But a definite alure of digi shooting is a quick flip to a high ISO setting. Shot some pics at ISO1600 on my D70 of a jazz concernt and the noise (to me) wasn't quite tolerable. A camera where you can really just "set it at 11" - ISO3200 and shoot away with credible results is pretty cool in my book. But the noise control technology seems to be progressing quickly. KM's VR in the body seems like a really fantastic idea for low light shooting. A little USM and a good enough VF for manual focus on the Nikon bodies would do all us Nikon shooter good too. Time will tell. The D70 is a handly, relatively nicely priced and handy tool. But experience with this body has informed me that the digital body that I want and would likely be "willing to" afford hasn't been release yet. Time will tell.
