I agree. My main concern is the vertical grip. Cos I am used to using that. My current F90X's vert grip serves me well. It also provides a heavier weight which is more stable.
Now that D70 is abt 1yr old, so the latest batch should hv most of the field call problems solved.
Do you personally use D70? And if so, how is ur verdict?

Other stuff I purchased with the D70:
For the CF card, Kingston at Eastgear is around 120$ for 1gig. I tested its speed is very very similar to Sandisk Ultra II which costs about 170$.
OEM battery (for backup, just in case...) costs about 35$.
Hoya HMC UV filter 35$.
Sigma 18-125 lens for D70 costs below 500$, if you prefer better zoom range.
AFAIK we are not supposed to give the receipt information here, as my words should not be used as "official quote" for any shop.jamesow said:
Also I am a foreigner here, the prices I am getting really changes a lot. Eventually I won't be here next year or so... Many times, sellers tried to rip me off. Your experiences/quotes will be different than mine.
All I can say is, Lords gave me the best price. Difference was good enough to get on the MRT from City Hall/Bugis and go to Lucky plaza.
After my Dimage A2, D70 feels like a mustang. It is very dynamic. Also I realized how I missed the DOF of SLRs... Strange, but that's how it is.jamesow said:
D70 is not noise free, but I think the Neatimage cleans the noise of D70 far better than A2. Probably because the picture (and the noise) is much sharper on the D70. With D70 I don't hesitate to shoot at 800-1000 ISO in low light.
So far, I am happy.
If wait for new model then buy, u will wait forever. Cse new model will always be in the pipeline. Jus jump in like me and start snapping to your heart content :blah: .
Jus got my D70 2 days ago and is very pleased with it
. Now is to look for cheap, good and higher CF capacity (using Ultra 256 now). Anyone can recommend? :embrass:

I am kind of getting mixed signal about D70 able to handle Lexar WA (Write Acceleration) Can anyone confirm this?
Nikon Singapore website (www.nikon.com.sg) says that it can handle Lexar WA. But it was not mention in Nikon other websites. I was also told from shops that D70 can't handle Lexar WA faster writing speed.

Don't think it really matters much. If you look at the compact flash performance database (http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007-6816), the D70 has write speeds of around 4.5 MB/s on the current fastest Sandisk and Lexar cards. That speed is probably at the limit of what the D70 can do (already more than double what the D100 does, and only slightly slower than the D2H)
