but there isnt really a difference between picture quality.
i guess the d70 kit also comes with a bit better lens.
i recommend the D50 to anyone
Well, there is alittle more difference between the two...
FPS is slower on the D50, 2.5 FPS compared to 3 with the D70 (Makes a huge difference if you shoot action shots)
Shutter speed goes up to 1/4000 on the D50, whereas the D70 goes to 1/8000.
The D70 has the built in SB commander mode whereas the D50 does not have this feature.
The D70 has a depth of field preview button and the D50 does not have this feature. This allows the user to stop the lens aperture down to a value selected by the user or a value the camera will select when using a CPU lens attachement.
The D50 is limited to a SD memory card where the D70 can use CompactFlash (CF) Card (Type I and II) and Microdrive type cards.
If you can live without those differences then the D50 is perfect for you!.
