Nikon D50 vs Pentax *IST DL PLEASE HELP - Pentax / Samsung dSLR - Digital SLR Cameras - Steves Forums
The Nikon D50 is a bit better if you kook at distortion and sharpness the Nikon is better, but the overall picture quality of the Pentax *ist  dl is much better than the Nikon D50.... This question is not as simple as it sounds,  given the criteria you have set down the D50 may fit a little better....

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....
