Most people feel that the Nikon D70 is better than the Canon Digital
Rebel and it is about $300 more. For an additional $300 more you can
get a Canon 20D, considered by most to be better than the D70.

After all the research I have been doing and searching around for a good
entry level digital SLR I got an unexpected call from my father today
telling me he bought me a Nikon D70 with a 15-75mm lens and a form fitting
camera case. I was told I can't go wrong with this proven camera....and that
it's much better then my previous camera which was a Canon digital rebel.
Well, some gig compact flash cards on order already...and I can't wait!
