Side by Side Comparison of: Nikon vs Canon

I don't know why this is considered a beginners DSLR -- sure it has a few less features, but it is capable of wonderful results with a minimum of work. I wish I had bought this first instead of the Olympus E510 I used to own. The D50 simply gets the job done! I bought the camera used but in good shape. I use the 70-300mm VR zoom lens with it and get great results. The images come out true to life with few anomolies or distortions. The shutter release is positive and professional feeling. Focus is accurate and fast (of course the lens is important here). The D50 fills an important gap between old world DSLR and modern: It has an iternal focus motor so older style lenses work perfectly. It uses an SD card instead of the clunky old CF. And while the D70 is considered more professional, the D50 corrects for sensor anomilies the D70 doesn't.Some things you may want consider: The LCD is only 2", compared to 2.5" on most newer models. It is somewhat slower in processing, formating, direct downloads, etc. The number of sensor pixels is low (6.1MP) compared with newer models (8-10MP). The viewfinder doesn't see the entire frame. However, the viewfinder is bright enough for manual focusing, and a green light indicates optimum focus in the viewfinder when manual focusing. The lowest ISO is 200 (instead of 100 on most models). However, noise at higher ISOs is low compared with many cameras, and I regularly use 400 and even 800.The D50 feels solid! I can't imagine a better feeling body. Compared with pro models it is a bit smaller, however it is full-sized and fits any hand well. With a good lens it's hard to imagine anyone being disapointed with this camera. Even with the many features newer cameras offer, none will produce better pictures (bigger, but not better).

If you use a Nikon autofocus SLR film camera and do not want to spend the "big bucks" on a DSLR that will accept your present lenses then this is the camera for you. Regretably Nikon is no longer manufacturing this camera and has replaced the D50 with the D40. Although the D40 will accept certain older autofocus lenses (G and D type), it will not autofocus them. The D50 will autofocus them. All of the D50s will eventually be all second-hand or refurbished, but I would not let that stop me from buying one (for mine is refurbished).The beauty of this camera is that it operates almost exactly like my Nikon N65. The learning curve is very small. And even though it is only 6.1 megapixels (while so many are moving to the 10MP route) the standard prints I get are sharp and crisp. As one camera salesman and expert told me, it is not always the megapixels that make a good picture, it is also the lense. And again, I found the 18-55mm lense that came with it to live up to the Nikkor lense reputation. The other beauty of this camera is that you can correct your mistakes right away, with the instant preview on the LCD. Film cameras do not have that luxury. But the disadvantage is that the picture angle is not equal to a film camera. I can get a wider angle of view with my N65, so I will continue to shoot film under certain circumstances. But other than that the D50 is a great camera!

