*CCD Sensor History;
The CCD was invented in 1969 at Bell Labs by Willard Boyle and George Smith. Since that CCD was sensitive to light it was used as image sensor for video and TV cameras. It could also be used as a memory device or analogue signal delay since it's principally a kind of analogue shift-register circuit.
It's not the camera that makes a great photo, it's the photographer that TAKES a great photo.

The following is a Rebecca West Quote.
"Any authentic work of art, must start an argument, between the artist and his audience."
Must Read
"Photographic art overlaps with the landscape, portraiture, and other photography types. It is defined by the artist's vision and approach to get distinct photographs. Unlike other forms of photography, fine art photography is about capturing what the artist sees instead of what the camera sees. It is just another tool for artists to produce their art."
(Quote from N.F. I. The Nashville Film Institute)

Street photography is to isolate and capture moments which might otherwise go unnoticed. (Britanica)
People have an emotional response to images,
fine art photography, also known as “photography art,” or “artistic photography” is photographic artwork created in line with the artist's vision. Fine artists use photography as their chosen medium for creative expression.

Always a joy watching your videos!
Thank you.
There it is; the Nikon D50! Produces absolutely gorgeous pictures, and my first experience with the early Digtial Nikon. I was stunned this "old tech" camera could produce pics equal to newer, more sophisticated cameras.
Nikon knows Photography :)
Best TH-cam channel for photography. Especially ppl thrifting digital cameras with film like quality. Thank you Carmine.
My pleasure!
Nikon CCD is the reason I never got rid of my D100 and D200 bodies. Now you got me thinking of picking up one of these or the D80 for a light weigh everyday carry along.
Great tips on the light mods.
I had a nikon f100 early 2000s, the cost of the nikon dslr where prohibitive for me at the time. I bought one recently for not a lot, fully checked and under a 6 month warranty. It will take my lenses and i’ll still be able to use the autofocus from back in the day, ideal for me
Have been doing photography for years and just learned a bunch about photography in such a simple, straightforward way. Thank you! Liked and subscribed.
Great to hear!
My first digital camera and it saved me when shooting a wedding/reception in a hall with black walls and mirrors. No glare, no sweat. It also takes my manual Nikon lenses. I still use it for personal use. Good tools always make pictures easier to take.
Yes indeed..The Nikon D50 is very special :)
can I get film like images with the d50? I see it online for a total of $71 on mpb. And was thinking of getting a 50 1.8 ai-s lens to go with it. Lmk whatcha think? Overall total cost would be $170 (separate purchases) but the body for $71 includes battery, battery charger, 6 month warranty, 2 year protection for $10 @@CarmineTavernaPhotography
@@tylerfields2368 yes, go for it 👏 🙌
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography should I get the Nikon Nikkor af 50mm 1.8d from 2002 or the vintage Nikon AI/ai-s 50 1.8 lens? Truly want a all manual no electronic lens for the d50 but idk if you feel it'll work with it well.
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography if I got a Nikkor AI or Ai-s, most average $70-100, whats best I should pay for? They all appear fine, some sellers say untested, others say well functional. Go for ones sold from Japan?
I have an update on using these older ccd cameras. I took a test shot at ISO 1600 with the D50. I processed the raw file in a trial version of the latest DXO Pure Raw software. To say I was stunned might be an understatement. Zero noise and amazing pixel sharpness without an over processed or waxy look. Several more shots of a colorful local filling station at lower ISO’s were even more impressive. I don’t work for DXO but I am planning on purchasing this software when my trial ends. Never did I think I could get such clarity and quality from an 18 year old digital camera.
Thank you for another great video. I'll have to dig out my D50 now
Thank you for the video and the respect you have for the D50 . I have a silver D50 and it is my baby
Your very welcome
Review Nikon D50 was $1,000 now $30 CCD Film Like Sensor + Nikkor 55mm f2.8 Micro Lens
Love CCD APS-C cameras my Pentax *istDL from 2005 and my Pentax K100D from 2006 I bought both new gave one to my son and he gave it back to me I did a firmware update and can use SDHC memory cards in the cameras plus with K mount the lenses are work from the new to the M42 screw mount with a adapter
I've got the body with a Nikon 50mm f1.8 G.... The body cost me £20. Lens was new at £90.
I've always wondered why the images are so deep in colour and so film like... it feels good and shoots good for a 19-year-old camera. I was going to buy a new camera. But now I'm going to dig it out and give it another go. Thanks.
Great tip about the handheld LED! Definitely going to start carrying one. I think my bike headlamp will do the trick nicely!
Definitely!
I have a Nikon D3000 and last year I bought two D50s, because I wanted the lenses for my D3000. I tried the D50 and must say it realy a great camera. The 6MP are enough for most pictures.
Thank you for the tip with the popup defuser :-).
With greetings from lower Bavaria.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video. I was going through old photo folders on my lap top recently and found some from my Kodak 4mp from 2003. I could not believe how vibrant the colours were. I was amazed how good they were so I have ordered a D50 for £35 .
i am using mines with nikkor 60mm micro f2.8d, my d50 has just under 16,000 clicks and still running strong. 👍✌
Awesome 👌 The Nikon D50 is a wonderful artistic tool.
So So glad you like this camera I have just bought a full kit second hand without any research "how stupid is that"
but it looked good and there is a lot of kit with it ie extra lenses charger batt filters bag sim card education disc books how to operate etc etc I now intend to try to learn how to firstly use it and then how to take good photos !!
Wish me luck !!
amazing video sir! thank you
Glad you liked it!
Took my d50 & d70 out a few months back & forgot what great pics you can get with ccd & 6 mp. New sub here.
