But, for the bucks mentioned, I think the Nikon is SO strong. I mean the ability to have RAW+Jpeg at the same time, even less "shutter lag" than the D100, 1/8000 th shutter (over Canon's 1/4000), and the fact that it's got a stainless steel chasis w/graphite wrapped around it makes it pretty hard to not seriously consider the investment. I know, it is a few bucks more than the Canon.....but..... I guess it's especially hard for me to choose, since I've never owned any auto focus lenses. So....all of this will be a MAJOR step up for me.
Any further thoughts from your snooping around this one?
Thanks,

Geary, I'll be so jealous of you if you get the D70. I love my D100, it's one of the best investments I've ever made. 50,000 pictures in a year and a half, and I'm still learning new ways to use it. A main reason I got it was the incredible absence of shutter lag. I have NEVER detected any!
At half the price a D100 was, and so many upgrades and improvements -go for it!
