Nikon 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!

Just picked up mine the other day with a 19-35mm and 70-300mm. I'm now
having a lot of trouble trying to be at my desk and working. Just wana
get out there.I'm really impressed with it and have since stopped
looking at buyer's guides etc. You'll love it.
Enjoy.

For one thang most of you and the other Arkansas idiots ain't using it
because they think it refers to their Civil War heritage.

Is this a feeble attempt at a troll? Since its cross posted 9 out of 10
people would say yes. In my book its another pointless post from another
nameless nobody. I hope it made you feel better.

LOL.

I don't understand this.
You have a digital rebel yet you're looking for a good entry level digital SLR?

What would you class the rebel as?

Ok, since you asked... a 9 frame image buffer versus the 4 frame buffer of
the Rebel. Faster write buffer to media than the Rebel. ED 18~70 Nikkor is a
better lens than on the Rebel. If the Rebel had an L series lens mounted,
but the $100 kit lens isn't that great a lens. Maximum shutter speed 1/8000
sec vs. the 1/4000 sec on the Rebel. Front curtain, Rear curtain sync vs.
the first curtain sync on the Rebel. -5 EV to +5 EV in 1/2 or 1/3 EV steps
vs the Rebel with only -2 EV to +2 EV in 1/3 EV steps. D70 has 3D Matrix
metering, Center weighted, & Spot metering, Rebel nope! D70 Yes, 3 fps, up
to 12 JPEG frames, vs. Drebel with Yes, 2.5 fps max 4 images. D70 130,000
pixel LCD display vs. 118,000 pixel LCD.

Ooops you only asked "Name one way it is better than the Rebel?" I listed
more...

It works with my collection of lenses.

None of my lenses fit on the Rebel for some strange reason.

Looks like some one else responded to this...certainly a lot more then one
reason why it's better.

Re-read the original post. I'll quote, maybe you have trouble understanding
the words.

"it's much better then my previous camera which was a Canon...."

That's past tense and the word previous kind of takes care of it anyway. Do
you understand now?
