being new to this game I'm sorry to ask these questions but do you think this is worth the BIN price
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nikon-D70-and-...QQcmdZViewItem or maybe this one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nikon-D70-DSLR...QQcmdZViewItem |

Oh, it's a different listing. Wonder why he has 2 identical set-ups for sale?
Looking again. I think you would find the wider angle of the 18-70 more useful than the 28-80 and the seller also has the 70-300 for an extra £50 giving you the telephoto you need for the same money as the other listing. You could probably get it all cheaper but it might take you a while. D70 with 18-70 went for £275 Same with bag went for £320 + £35! postage with 28-80 lens - £235 with 18-70 £371 You need to decide how badly you want to start taking photos now. |

I have one last question before i finally take the plunge into the DSLR world,
what is the difference between the D70 and the D70s, i understand that it has upgraded firmware but does it make a huge difference to the pics of the menu system? thanks for all your help guys its really helped me out.... I'll post a few pics once i get one |

Looking at the specs side by side they appear identical apart from a larger LCD (2" instead of 1.8") on the s version.
It would appear (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0505/05...70firmware.asp) that the firmware on the D70 can be upgraded to give many of the features the D70s has. The most significant seems to be an improvement in the Autofocusing "improved 5-area AF performance (especially continuous tracking)" which will help trying to track cars. |

Just to throw a spanner in the works, I've just had an email from Nikon Europe to announce the launch of the D3 and D300.

haha, indeed you can. I can't see these new cameras effecting the price of D70 or similar models really as they are a step above. The D200 is my favorite camera though and this new D300 looks a nice upgrade, the D3 looks awesome though. hmmmm - nah! that would be naughty.

well i finally found a cheap one, i've taken a chance with the lense but it was £100 cheaper than all the others of a similar spec so i thought it was worth a gamble.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN:IT&ih=011 can't wait to get it now and get snapping away. |
