That's a cracker ... got me stumped. Looks like the camera is having a problem with one colour/shade?
Are ALL pics showing the same problem?
It does look like the ISO is way too high, but, the rest of the pic is fine.
As these things use a "processor" these days I would be taking it (the camera) to my local shop for a test. My "local" is not Jessops.
I'd like to see the EXIF info.

My cat is called "Charlie the stray cat" we don't know where he comes from either, he is a bit of a gypsy cat, moves between mine and the neighbours.....Awesome pic though Chris...

I "see" nothing wrong now I downloaded the pics and viewed them at a decent resolution.
They are too big for the forum & screen I have, and naturally the likes of Picasa render them perfectly, as the camera took them, as long as I don't go viewing at 100% crop as you have here.
I only shoot RAW and post-format me pics for view, you can see what I mean by looking at me Picasa site.
The cat only pic is quite good but I would have focused on the eye.
If you want a second more rich opinion, go to a dedicated camera forum, they will stear you a little better then me.

Hmm... i'm sure somethings not right. Perhaps these pics arent the best examples, but there is definately excessive noise on shades of red it would seem...
Have asked on the forum you linked to
will see what they say - maybe it is just me... who knows!!!!
Cheers

That would have been good, but I took the photo "blind" - he wouldnt stay still so I just shoved the camera in his faced and hoped the pic would be alright!

Pics looked ok to me. The first shot looked as though it needed a bit more light for the dark areas but seemed to be fine for the part that was in sunlight, it was a difficult shot to get perfect from a single snap.
The plane pics have some blueness on the seat belt etc, a filter would probably have given you a better shot.
Looked good to me though.
[font=arial,helvetica]"The D50's image quality was excellent. Its exposure and autofocus system complemented each other, producing sharp, well-exposed images. The 5-point AF system is fast and accurate, and its predictive focus tracking is able to keep up with moving subjects. Image noise was not an issue with the D50. At ISO 200 and 400 noise was essentially absent. Shadow noise is detectable in images captured at ISO 800, and noticeable at ISO 1600, but highlight noise is remarkably low even at ISO 1600. The quality of the D50's images at high sensitivity settings will be a compelling benefit to photographers upgrading from consumer digicams. [/font]
[font=arial,helvetica]I did notice a slight amount of moiré, a visible pattern that occurs when one or more halftone screens are misregistered in a color image, in images of a seersucker fabric. Nikon Capture 4 has a Color Moiré Reduction tool that is fairly effective at reducing, but not eliminating, moiré; it can only be used on NEF images, however. I can also recommend Fred Miranda's Moiré Reducer Photoshop Action; it costs only $12 and works on JPEG images."[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica]Haven't a clue what hes saying here but it may help you. Also earlier he mentions something about having to re-set settings as something to watch out for.[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica]Much too techy for me.[/font]
