Coming over might be tough but I'd be happy to send my camera along with whichever of our household goes to tomorrow's Mosaic meeting.
But...what do you mean by "good at low light photography"? The really critical things are: highest possible ISO (1600 on the D50; dunno on the Rebel); widest open aperture (i.e. lowest f-stop number), which is dependent on the lens, not the camera; and vibration reduction, if you can afford a lens which has it, again a function of the lens, not camera. Beyond those variables, I don't see how different cameras are going to vary in how they handle low light.
You'll also want to be shooting in "RAW" mode which, although it takes more disk space and adds a step or to to your post-camera workflow, gives you the most control over troubling lighting situations.

Plus, of course, there are flashes. :-)
