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)

Hi Paul! Yeah, the D200...'mmm! I would like to have one of those right
now,
but finances don't permit at present. :( I don't doubt it will be my next
camera, but whether or not that'll be this year or next year is uncertain.
I
know I'm gonna enjoy this new D70 for a while, but the first sign of
finances picking up and I will be off like a shot to my nearest Nikon
dealer
for that D200....'or maybe D300? Nikon sure make some lovely cameras, and
lenses. Canons are cool, but Nikons are nice too! I am glad to be able to
shoot both makes as it will be good to do comparisons of my shots from
each
model. This should be interesting! Have you posted any D200 shots yet on
the
www? I'd like to see those if you have them.
Cheers.
J
