I got my Nikon D50 and have been playing with it a bit, takes perfect shots and everything. My worry is, when you shake it (even gently, which is how I noticed this) there is a rattling noise coming from inside. It has done this since I got it, and I couldn't find any parts that'd be making the noise, but now it's starting to scare me that maybe something happened to it in shipping.
So, anyone else with the Nikon D50 or even some other DSLR, is it normal to have something inside make a rattling noise when you shake the camera?

 

No rattles from my Canon 10D

 

nope. you can blame thailand. just kidding.. it should not have it and make sure where it's coming from and contact nikon for warranty.

 

I think you might be hearing the orientation sensor. My D70 has one at least. It's what tags an image file as vertical when you tilt the camera 90 degrees in either direction. I imagine it's some kind of flap design.

I just gave my D70 a few gentle shakes and heard this thing moving.
