Why it's buy-it-for-life
One owner has used the same D50 inherited from their dad since 2006, over a decade of continued use. Other redditors report picking up used units cheaply and still getting reliable, good-quality images from them today.

I inherited this NikonD50 from 2006 from my dad as a kid and still use it over a decade later
I still have my D50. And my D600. I need to haul them out again.
picked one up along with two kit lenses, and a camera bag for just over $100... it's cheap and reliable, and good to learn the basics on. It can still make nice images.
