Nikon D50 or D70s.

I was wondering which and why would be a better choice for a newcomer into photography, who is only starting to learn anything about photography; a Nikon D50 or Nikon D70s.
I dont have the money to have a darkroom, or else at the moment, Id go with a SLR rather than a dSLR and the only experiences Ive had have been with simple point-and-shoots that the general family uses.
Any information, direct and including differences between the two would be greatly appreciated.

DSLR is certainly the best type of camera to learn photography. Especially if you use manual controls. Question about going digital... If you use film camera then you can not see the results until the film is developed. Every shot made with film camera will also cost you some extra money. If you use digital camera then you can see the result immediately. Then, if you are not satisfied, you can delete it and take another picture of the same subject. And it wont cost you anything. That is why digital camera is much easier and cheaper tool for practicing.
To get D50 or D70? Both are very good cameras. D50 is newer model, has some technical improvements, bigger screen and it is smaller and lighter. It also costs less than D70.

Ive actually found the bodies only with a 20 dollar difference.

Thats why I was wondering which would seemingly be the better option since, even after reading about them, not much is different about them.

So, the 20 dollar difference from going from a D50 to a D70s wouldnt be that much of a big deal, so, if you've any more input, that'd be fantastic.