Let me say first off, that I am an avid amateur when it comes to photography, and I love taking pictures. I was always a fan of digital as I am an impatient soul who needs immediate results, and digital offers that. I previously owned many different point and shoot digitals and have been pretty happy with them. My latest Kodak V550 was a joy to use and very compact with excellent picture results.However, that has all changed for me now. My main reason for getting into DSLR is that I have recently dicovered Stereoscopy, or 3D photography, and I was looking for a convenient way to accomplish this.I discovered the Loreo 3D Lens in a Cap system for Digital SLR cameras and decided this might be the way to go. In researchibg different models, I came accross the D50 and read tons of reviews for this camera which pretty much sold me. I purchased the camera with the 28-105mm AF D lens. Since my main object was to be 3D, I didn't really care what lens came with the camera, but this is a great lens. I also purchased a spare larger capacity battery (EN-EL3e) and a 2GB SD high speed card. I am GLAD I bought this kit. I was also fortunate that the standard battery that came with my camera was NOT part of the recall.This is my first venture into SLR and it was a bit daunting at first, but I love to read manuals. I've read the manual from front to back several times over learning the ins and outs of this camera.Since the 3D lens only operates in manual mode, I had a lot to learn. For regular photography, I basically use the auto settings and the photos taken with this camera are a HUGE improvement over anything I have ever used before. I use the LARGE Hi Quality JPEG files, and can get about 917 shots on the 2GB card. With 2GB, I can get over 5,000 standard size/quality shots, but I haven't used this setting yet.I usually print 4 x 6 photos, so this setting might be overkill, but I am ready for larger prints if the need arises. I also love the fact that you can copy any photo in the camera to an email friendly size - which saves the step of doing this manually on the computer.When using the regular AF lens attachment, there's not much to do. It's basically point and shoot, but may require some modifications for certain settings. On full auto mode, I have not been disappointed yet. I've had the camera for about a week and have already taken well over 1,000 photos, mostly in 3D. While the 3D lens has it's limitations and is somewhat of a disappointment, I can't blame that on this camera.There are lots of menu options, which I learned pretty quickly. Menu navigation and camera settings are easy once you learn where everything is. The most important settings ISO/shutter speed/white balance, etc can be accomplished with the buttons on back of the camera. And the buttons serve different functions depending on whether you are in shooting mode or viewing mode. The buttons are clearly labeled as to their purpose. In shooting mode, just hold a button and turn the multi-setting dial to make adjustments on the fly without even looking at a menu. I also like the fact that there is an LCD panel on top that shows all camera settings at all times - no need for the LCD monitor to view settings. This is huge power saving option. I suspect, however, this would be standard on all SLR cameras.I was very surprised at the price for this camera considering the quality of the photos, and range of settings available. This was the perfect choice for me, and I am THORUGHLY pleased! I'm also having fun learning about the various functions.Battery life is very good, even when the camera is left on. I have not yet ordered the power supply, but I've had the camera ON for several hours at a time and it has not died yet. Once the weather gets warmer and I can go out and about, the supplied battery and the larger capacity battery will be fine for me. The charge cycle is pretty swift as well.There's only 2 gripes I have with this camera, but only 1 with the camera itself. My apartment is very dusty and changing the lenses is a hazard for me. I know, not the camera's fault - a hazard with any SLR camera, I guess. I am worried about getting dust inside. No matter how many times I clean and vacuum, there's always dust floating around. What's the best way to clean the mirror?The other gripe is with the included software. It is adequate, but you have to pay for software with better features. I prefer the Kodak Easy share software, but that is for a different class of user.I do like the Camera Control software which lets you take photos from the PC when attached, and change the camera settings. I have taken many self-portraits this way, as well as with the self timer. To me, the software is worth the purchase price (however, Olympus cameras I have owned in the past were supplied with this type of software. Not sure if they still do.)My next purchase will be the power supply, a good bag to carry thia all around and the remote, if I can find it. It seems to be out of stock everywhere.I cannot say enough about this camera. This has to be one of the best investments I've ever made in electronic goods. I have a camera that I can use now, and in the future when I perfect my hobby. I would HIGHLY reccomend this camera to anyone who wants quality and an easy mix of ease of use and customization. You will NOT be disappointed. I give this camera a TEN star rating!Now the questions.... Can anyone reccommend the following:1) A good sized bag with lots of room2) A lens case for my 28-105mm lens3) Any place to find the remote (NEW)4) How to keep dust off the mirror and the viewfinder monitor above the mirror, and the best way to clean it5) A good book fro an SLR newbie that fully explains all settings/terms/etc. For me, one of the dummy series might do ;)

I'm a casual photographer and used a Canon AE-1 SLR for years, then for a short time had an auto-focus Pentax SLR. Then I went digital and bought a point-and-shoot Nikon Coolpix 2500 and really enjoyed being able to take a lot of photos and just delete the ones I didn't like. It was fun for awhile, but I began to miss the speed and versatility of an SLR.I started reading product and user reviews about different brands and models of digital SLRs, including the Canon Rebel, and narrowed it down to either the Nikon D70 or D50. The D70 has a few more 'bells and whistles' but, for me, the differences didn't justify the extra cost. For instance, I never used the depth-of-field preview function on my old Canon so I knew I wouldn't miss that. The D50 also doesn't have a backlit LCD screen but I haven't had a problem with that, either.I've used the D50 for a few months now and I couldn't be happier!! The day I got it I unpacked it, attached the lens and started taking photos and they turned out beautifully just using the auto setting. Since then, I've been using different modes, like aperature and shutter priority, and I'm totally blown away by the quality of the photos and what this camera is capable of.I'm very happy with this 18-55mm DX lens. It focuses fast and the photos are very sharp. I wanted a longer lens, too, so I recently ordered the Nikkor 28-200mm G and I'm thrilled with it. Since it's not a "DX" lens, on a digital Nikon it's the equivalent of 42-300mm and I've gotten some great, sharp photos with it.The more I use this camera, the more I love it and I'm having lots of fun with it. There's been a definite learning curve for me because it's capable of so much, but it's also easy to use on the auto setting.Some recommendations...- For the SD card, the SanDisk Ultra II Plus is handier than heck because you just take it out of your camera, fold it and plug it into your computer's USB port - no need for a card reader.- The wireless remote is great to have instead of using the camera's timer.- The Nikon CF-D50 case is very nice and I use it all the time when I take my camera with me.

