If you're using the stock D50 18/55 lens (3.5/5.6) and handshooting in an indoor studio you're definately going to need some lights.

Ive used the Canon equivalent and those 3.5/5.6 lenses are SLOW. Even with the lights the results can be dark, meaning much tweaking in PS along with the added problem of having to put up with using a slower shutter speeds and lower apertures to get some damn light onto your sensor.

Have a look to see what fast primes you can lay your hands on, once id switched to a few 1.8/2'8's (even with a basic constant lighting kit) the results dramatically improved.

If budget allows at some point switch to strobes (just got some AB800's) indoor shooting will become a breeze with even with the slow lenses - good powerful lighting really opens the opportunities.
