I'm not familiar with Canon but I do own a Nikon D70 that works very well for me as a high end "pro-sumer camera." I'm pleased with the images and quite frankly, I could care less if the new Nikon lenses fit the old bodies. I also had a Canon FD setup for awhile... Rober Clark Lancaster, PA I am sure that the optical quality of Nikon and Canon are very similar. With each generation improvements are introduced that are hard to distinguish from one brand to the other. The primary difference is in the features of the lenses and the range of models available. I am sure that your D70 does a respectable job. Frank Bez does illustration photography for a company that produces outdoor products for the sportsman where color fidelity is very important. It seems that in the photo he could not match the color of the gun stock to the original with the Nikon. I bought Frank's original Olympus E10 and it has served me well for a number of years (in spite of the fact that it needed service for display problems). Now I am ready for a pro or semi pro model and the 20d seems a sensible range of features and price. Maybe next will be the Epson 4000 printer. But I have yet to win the lottery. Joe
