I don't remember if it was John C. or Jeff, who smirked at the Nikon
Coolpix
8800 over the Nikon D70.
You were 100% right. I have returned the 8800 for a D70 DSLR and also sold
off
the higher MP Canon 20D. The Canon has terrible metering and the 8800 is
no
better at low-light focusing than earlier models.
The D70 is a great DSLR.

Good choice. I could have got Canon for about $100 less if I had waited, but
I'm happy with my pick.
