I'm a D70 user hor... and I love my D70... just wondering though, does the DIGIC II processor in Canon Cameras really work wonders?
I mean there must be some advantage of this DSP chip that Canon is trying use to market their cameras...
How does the D70 compare to a Canon in this area?

why don't you go to NUG before deciding what to buy? i've never been to one before but i'm sure the NUs will be more than willing to share their experience and advice with you, and maybe even let you play with their nikon gear (d70 and nikon lenses) in real shooting situations. won't tell you anything about canon, but at least then you'll know what to expect if you choose nikon!

haha, was in you position a few weeks ago ...
bought the D70 ... :thumbsup:
go to shops and try both camera (a few times) ...
see you if like the camera's feel , buttons and knob layout, operation
for me, what i dun like abt 350D is that
- grip is too small to hold properly , makes me wonder how to shot properly when I can't even hold the camera properly ?
- menu a bit difficult to see under daylight
- camera look and feel very plastic
- only 1 commnd dial
- kit lens is ...
The most useful advice anyone ever gave me when I asked if I should get the D70 or 300D was to go down and try it myself. After trying both cameras out, I picked the 300D. Never regretted it since, so I personally feel you should try out both cameras yourself instead of asking for opinions.
Both the 350D and the D70 will definitely create images with are pretty much indistinguishable to each other, so pick what you feel works with you best.

Wait for the one to fill in obvious gap between Canon 350D and 1DMk2.
That is a $6,000 gap.
Build quality of 350D is poor.
I am Canon film cam user too, so I know what the company can do
if they want to make good build-quality cam. Think F1-N, EOS1-V
D70 build quality a bit better but seems dated by now.
Nowadays both Nikon and Canon cut costs on entry level cams.
They use stamped metal carrying strap eyelets.
Ugly like hell, I hate it. So in-elegant. Reminds me of an unflushed toilet.
Sometimes they carry production cost-cutting too far.
And tend to get rusty.
You see proper steel chromed eyelets on better cameras like F6, EOS 1V, FM2, F1-N, A-1, FE-2.
