I use Photoshop 7 to get the black and white results from my D70. I use the Channel Mixer setting to emulate B&W, my favorite setting is comparable to Agfa 200X. The setting for that is 18,41,41 make sure monochrome is clicked. If you have a preferred black and white film email me and I and I can tell you the setting if I have it or you can do a google search.

Tim,

I bought the SB800 last Thursday! I am now wanting to get another flash (maybe the SB600) and start playing around with the wireless function.

I am in love with this camera, I have already bought 2 Ultra II 1 gig cards and have been firing away, averaging around 100 shots a day. My second try with the D70 I took a few photos of a hailstorm, didn't think they were that good, went ahead and submitted them to the local paper and it made the front page. Like I said in my previous post I would have gladly paid $1,200.00 for this camera. It is awesome.

I haven't been this excited about a camera since the Pentax ME Super came out. LOL

After sitting on the fence for over two months trying to decide between the D70 or the Canon 20D I went with the D70. Call me crazy but it just felt better in my hands and that was the deciding factor. Don't wait for prices to drop. I happened to be at Best Buy with my son and was looking at the cameras and the typical 17 year old kid came over to "assist" me. I was pretty shocked though cause he knew a bit about photography. Anyway, I was pressed for cash and he threw out the sign up for 24 months no interest and just pay it off when you get the cash. That sold me. The camera was $1199.00 and you also got a $200.00 rebate. Went home and that Sunday the ad came out for Best Buy that they had a price drop of $100.00. I got a little miffed but the salesman told me if the price changes Best Buy will adjust my final price to it. Then, my Best Buy credit card came in the mail on Tuesday and with it included a extra 10% off for any purchase over $200.00 dollars. I took the ad and my coupon went back to the store and made them take the price drop and the coupon off of my final price.

$1199.00

-200.00 Nikon Rebate

-100.00 Price Drop

-100.00 10% off for getting a new Best Buy card.

Grand Total? I can live with that. But you know what? After using the D70 I would have paid $1,200.00 bucks for it. It is worth every penny.
