Everyone has their favorites. I say keep em with you even if ya wanna have them in the trunk of your car just in case.

Yes, I think the D50 and D200 came out about the same time in 2005. The D200's are what I am still using for some reason. I estimated earlier this year that both cameras will be hitting 100k shutter actuations around the end of 2015 (to celebrate their 10 year anniversary).

The D50 was my first digital SLR, and I loved it. Fact is my cousin has it and is still using it. They were little tanks for sure. I remember when in the next entry level incarnation they came out with the D40, I was hoping for a nice D50 upgrade, but instead got a down grade in my thinking.
So then I got the D80, and then learned about setting up the back button function, from then on I was ruined. While I liked the D50 you couldn't pay me enough to use one again. That and the one wheel.
