Nikon D70. Disregarding the obvious bias for Nikon products, which of

the above products is better and why. Please provide some insight

other then Nikon build better products if you can.

I was very lucky and found my local camera shop to have a D70 display demo with the 18-70 lens for 750.00 I am so happy with this camera. I am learning with it, using M mode alot, my only difficulty is remembering to change the ISO, since I am used to film. If you can find a similiar situation I suggest go for it. I think Ken Rockwell mentioned that today's cameras will do the job fine, and only more experiences users need to worry about big money cameras since they really need the options those cameras hold.

Yes it is available; however, I can only tell you I found it in my local camera shops. Call BH and ask them, I understand they will do just about anything for you.

Duh, I remember the backwards aperture thing now. But yall still answered my question about the range on the lens being the maximum. Thanks guys!

I hope this is simple. I have a D70 with the 18-70 3.5-4.5 lens. in M

mode the camera allows me to set the aperture up to f22. Is this

normal and if so how do f-stops beyond those on the lens affect the

picture. I.E. zoomed to 70mm which should be f-stop 4.5 with the

camera set to f22
