and replace it with an optional close-up (macro) or telephoto lens. Or if you need to shoot home interiors for a real estate Web site, you could install a lens that provides a wider angle of view than the kit lens.
