Nikon’s D50 Goes on Tour – Fans Swoon

By

Have you had a chance yet to check out Nikon’s D50 digital SLR? If not, you may get a chance to win one as you test it out in one of 11 cities the camera company is touring over the next two months in its D50 Digital Experience tour.

Kicking off today in St. Louis, Missouri, the tour will run through Nov. 5 with stops in Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, New York and Washington D.C. Each stop, tied to a local event, fair or festival, will consist of large photo displays and plasma screens which offer tips and tutorials, while interactive displays will offer detailed product features and information. The tour will also feature a “mock photo shoot” studio along with the latest Epson inkjet printers, so attendees can shoot pictures and print samples from the D50 on the spot.

Within each city, Nikon will also give away a brand new D50 digital SLR camera with an 18-55mm Zoom-Nikkor lens, valued at $799.95. Those who enter the contest onsite or online, Nikon said, will also be entered to win one national prize: a photo-trek for two to Sweden with American PHOTO magazine and world renowned photographers and Nikon mentors, Joe McNally and Reed Hoffman.

Nikon Z 50 vs. Canon EOS M6 Mark II: Nikon’s newest takes on Canon’s champ
Canon EOS M6 Mark II

Just a year ago, choosing whether to buy a Canon or a Nikon crop-sensor mirrorless camera was an easy decision -- Canon was the only choice. That's changed with the introduction of the Nikon Z 50. A scaled-down version of Nikon's full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Z 50 mixes features from the high-end Z 6 and Z 7 with perks of a crop-sensor DSLR like the Nikon D7500.

But that "Mark II" in the Canon EOS M6 Mark II says a lot. This isn't Canon's first attempt at an APS-C mirrorless camera (it makes quite a few models in the EOS M line beyond the M6, as well). Boasting a 32-megapixel sensor and a compact body, the M6 II makes improvements where Nikon is only just getting started.
