D50 sensor vs E500 sensor [Archive] - Digital Camera Resource Page - Forums
The E-500 has cleaner, more artifact free photos in lower ISOs, but it gets more noise at ISO 400 and above compared to the D50.... All it seems to me is taht the E500 has more megapixels, and has a lot more features than the D50 does, but stuff that my friend won't ABSOLUTELY need....

Nikon D50 vs. Olympus E-500 [Archive]
The D50 is a little bit better than the D70s, even though it lacks some of the D70s' features.... I did give the edge to the D50 and XT for marginally better high ISO noise performance....

E-500 "a step above the competition"? (vs. 350d, d50?) [Page 2]
Since many Zuiko lenses are faster than other lenses of similar size and bulk, they can be opened up more.... But I suspect that there are real optical impediments to making sharp fast zoom lenses that are much faster than f/2....

Nikon D50 Vs E-500 kits [Page 1]
D50 is definitely better at high iso, but "out of camera image quality" I would argue the E500 has better color.... The colours, the tonal transitions and the resolution of the E-500's images are far superior to the D50's....

nikon d50 vs olympus e-500 vs canon 350d (vs nikon d70?) - What Camera Should I Buy? - Digicam Help - Steves Forums
I am sure Canon will launch a new model that will be equal or better than D50 soon.... Unless Canon reduce the price to below that of the D50 there is no reason to choose Canon....

D70s vs K100D vs D50 vs 350D vs E-500 vs A100 vs R1 vs GX
Next, the Nikon D70s shot is just as crisp as the D50's but is looking more natural and neutral like.... I hope to receive more feedbacks and hopefully a more accurate comparison between the cameras....

Nikon D50 vs Olympus E-500
Nikon should (im not certain) be able to shoot frames faster, hence be a bit more effective for fast action.... Image quality will be about the same on both cameras, except the Nikon will have better image quality if you utilize the professional grade lenses....

E-500 vs D50 vs canon rebet xt
High ISO performance + better viewfinder + good build + excellent old lenses for great prices and famous Anti Shake.... Canon and Nikon have better high ISO (which I would not be without) and many many more lens and accessory options....

Nikon D50 vs. Olympus E-500
I do love my D50 though, it produces some outstanding images, and the noise handling is fantastic.... When was the last time you used the internal flash on the D50 to control an external SB600/800 in speedlight Commander mode?...

A100 vs E-500 vs D50 vs D70s vs EOS
), eye start AF, pentaprism viewfinder, nice rear design, two mode dials, continuous shooting at 3fps until memory card is full!...   I'm currently looking to get my family to invest in a dSLR and am looking primarily at the XT, D50, and K100D....