Thanks for the sub!
Love my d50
Well I have my new $49 D50 cleaned up like new and running. I did have to wait for some small 2gb cards as it won’t work with anything bigger. A Sigma 24 mm 2.8 I had hanging around makes a great compact 35mm equiv. Perfect for my style of general shooting.
BTW using latest tech the file enlarge quite nicely 4000 on the long end with no noticeable degradation. Appreciate your efforts here Carmine.
You really got a great deal on your D50..The prices are averaging $99 now...thank you for subscribing :)
Was great, i own Nikon D50 too, and i am amazed by ccd sensor !
Nikon D50 is truly a great affordable camera with the finest CCD FILM LIKE SENSOR.
Best camera ever made
Your videos rock!
Thanks so much 🙏
Truly amazing. Sir, you made a great video out of a oldie camera
Glad you liked it!
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography sure. I watch many sharing video, but this video really stands out for this combination:
- the tone of an artist
- sharing of practical user who goes for effective bang for the buck
- not just a review but also some teaching points, making it good for anyone not just those who search for a specific brand
Hi Carmine
Would there be a reason why you chose the Ulanzi light over the pop up flash with the diffuser to shoot the close up? Or was it you were wanting to back light the subject?
Best wishes
Duane
Hello and thank you for watching my channel..I use Ulanzi lights for still life photography and pop up diffuser flash for portraits..generally
Thankyou Carmine keep it coming I have learnt so much.Would make a Request though.Would like to see your two furry babies again
Of course..my yorkies love youtube ❤️
Thanks for the great info ! I liked you walked through it 👍🏻 . Im in between getting a Pentax K10d or a Nikon D50 , what would you recommend?
I would pick the Nikon D50...I love mine
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography thanks !
Hello carmine I just stumbled onto your vids and I can tell by your sparkle in your eyes that you know your stuff. I watched some of your vids now and I wanted to know if I can use nikon lenses from old school SLR film cameras on that camera body? I also have Canon SLR bodies and glass too can I do the same with those lenses with Canon DSLR bodies if I get one? Great teaching vids
Sure, older F mount Nikon Glass will work, in Manual focus and Manual aperture..
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography thank you for responding I'll have to try that when I finally look for one online
Thanks for your replies that is and was kind of you. Could I ask one more question please re the d50 You say you should only use a 2G.B. card and you use a Vivitar so my question is does it have to be a vivitar or will any card as long as its a 2 G.B. be ok if it fits the D50 ???? thanks in anticipation ?? Allan.
Use any 2GB SD card..I like SanDisk
Whats a good all around lense for this camera? I got one for $26 but no lens. Im new to photography as well. Thanks
Nikon AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D Lens
Hello carmine , what can you tell me about a Pentax k20d ? Thanks !
Great Pentax camera, read this; www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxk20d
Hi, will a Tamron AF 70-300mm 4/5.6 lens work on Nikon D50? Thanks.
Good question, let me research that for a second :)
I am devastated Carmine my D 90s shutter failed during a family event shoot. I thought about trying to fix it myself but looked frightening in videos I watched. Found a shop to fix it with new parts and they said will clean and do any adjustments.I know I could get a used one for less but could be back in same boat. Seems like the shutter gear failed after doing some research. I have other cameras and a z 50 but the 90 is my baby. Do you think 167.00 is a fair price?Thank you Carmine
Is it a fair repair price yes, however I would buy 5 used Nikon D50 bodies for $167.
I purchased a beautiful silver D 5O from Japan and love it in every way.Found that lense in excellent condition for 130 with the aperture ring.
Instead of buying an old camera with a CCD sensor can't I just adjust the colors in my Olympus Om-D to emulate Kodachrome? If so is there any sites that will list the settings? By the way I live on Staten Island and have seen some of your photos you've taken here.
CCD SENSORS compared to CMOS SENSORS are physically different. No adjustments of a CMOS sensor will have the emotional quality of a CCD.
**CCD sensors create high-quality, low-noise images. CMOS sensors are usually more susceptible to noise.
Because each photosite on a CMOS sensor has several transistors located next to it, the light sensitivity of a CMOS chip tends to be lower, as many of the photons hit the transistors instead of the photosite.
What lens would you recommend for portrait shots ?
I highly recommend this lens for portraits and macro photography. It costs about $230 used mint condition. Put your money into glass ( Tokina AT-X Pro 100mm f/2.8 D Macro Lens (Nikon F-Mount)
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography thanks once again ! How about for long distance shots ? For example sunsets and skyscrapers?
I had one
how about the D60 or D70?
The Nikon D60 & D70 also have a gorgeous CCD SENSOR.
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography thanks.. I am seeing a good deals on FB marketplace this past few days might consider getting one :)
Does it store in raw?
Thanks
Yes indeed.. read. mecam.me/how-to-shoot-in-raw-on-your-nikon-d50/
Do you know and full frames this cheap?
The Canon 5D CLASSIC MARK 1, is full frame, not $30, but it's one of the low cost full frame DSLR's I would highly recommend.
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography thanks
How does this compare to a390?
DP REVIEW DID A GREAT JOB TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION,
HERE IS THE LINK; cameradecision.com/compare/Nikon-D50-vs-Sony-Alpha-DSLR-A390
Ib ought this camera for $8 from a thrift store
Because I am not the brightest person on the planet I think I am going to struggle with all this tech talk I am also going to look at your back catalouge of vids I am hoping you start with teaching idiots like me ?? If so could you advise where I should start with your up loads ?? Thanks Allan. From the Wales in the U.K. !!!!!!