You will find plenty of detailed reviews of this camera on the net so instead of regurgitating them here I'll detail decision factors that made me choose this camera over the rest. Hopefully this will answer questions you have.(1) Construction quality is good. The camera feels fairly solid despite being made out of plastic. The body is light and is well-balanced.(2) It is bigger than the Canon Rebel XT (or 350D), which to me feels a bit too small. I usually prefer slim over bulky but in this case I feel that the Nikon's proportions are better. I have test-driven the Rebel for a week-end and I would say it's more geared towards smaller hands.(3) The price is right as they say. With the lens kit you barely spend over 600 usd, a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than the competition at the time of this writing. It is unlikely that the premium is worth it, esp. if you're looking into entry-level DSLR. The next thing you'll want to upgrade is the lens (check out the Carl Zeiss lenses)(4) It uses SD cards, which is what most point-and-shoot use (well, some at least). Going for a Compact flash-backed camera (such as the Canon) means spending another 50 usd for memory.(5) Mega-pixel count plays a lesser role in the quality of the pictures than the metering logic of the camera, your ability to compose and the printing proces.

The D50 has all the Nikon quality I've come to expect. Images are excellent, of course. But the thing that most impresses me is how fast this camera is in every way that matters. When you turn it on, it's ready to shoot--no perceptible warm-up. When you press the shutter release, it shoots right then--not half a second later like many digital cameras, which miss critical shots. You can shoot in rapid sequence--no waiting around for it to process the last shot. It focuses fast, too. Spring for the extra money for a high-speed SD card and you'll get screaming transfer times, too.The only complaint I have is the little rubber cover that hides the USB and other ports is a little hard to get smoothly all the way back into place. A pretty minor complaint.An unexpected bonus compared to all the little digital point-and-shoot cameras I've used is the D50 has a 3:2 aspect ratio instead of 4:3. This means you're shooting the same aspect ratio as 35mm film (36mm x 24mm) and it conveniently fits a standard 4x6 print at your local photo processor without any unwanted cropping happening.

I really love this camera. Everything that came with it works perfectly and the photos I've taken are pretty good.

If you already know you want this model of camera then this kit is great deal. It's cheaper than buying the body and lenses separately. If you are new the world of SLR like I am then I think this is a good choice. This is an entry level SLR with "only" 18 megapixels but compared to the point and shoot and smartphone pics I've taken before it's astounding. The auto modes are as easy to use as any point and shoot, but with the aperture and shutter priority modes you gain a lot of creative control without that much difficulty. And of course there's a manual mode to have full control over everything. I use manual mode to take long exposures for astronomy. I also do lot of wildlife photography and the telephoto lens is fantastic for that. After just a few weeks I've gotten compliments on the bird photos I've taken. To really explore all the features this camera has though I highly recommend getting full sized book. The tiny black&white manual that comes with the camera sucks.The accessories in this kit are hit and miss but since the kit is still a good deal without them I can't take a star off- The carrying case is too small, has an awkwardly short shoulder strap, annoying velcro attached partitions, and a zipper has already broke. Throw this out and get something better.- The mini tripod is a good idea in principle. You could set your camera on ledge and get a steady shot without all the hassle of a large tripod. But unfortunately it can't support the weight of the telephoto lens. The tripod will just droop forward as soon as you let go. That's too bad because I need a tripod most often when I'm using the telephoto.- The full size tripod seems a little cheap and wobbly but it gets the job done- The flash is just a slave flash which means the camera can't account for it so you'll have to adjust the exposure manually to compensate for it. The canon also has a built in pop up flash but if you plan to do a lot of flash photography it's probably worth buying a metered flash attachment.- The the wide angle and 2x lenses can be screwed on to the end of your canon lenses to give you some more options but they are pretty darn cheap and poorly effect image quality. I would not use them unless I had to.- The filters are good. I use the polarizing filter a lot when shooting outside and I tend to leave the UV filters on to protect the lenses from the elements.- USB adapter was a great thing to include since most computers don't have an SD card slot.- The included SD cards are fine but I bought a 64gb high speed card because it's only $20- The shutter release cable is a must have when you shoot with a tripod. It also lets you lock the button down for continuous shooting or long exposures.- The screen protector is pointless. It's impossible to apply it the screen without having distracting bubbles in it. But hey lots of people put those stupid things on their phones when the screens are scratch proof as is.I wish the kit came with an extra battery. It's hard to find non counterfeit(dangerous) batteries for a good price. But so far I've never ran out of juice while out shooting for the day.

