Default Nikon D70 (and my 35mm Nikon equipment)

No, don't fear, fear not, I've not joined the digital masses (yet).
However, I have finally convinced the Michigan Department of Agriculture
to purchase a Nikon D70, to be used by yours truly, as well as a few other
select persons in the course of their work. I was the one who put the
list of camera possiblities together. I requested the Nikon (positioned
carefully in the middle of the list) because I can use it with my larger
personal system (which I've been using almost exclusively in lieu of their
crappy sony mavica), thereby facilitating my job. If anyon'es interested,
I'll let you know what I think of it after I get it--it hasn't been
ordered yet, and Finance and Budget have a way of tossing the proverbial
monkey wrench into the gears when they want to, but it's been tentatively
approved by the director, and I'm reasonably sure I'll have it in my hot
little hands before too long.


Sneaky Pete!

Hope you get it. I think if I ever get another DSLR I might seriously
consider the D70. I have a strong urge to fully return to using Nikon
gear.

My D60 is being borrowed by a fellow photographer who sold his 10D
thinking he could get a 1D Mark II relatively quickly. Shame. He has to
wait for about another few weeks. I'm almost half hoping he loses my D60
so I can claim a new camera from the insurance.
