Glad to hear you got sorted JJ. I have had some feedback (and
pictures) from the guy I sold my D70 to and he is well pleased with
it. I'm glad it has gone to a good home. Meanwhile, I have had a
couple of weeks to play with my D200 and, subject to one or two
settings tweaks, it is giving me absolutely stunning results. One of
the first differences I noticed between the D70 and D200 is the larger
brighter viewfinder. The D70 will last you a long time but if/when you
feel you've outgrown it look to the D200, it's awesome (and coming
down in price now that the D300 is out)
