The D70 compared with 300 D?? The D70 is a much better camera.

I know that, you know that, but the vast majority of newbies don't.

Do you really know that? If so, you are simply contributing to the
noise when you could be educating those of us in the vast unwashed.

Physically, it seems to be a better camera. Sensorwise, probably
about the same. However, the conundrum is that the Rebel XT
is still a "lesser" camera physically and egonomically than the D70
but has a better sensor. But then for the average buyer, the kit
lens (18-70) for the D70 is a far better lens than either iteration of
the Canon 18-55mm. Tough choices, huh?
