I did a search for this and no topics came up so here are my questions:
1. The differences between the D50 and D70 are not significant; how is it that there's a $500 price difference between the 2?
2. A friend of mine has a Nikon N80 (film) and quite a few lenses; will her lenses fit on the digital Nikons?
3. Does the default color spaces on the D50 (sRGB IIIa) and the D70 (sRGB Ia) make a difference in the final image?
Quotes from DPReview:
"It's worth noting that the D50's default color space mode is IIIa which is still sRGB but is described as being optimized for nature and landscape photographs; whereas the Ia on the D70 favors portraits and a more natural look"
"Color balance is bound to be different because the D50's default color mode is mode III where as on the D70 it is mode I."

Features and such. A search on will give a side-by-side comparison. One notable difference is that D50 uses SD cards and D70 uses CF cards.

I believe this is a yes. If the N series uses an F mount then yes.
I can't answer #3. |

I don't know a lot about the color spaces, but in film there are films that just produced nicer skin-tones than others.
I expect the same goes for different color spaces, but it really doesn't matter as much in digital photography, because colors can be shifted easily.

| The D70s appears to have a better build quality and is probably more rugged. D70s features a dof preview button not found on the D50. The D50 is slightly lower noise at higher ISO settings and uses a different sensor. But the D50 also has a more aggressive Anti-aliasing filter which yields slightly softer out-of-camera images. The price difference is not justified IMO. |
