D70s is a minor update to the D70 so in effect it's a year or so older
than the D50.

LOL, do you thing that their source only makes one 6Mp sensor of that size?

So why is the D50 better picture quality and by how much and in what ways?

I enjoyed the above label thread; however this is the wrong forum for
such a discussion. This is the forum for Long Zoom EVF cameras.

just fine.
