Ok, I posted a few days ago that I was looking into getting a D70... picked one up of creigslist... Nikon D70 + 18-70 lens : $950. with 6mo warr. from Nikon and a 3yr extended from Mack Camera...

I am one happy geek.

I'll have to go around campus to break it in...

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

Lucky bastard. j/k
That's one sweet camera. I've wanted one for awhile. Let's see some of those shots of people looking away who don't want you to take pictures of them. Or maybe even animals�with wide angle lenses!!

OK, I can't resist a shameless plug
If your in the Louisville, Lexington, or Clarksville area (northern KY or Southern IN) check out Murphy's Camera!

BTW: I made/maintain that site, so if you see a mistake PM me.

(is that considered spam? I'll remove it if it is...)

I am also a happy D70 owner, I've been very happy with it... I have an SB600, and it integrates very well with the D70. I use the kit lens and the Nikon 70-300ED lens, the Nikon 20MM 2.8 lens, Nikon 50MM 1.4 lens, and the Nikon 105MM Micro 2.8 lens. Great camera!!!

fantastic cameras! I'd love one but i cant afford such a thing. i've seen a lot of pictures, but when someone (amateur) sent me similar pictures taken with a d70 ... i crapped my pants. it was soooooo ... i dunno you guys got d70's. take a few shots with a p&s and a few shots with the d70 .. you'll know what i mean. it's hard to put into words. it was super sharp, great color, more "depth"? again .. hard to explain, easy to see. enjoy your camera's.

tussin ... lol

got asthma? take some tussin. got chicken pox? slap some tussin on it. subcutaneous anthrax? boyyy you best be takin' some o' that tussin!

got the D70 kit right before thanksgiving and love it. Always amazed by the pictures it takes. Just ordered a set of 8x10s, too, so i'll see what kind of prints it can make.

The one thing that i noticed when ordering prints is that the images are in a 1.5:1 ratio, while 8x10s are 1.25:1. this means that you either have to crop it to around 2500x2000 or have 'letterboxed' 8x10s.
