You are wrong. D50 are made long after D70, no reason for Nikon to use old ccd when more capable one are available at lower cost. Look at the test result here:

With fast development in technology you usally pay less for more if you wait. Personal computers are the obvious exsample.
According to the graph above, D50 at ISO800 produce less noise than D70s and Canon 350D at ISO 200! If you are going to use the camera for taking bird pictures at dawn and dusk the choice is obvious. Use the money saved for better glasses.
