As I understand it, night scene mode is about the same as P mode except the shutter is allowed to go very slow if the scene is dark. In P (or the green box) mode the shutter is restricted to 1/60 or 1/90 sec. You can duplicate the effect on your 50 (or the 300 for that matter) by using Av mode and using the widest aperture that your lens has.

This is another worthless PIC mode once you learn how to set your camera.

If you do want to get into night photography (and I find it HIGHLY rewarding), try getting hold of the book "Night and Low-light Photography" by Bob Gibbons & Peter Wilson.
