There's a D50 one here that might work, otherwise you generally need to get the one from the disk that came with your camera.  For most common cameras you can find these floating around on the internet.

Subject: [Digikam-users] Color Profile Question


DK Ver 1.7.0 Ubuntu 10.10

I am using a Canon D50 which is recognized by the system but I am unable to find a suitable profile for the camera to put into the configuration settings under the 'Color Management > Profiles > Camera and Scanner'
entry.

My list of profiles do contain a standard sRGB.icc profile but that is not showing on the presented drop-down-list.

How do I correct the problem? Help would be appreciated.

Hi,
together with your camera you should have received some cds with the Canon Software for MS-systems. This software contains several icc-profile of the camera. You only have to copy and put them in your system. (This at least was the case with my D40.)
Best regards,
Michael

Some generic comments to profiling: Either calibrate/profile your
camera the right way (with special hardware like IT8 targets) or use
the build in of DK (or ufraw or darktable or ...) profile. And camera
profiles are without any use, if you don't use a calibrated and
profiled monitor. And the next step is to profile the light-lens-
camera situation as different lenses shows different "colour" (some
are a little bluish some others are a little orange).

There is almost no advantage in using a default profile from Canon or
someone else. For my EOS 30D the canon profile is worse than the
default and generic one (at least with ufraw as I currently don't use
digikam for developing raw files).

In most situations there is no need to bother with camera icc profiles
unless you need colour accuracy, but then you have to generate
profiles for every shooting by your own.
