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. -- Regards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com |

Of course, now that it's pretty much on its way, thoughts start to cross my mind... Painting with light, for instance! ;-) -- Regards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com |

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. -- Ask yourself, "What would Elvis do?" |

Thanks Dallas--I certainly am looking forward to it--the last of the road blocks were cleared today... I'm also looking forward to a new (previously demo, but Nikon factory certified with a year's warranty) 8000ED scanner. Should be here tomorrow! I'm all digital this week! -- Regards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com |

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. |
