Mike, I am really leaning toward becoming a Nikon convert, I don't have any logical reason, especially since the camera shop in town is a Canon dealer..that would be easier. However after everything I have read and a ridiculous amount of hours spent on dpreview yesterday, I just fell the pull..
While the Nikon guru's have surely had nothing but rave reviews over the d70, after listening to me, and realizing Im a bit camera dumb, they think that a coolpix 8700 or 8800 might be all I need and suit me better. Have you looked at either of these?
Just know that if I end up with the d70, Im liable to drive you absolutely nuts...(actually, I think you are already there
)so here is your chance to talk me into another camera.
