Zachary,

I like my D70 very much.

I have not done business with Buydig.com.

My feeling is that if my local retailer is anywhere close to the lowest price I will give them the nod. I like the idea of having local support. You could argue that $200 is not really close and I would agree.

I would continue to do my homework. I have heard more than one sad story regarding purchases over the Internet. Is it clear to you that it is also the camera that is getting the US warranty, and not just the lens?

Are you getting all that the factory kit comes with? A battery charger? A camera strap? Software? Make sure you are comparing apples and apples. This is one way they try and confuse the issue. You have to parse the words pretty carefully.

Good luck.
