I don't want to get into a camera vs. camera fight -- but I really don't think the D50 is worth the extra money over the DL/DL2 (currently it's about $200 more at retail in Canada) if you don't have an investment in Nikon lenses already.

The D50 is bigger, heavier, has a poorer viewfinder and a smaller LCD. The lens kitted with it is also poorer (though this doesn't matter much if you're buying a better lens off the bat).

But anyways, if John's not looking for an SLR it's not much of a discussion.