Awesome camera and bundle for this price, especially with getting two different zoom lenses. The T5 takes spectacular pictures (attached are a few macro shots that I took on the first day we got the camera). We owned the previous model Rebel which used the larger CF card and would have still been using it today except the CF card holder broke internally (known issue), so glad the new T5 uses the smaller SD card instead. All of the accessories were nice except the large tripod, it seems very cheap and fragile so we just put it back in the box and won't be using it. I would highly recommend this camera and bundle to anyone that enjoys taking high quality photos.

First time buying a DSLR camera and I have to say it's very easy to use. Went on YouTube to find out how to use the camera's full functions. Still learning but I have to say I'm very happy with it

****I'm a Film Student so keep that in mind as you read this.This is a really great starter kit. Obviously the camera is really quality and everything that comes with it is great to start you off. Everything arrived really neatly packaged and all the packaging was in great condition (there didn't seem to be any rough handling).The lenses are nice and it's always a good idea to have at least two different lenses to start off with. These two are the most common so it's great to have practice with them.The lens extensions (the wide angle and telephoto lenses) are really nice quality and attach to the lenses really well. The same applies to the filters. Each external lens comes with its own little drawstring bag for protection, and the lenses come with a case.***The camera bag*** is kind of small, but I'm able to comfortably fit everything in this bundle in it. However, I use all of the side pouches, and I wouldn't be able to fit anything else in it. So if you have more lenses or accessories, you'll definitely want a bigger bag. But again, as a starter kit, this bag is made of heavy and durable material and will be able to hold everything you buy with this package.The memory cards aren't very big, only 8 and 16 GB, but it's always nice to have extra SD cards on hand, especially as a cinema student.The tripod isn't the most durable, but again it's always better to have your own tripod, even if it's kind of flimsy and for a starter kit, it's nice enough. However, the tripod bag is made of really thin material, so if you want to protect your tripod, I'd invest in another bag.I haven't had much of a chance to use the flash or the shutter control, but they seem to be kind of cheap. Once again, though, if you look at this as a starter kit, they're nice to be able to practice with.The SD Card reader is also really nice to have, just in case you come across a computer (*cough cough* Apple desktop) that doesn't take SD Cards, you don't have to borrow one from someone else.So overall, this obviously isn't the most professional or highest quality kit you can buy, but if you're just starting out with a DSLR camera and looking for practice, this is a fantastic place to start.

