Really?  Still using my old clunker?

That was a mighty fine camera for its day and it sure did make the most
of those two itty-bitty MPs.  Too bad about that battery door though.
A friend had the follow-up model and it develoved the same problem.

I've owned a D70 for a couple of years now and have three lenses that
I'll press into service on whatever I get to replace it when the time
comes.   DSLRs are such  superior beasts from anything lesser digi-wise
that I have to say it's a whole different ball-game.  There's nothing
like just pointing, framing and taking a picture more or less instantly
and not having to wait for that shot missing lag.

Michael, who'll be content with his D70 for some time to come.
