ISO of 200 for the D70 has nothing to do with any other cameras ISOs.
The 200 is the same as 100 on one camera, or 50 on another. There is no
noise at 200. You might as well say it has an ISO of 11. Digital aint
film and the numbers rarely mean the same thing, even compared to other
digital. The D70 has the best metering of any sub 5K camera, but just
about all of the DSLRs are excellent. Nikkor glass is the best, so I
decided to invest in that.
