Frank,
If I remember correctly, the D50 will not fire without a chipped lens on
it.  Buy the kit for $599 and use the 28-80 Nikkor in the kit at that price
point.  If all you are doing is low res then who cares about the lens.
Better yet, pick up a cheap P&S as any of them can be made to work.

I will stand by the D200, it will be with you for years, the D50 is a decent
consumer camera designed to sell at a very inexpensive price point with all
that entails.
