i was also in the same boat a few weeks ago, trying to decide to get a really good p&s or a dslr. in the end, i chose the d50 over the d70 and higher end p&s like the canon g series. the ability to change lens won me over. my friend and i went to monterey last weekend and while i was still learning how to use the d50, it was still a lot of fun. i would wholeheartedly suggest getting a dslr. they're not difficult to learn how to use, especially in auto mode but it's the ability to switch lenses and have more control over the camera that is its strong point.
the d50 isn't as small as the rebel xt but it has a good feel to the grip. the xt feels almost too small for my hands. you can't go wrong with either camera though. they both perform as well as their bigger brothers, the d70 and 20d. the d50 image quality is as good or even better than the d70. that, its lower price and ability to take sd cards led me to choose the d50.
here are some pics that i took in monterey. the landscape pics didn't look great so here are some close ups. they're not great but i'm still learning:
