From your previous posts, it sounded like you were leaning towards Nikon, sorry to hear that you went over to the dark side. What did you end up with?

Congrats on your purchase! There are a number of features Nikon offers some in bodies and lenses that I appreciate, and the D70 feels like heaven in my hands. I'd have likely gone with the D200 this time if my bank account would have allowed it. Enjoy your new camera. BTW -- what did you buy?

Nikon cameras sucks ... sorry, i'm not going to be politically correct and be nicey, nicey. it was a terrible decision and waste of money to have bought a nikon. i'm not even going to ask what model he wasted his money on. this is a canon lover's forum and i will always extol the beauty of canon cameras. and i've used nikon before. just so any of you will say that i should try one. no congrats from me.

:rolleyes: I'm sorry you had to see that My Porsche... aparently some are blinded by the fact that both systems are pretty darn good. Besides, it's your eye that's important right, and not the camera. ;)

Enjoy your new camera.
