I am thinking of getting this camera soon, i am debating to get this camera in which then i would just buy the body off ebay or something and use the lenses that i already have for my 35mm Nikons, or do u think it would be better to just get the canon digi rebel? |

Since you already have Nikon lenses this camera would be a great choice. It has a few more features than the Canon Digital Rebel for just a little more money. Picture quality is very good too - as you would expect from Nikon.
There's a lot of info about it including a full review on DPreview.com (digital photography review) - http://www.dpreview.com/ |

The D70 is so new and I've heard hard to get that I think you'll have a hard time finding any reviews other than online. I was very impressed with the one I played with at Keeple & Shuchat. It's really more like the 10d than the Rebel as far as it's constuction goes. It's Nikon's way of 1-upping Canon at least at the DRebel level. If you have Nikon lenses I think it's a no brainer. _________________ Rich Dykmans |

It is my very first digital SLR and I love that thing. I havent even began to scratch the surface of the capabilities of this thing. The first day I had it we went out riding and I snapped off like 80 pics. The clarity is amazing, especially with the lens im using. I just used the one that came w/ it, 18-70 until I can get a 70-200. Ill post some but the files are too big and when i compress them they get distorted and lose that clarity. Whats the easiest way to change it. _________________ Everything in Between is what matters the most...

dragon85, if you have photoshop, when you resize the image, make sure you have the "constrain proportions" box checked. I dont know much, but I wouldn't think a pic should lose any quality by making it smaller. _________________ Get Frugally Green!

You have to resize the pic using bicubic interpolation and by having the constrain proportion box checked. Don't use nearest neaighbourg (sp?) or crap like that. _________________ Now even tough I know there's NO one in here that lives anywhere near Montréal, if you ever feel like riding, just pm/e-mail/msn/whatever else me |
