Noise at high ISO Pentax K100D vs Nikon D50
There are megapixel differences between the D50 and K100D, of course.... At 3200 the K100D naturally comes out ahead (the D50 only goes to 1600)....

K100D vs. D50 Feature Comparison
I think my biggest problem with the K100D at this point is the D50 feels better in hand.... Keep in mind, I want to list the features the K100D has that the D50 doesn't have, and vice versa....

K100d VS. D50 VS. 350D VS. *IST DL [Page 1]
So, the K100D uses the same image sensor as Nikon D50 and the *ist DL, but because of the new image processor it's likely to give the best images.... The D50 has more intuitive metering, and doesn't seem fooled as easily by brightness,hence less underexposure....

  The JPEG quality depends very much upon the manufacturer and yes, there will be differences say between Canon, Nikon, Pentax etc.... Major differences in camera design are more to do with ergonomics, lens availability, backwards compatability for lens, what accessories are available etc....
