If you go to Nikon repair center at Chang Charn Road, you'll MOST of the faulty DSLR to be brought to repair are D70!! Is it because the user population is large?
I brought my 20yr old FM2 to repair and saw SO MANY D70 which people brought there. Or is it just my wrong observation?? My D100 has been perfect for the last 3 years even though I wear it, swing it vigorously (and bang it) while playing table tennis!! D100 is quite rugged. Not sure about D70 durability!!
Just my feeling..
