Default Nikon D70 (and my 35mm Nikon equipment)

I never thought I would, either, but like anything else, it becomes an
addiction.

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.


Enjoy it! Before long, you'll be wanting the upcoming upgrade model to
the D2H...maybe an 8 MP D3H? After all, Nikon will need to respond to
the Canon 1D MkII. The D2H was announced almost exactly a year ago, so
it shouldn't be long now.