I love my Canon Rebel T5! I am an enthusiast learning and advancing through digital photography. This bundle package was a good choice for me. I have been taking digital photography for over 8 years, but I was using Canon Power Shots and decided this year to make the right choice into DSLR cameras. At first, the amount of functions and buttons scared me a bit, but with a lot of study and practice, my understanding has increased leaps and bounds.Enough about me, about the Rebel T5 bundle package.1) The camera is great. If you are new to DSLRs, you should get this package. I understand that there are other higher end models such as the 7D Mark II, 6D, and 5D Mark III, but unless you are a professional photographer, it can be difficult to justify the extra cost just to have the most expensive camera. First learning how to control shutter speed, aperture, ISO, evaluative metering, lighting, file size types for prints, and white balance all goes a long way towards one's education on digital photography. The 18-55mm and 75-300mm lenses were good addition to the package. Keep in mind, that although these lenses will more than likely blow out the quality of your cell phone and tablet cameras, these lenses are basic models and still fail in comparison to the "Red Ring" lenses.2) The two SD Cards were good, but never used them because I bought a 64GB. My preference3) The Vivitar Flash was subpar, so I bought the 270EX II4) The Remote Control is good add on, just not wireless5) The bag was okay, but too small because of other camera equipment that I now have. I purchased the Canon back pack for $35 and use the bundle bag as extra storage6) The mini tripod was okay until I purchased a battery grip for the T5, let just say that the camera weighs too much7) The Bower Tripod is garbage, it is made out of the cheapest material. In addition, it is very shaky and if you lift the tripod head for vertical shots, the camera will fall over with the tripod. (I caught mines before crashing to the floor) However, I will say that the Bower Tripod actually has good functions, such as the fluid system, long handle and adjustable head for both vertical and horizontal shots, but poor quality. The lens filters are okay, but there should be one whole complete version instead of four different versions. I have lens filters for other lenses, but I not going to keep switching out lens filters for specific purposes. They only fit 55mm diameter such the lenses in your kit only.8) The two Vivitar ‘macro’ lens add on were unnecessary, so I put them away.9) All the other nick knacks were cool to have in case of emergency like Q-Tips and glass fluid.At the end of the day, I absolutely love my Rebel T5! Yes, I could spent a few hundred dollars more for the T5i or 60D, but I thought that enhancements such as Vari Angle LCDs, Digic 5 Processor or Wi-Fi was splitting hairs just to 'show off' that I have the best camera. Despite certain camera snobs out there, the Rebel is a fast, strong, and powerful entry level DSLR camera under $550 dollars. Yes, I will eventually graduate to a higher end model, but I have not have been disappointed with this camera, nor do I feel slighted about not having an ISO of 51,200.I hope you enjoy my review.P.S. If you noticed the 'noise' on my photo attachments, I took the shots with iPad camera since this is only DSLR camera I have for the moment.

Good camera, not too complex, not too simple.

Very high quality camera, I ordered it about a year ago and it still works like a charm. The auto focus setting isn't perfect but for the price it is very worth it. Note that this doesn't come with an sd card or a camera strap.

I bought this camera as an entry level DSLR and it has exceeded all expectations. Very simple to use. Easy to adjust aperture and shutter priority to get the photos you want.

Wow! IF you're looking for a great deal, the D50 just might suit you. 4 stars for the slightly lacking feature set, but I probably wouldn't use them anyways. Get a telephoto lens, some filters (esp. circular polarizers), a good case, another battery, a flash (I'm happy with the SB-600), rechargeable AAs for the flash, and at least 2 gigabytes (read Sandisk Ultra II) and you'll be set for life.You'll probably want a card reader for your computer, too. It's faster than the camera's transfer mode is, doesn't waste battery power, and is WAY faster than the reader built into your laptop.

I ordered this camera from Amazon, got it and started snapping away right off the bat. It's a great camera but when I went to recharge the battery I found that the cord wasn't a domestic US cord. I emailed Amazon, they said call Nikon. I called Nikon and they said it's a grey market camera and they may not be able to support it.They have suggested I send them the cable and they will look into replacing it but made no promises. I know the cable is easy to replace on my own but now I'm worried that if the camera itself has problems down the line Nikon will refuse to support it.

This is my first digital SLR camera and I'm very pleased with it. The photos are terrific, the controls are mostly easy to learn and quick to access. My kit came with a 28-80mm lens instead of the standard 18-55, however. The battery lasts a long time and the screen is bright. Downsides: The LCD panel on top isn't back lit so if it's really dark you won't be able to see it. Also, the buttons you have to press to zoom in on a picture you just shot is kind of cumbersome. Other than that, I've shot over 800 photos with it so far and I'm in camera heaven.

I'''m going to try my best to cover everything that i feel is important. The camera itself ii fabulous! Canon really made a great product. I am just getting back into photography, so this package was perfect. The back up memory cards really come in handy. The only thing is I didn't format them in the begining and had an issue with 1. Now i formatted my currentnone and it is great. The bag is good quilty, but I bought the back pack one for better convience for me. Getting to lenses in this package also has be AMAZING! love having the two! As for alot of the other stuff, I still have to get use to using all of it. My only recommendation is google everything you get to know how to use it if you don't already. Tjenonly reason i gave it 4 was because of the formating of the memory cards.Love my Camera!

So many accessories, so overwhelming. I'm finally easing into learning how to work with this camera after years of point and shoot 35 mm cameras. I work in a museum, have recently started curating, so I needed to record what I've been doing for portfolio material. I am still unsure how I'm supposed to attach the Vivitar lenses, don't know what they attach to, and I don't think I'm going to be using the filters anytime soon, but I suppose I have time to learn. I noticed that Nikon has something like a flash drive that one can plug into their DSLR cameras that acts as a wireless transmitter for uploading. I would really like to see an accessory like that, rather than the smaller tripod and care kits. Gave the camera a workout visiting two museums in a single day and taking nearly 200 photos in the course of the afternoon. So far, so good. Looking forward to learning to play with the apature et al...

