Mary,
I agree with Mike 100%.
Prior to buying my Rebel (which I love) I was very inexperienced with a camera. Literally one hour after getting home from the camera shop I was taking pictures that I was proud of.
I would also like to add that in that hour I made supper, had a nice meal with my family and cleaned the kitchen.
It was that easy to get started............taking quality pictures that is.
What I am trying to say is don't sell yourself short. You WILL be able to get it. The Rebel is so user friendly for the beginner, yet it is great when you start to understand things and want to try to be more creative. Though I can't speak for the D70, I would venture to guess it is the same story.
One other note. The biggest bonus, for me anyway, with the SLR was not having a delayed reaction when I snap the picture. I can get sharp images of my son William (AKA Perpetual Motion) Prior to the Rebel my digital camera (a $300.00 one 2 years ago) couldn't capture a clear image of a moving target. I was told that the only way to get away from that problem is to get into the SLRs.
For photographing children this feature is priceless!!
On yet another note, although I love my Rebel if I had to do it over again I would probably go with the D70. Don't ask me why just yet, because I don't really know myself.
Good luck!
