My Nikon D50 with zoom was pretty useless without flash, so I pulled out my tiny Fuji F30 and worked with that one.

Llaria,
I can't imagine that the Nikon D50 could not perform better than the Fuji F30.
There are two things, however, that make your story believable - 1) the one rap on the D50 that I have read is that it came with a fairly poor kit lens, and 2) of all the point and shoot cameras out there the Fuji F30 is probably the best low light camera around. There is now, as I posted just above, a Fuji F40 which will be hitting the market soon.
Still, the D50 has a top end ISO of 1600 which should out match any camera of the F30 ilk. The sensor on the D50 is considerably larger than the one on the F30 or any other point and shoot type camera. I'm wondering if you had a tripod to use, and, did you try to adjust your ISO setting on the D50 to give yourself more light?