Overall a great starter camera and kit. The main things here are the included 300mm zoom, decent camera bag, and of course the kit lens. The kit lens isn't great, but it's effective for casual photography. I would highly recommend getting a "nifty fifty" to compliment this camera.

Some things to keep in mind about the t5: First, it is not high end. It has relatively low resolution. Again, find for starting out. It's also a bit blurry, but not terribly so. Obviously, in this range, both camera and lenses lead to some significant chromatic aberration. Next, it is NOT a good camera for video. It simply does not autofocus while recording. While it's a very minor quibble, unlike higher end models, the t5 does not have an articulating screen, so those low-down shots are going to require you to physically get down low.

The included accessories are mostly sub par. The tripod is very wobbly, and I've yet to risk using the tabletop one. The converters are quite poor quality as well. The flash is okay on a pinch, but it requires full manual and isn't all that powerful. The lens cleaning solution and cloth are useful but you'll want a microfiber cloth to finish the job or it'll get all streaky. The lenses are about what you expect in this price range. The kit lens has a plastic mounting ring and the zoom is fairly low quality, but it's inexpensive. Also, your probably going to want a nice fast class 10 card, somewhere around 64gb.

Altogether a really good starter kit, but bear in mind the limitations of the camera and accessories. Easily worth the price, but don't expect miracles.

Loved the camera! Very easy to navigate and easy to learn!
The whole package was great! Only problem was the camera stand, it broke as soon as I took it out. But other than that, I love the quality of this camera.
Attached are pictures that I took using the camera!

Great setup for beginner's that wanna learn how to take amazing photo's using manual settings. I have to say auto setting pictures leave something to be desired, but when I go into manual mode I can take unbelievable pics. I would say that the zoom lens is so fun to use! For the price you cant beat this setup. 4/5 stars because camera bag is too small to fit all the accessories included.

Well the price was great, but I have to take two pictures each time because one is always underexposed and almost black. If there is a fix for it I'm not aware of it. I'm getting used to taking two pictures.

can't record video

Makes great pictures.

It is coming right now!

I just ordered a Nikon d50 used camera. When I go to insert a memory card it says "You can not use this memory card" can anyone help me? Should I get a new memory card? I am not sure how to contact the seller either

The flash didn't work. This should have been expressly stated. It also didn't come with any battery, which is ok, since it was a "body only" but I was expecting a camera that was testable out of the box... again, I feel that a responsible seller would have expressly stated such things.

I have had this camera for several months now and am shooting in manual. I love the package. The two canon kit lenses are good for learning. I plan to purchase a 50mm lens with a f/1.4 in the next few months. The other two lenses that arrived with the camera are not very useful. My tripod arrived broken, which is disappointing because I would use a tripod a lot in my home studio. I was hoping to make do with the tripod in this package before I invest in lighting and a heavy duty tripod. I don't use the little tripod, so I don't have a lot comment on that product. The little tripod did show up operational .The bag and strap work fantastic. I can fit everything I need to carry besides the tripod in the bag when I go out to shoot landscapes. I got a smaller bag to just carry two lenses when I don't need a lot of gear. I haven't found the external flash in this package to be very useful since it can't rotate. This makes it hard to bounce the flash off of the ceiling and wall and such. Overall I think this is a very good package, especially if you don't want the rotating/touch screen the Canon T5i/T6i has. I would purchase this product again, but made sure my lens auto focused correctly. I would have given this camera package a 5 if I could figure out how to ask for a replacement for the parts that are broken.

camera was fine but the camera bag's zipper was broken. I tried to return it, but the return window had expired.I didn't open it and examine it closely upon delivery until our wedding anniversary three weeks later. the zipper on the camera bag was damaged and wasn't noticed until it's first use. company refused replacement because of the return window was over and suggested I contact the manufacturer which is a real pain. I will end up purchasing a bag from a different company.

