To be honest, I don't remember what the ISO, aperture and shutter speeds were on the D3000. I just used similar lighting to what we use at work and took a few quick pictures. Now keep in mind, for personal use it would work for me, as I don't see myself needing pictures of Micro electronics that phones use. Both were handheld.

I think the D3000 is a 10MP and the D50 is 8 or 6 I can't remember off the top of my head, but the D50 seems to have better pictures close up. For a normal picture not macro, the D3000 visually seems to be a better picture.