Is okay, the battery does not last long at all, and the bag it comes with was cheap for such an expensive camera. My friends Nikon is a few years older and we compared them and I know I should have bought a Nikon, now. There is a difference in quality of picture, I was shocked we both take pictures for a small Co. we all compared and well I will have to say using both I was not impressed and this is Amazon feedback and they warned me it was controlled. If this gets to the public I'll know then.

I though that all the equipment would be canon come to find out that only the 2 lens were canon I was very this appointed even the flash was off brand.You should make sure that people know this be foe they.But I really love the canon.Thank You.

All of the Canon equipment is top notch. The extras are some lenses that are available on amazon for $10.00 The bag is not quite big enough and from the same company as the lenses. Xit, I have not heard of them. A better deal is the $499.00 bundle from Amazon. Save your money, get the smaller bundle for $499.00

I am an amateur photographer, normally shooting with a Canon EOS A2 35mm SLR (remember film?) with a Canon EF 28-200 US lens. I develop my own C-41 negatives and print the photos using a Berkley Omega C760 color enlarger.I recently borrowed a Nikon D50 from a friend for shooting pics of my brand new baby, as I do not have sufficient flash equipment to shoot low-light indoors. The Nikon I borrowed has the two kit lenses, 28-80 & 50-200. The receipt still in my buddy's camera bag shows the retail paid was $1200 for the kit.What I like:- Standard DSLR features.- Nicely sized camera.- Plenty of standard connectors.What I dislike:- AF is finicky and has difficulty about half the time with finding what I am pointing at, under all metering modes, and it is very noisy. Typical Nikon focus issues, from what I understand.- The viewfinder is tiny! I mean, what is this? I've had better point and shoot viewfinders than this little thing.- In full manual mode, the shutter speed is adjusted by depressing the trigger button to the first stop (for auto focusing), and using the click wheel. This is great, but who designed this feature? There is a learning curve here to avoid shooting the photo before you have the SS adjusted. Horrible idea, Nikon.- The viewing screen is small, essentially only allowing for a framing check. The screen is too small to check subtle nuances in lighting, color, contrast, etc. The purpose of shooting digital is to be able to assess the photo immediately after it is shot; this camera fails that fundamental criterion.- The menu is difficult to navigate through. The screens are not very intuitive, it takes searching to figure out how to adjust basic settings like type of lighting.- The focus ring on the kit lenses are not smooth at all. Exact focus is difficult because it takes relatively considerable effort to move the ring. I understand this is just a kit lens, but why bother having a manual focus ring if it works like complete crap?- The battery pack is charged with an external charger. This is a pain, and it requires me to have more clutter laying around my house.Overall impression:I understand that better models are now available from Nikon, possibly with fixes to many of my listed complaints, but I am comparing the D50 to my Canon film SLR from the 90s. When I shoot with both during photo outings, I am very impressed by the Canon, and consequently very unimpressed with the D50. I would pay maybe $50 for a used body if I were in the market. I wouldn't touch the kit lenses for free. My Canon is snappy, quite, ergonomic, and knows 9/10 of the time exactly why I am focusing on, even when using the focus range setting. The D50 is sluggish, noisy, comes with crap kit lenses, uses way too much power, has non-intuitive menu prompts, and is currently left behind by current point and shoot digitals. Basically it's a sorry excuse for even an entry level DSLR, but makes an outstanding paper weight for my immunology homework.

I bought the d50 a few days before Christmas and started shooting immediately and am moderately pleased with it. After reading over 100 of the reviews, I believe now my camera might be faulty. In some of the preset modes the button is not reactive as it should be b/c there's about a 3/4 to 1 second delay...and only occasionally.MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT is about the built-in flash......it fires off but in the picture doesn't show any trace of a flash. The flash is firing 100% of the time (I think) it's supposed to. About 60% of the time, the picture that is taken when the flash is firing shows zero indication that there was even a flash involved. I have checked all of the settings, done both a hard reset (twice) and several soft resets to no avail. I know about the different flash settings for slow and rear and curtains and such but all settings I try do not change anything. This "phenomena" is not confined to one or two settings; this problem occurs on every auto setting a flash can fire in. I think it might be a timing problem internally somehow.I think if I can get these two problems squared away, I will definitely be one of the over 100 satisfied owners of the D50.Feel free to comment if you think there is something I can try to fix these problems.

Our pics taken with this camera on the first sunny days of the spring turned out very washed out and flat. They were so underexposed that later software modification on the computer could not entirely bring them to acceptable contrast. Pictures were not sharp enough. Enlarging pics to full size on the computer revealed annoying color casts similar to those seen on frames transfered from digital video tapes. camera is very heavy, not convenient for lengthy hiking trips. battery life is good though. all in all we are very dissapointed with nikon d50.

Pictures taken with this camera on the first sunny days of spring produced very disspointing results:Pics were washed out and underexposed.Pics are not sharp enough.Additional issues:Pics enlarged to full size on computer reveal annoying color cast reminiscent of digital video camera frames tranfered to computer.Camera is very heavy.Camera takes 2 minutes to process a nigh shot(F priority mode)!!!!! As you wait for it to finish you cannot use the cam at all, all features are frozen.

Good camera but all the pictures i take have a black speck in the picture. tried different lens's but didn't work

I would not recommend this to anyone because of few reasons.

1. Camera, better save some money and get the Canon T5i which is tremendously better than T5 with just 100 extra dollars. MOre details here: [...] (In fact, the bundle has things which you don't need therefore, its questionable whether you need a bundle at all or not.)
2.Tripod - The tripod is not durable at all and has one of the lowest quality possible, period.
3. Filters - They are just waste of money.
4. The camera bag - It doesn't have a zipper, therefore it is not water protected at all. Almost wasted my camera because of that.
5. Hi-Speed SD USB Card Reader - Low quality, messed up my 128GB sd card within a month.
6. Super wide angle and 2X telephoto lense addons - They just give a weird vignetting to the pictures, you can basically see the lens borders which just mustn't happen.
7. Flash - Not necessarily needed (Up to you) since T5 has its own.

This camera took great pictures at first but then pictures started getting fuzzy and now the camera won't display an image through the view finder or the screen. Not sure what the problem is..

The focus was horrible with either lens. Couldn't get good pictures of eagles in flight or anything at a distance. The zoom is terrible

The camera case was small - barely holds the camera with lens attached. So now I have to find one that holds all accessories. Other accessories were not all Canon accessories. I just came from intense 2 day camera course and found out that the tripod that came with the kit would not support my camera, as too lightweight legs to hold the weight of camera with a lens on - and if it tipped over the lens or camera would be damaged. The EF 75-300 mm lens is only good to be used outside, and the 2.2X HD lens can only be used for specific items; filters are useless if you have all the ISO, AP and shutter speed correct. The short 18-55 mm lens is the cheapest and should have a hood to keep light off the lens. The flash is a stationary one so cannot be moved to other angles, again not what should be used with this camera. So I was extremely disappointed to find out that my kit was not as great as I thought (as an inexperienced photographer), and most items useless to me.

It did not work. It would not read any current type of memory card.

I'm not happy with this purchase. I had high expectations because it has raving good reviews here and on other sites.

Got it fixed minor glitch

this camera stopped working after a month of using it, after i paid more than 100 dollars. I am so disappointed

IT HAD PINK IN MY PICTURES WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE THEM BUT THEY DID RESOLVE MY ISSSUE ANG GAVE ME MY MONEY BACK

The seller sold me a lemon camera; it stopped working after one use and when I brought it to a repair shop, I was told the aperture mechanism was broken and it would cost more than I paid for the camera to fix it. They told me that it does not break overnight, and I was sold a camera with a loose mechanism that broke after it entered my care. I also purchased a Nikon lens to go with it; I was sent a quantaray lens instead. It's a wonderful camera from what I was able to see but unfortunately I have not been able to use it at all.

This camera model from Canon does not have the Driver capability to support the use of a remote to control the recording function of the camera. This product also came with a remote. I was very disappointed, after researching, that this model doesn't even support taking pictures with the remote. My biggest question is... Why sell a camera with a remote if the camera doesn't support the capability?

Started off on a bad note. No tripod in the box and no screen protectors. Issued a refund for missing items. I now have to run around my city looking for a tripod.

Tripod broken upon delivery. Photos4less will not respond to emails.

they send a macro lens and wide angle lens that DO NO AND WILL NEVER FIT THE Rebel T5😡👎🏿they are putting in cheap crap that doesn't work and letting you think you got a good deal! never buy anything from Amazon sold by a second or third party!

Camera does not work properly, unable to get a replacement from seller – so don’t really have an opinion on how it works. Camera bag smells really bad, and all the accessories were not worth it – very cheaply made it seems. Very disappointed.
