The Nikon D70 costs about $1300 with an 18-70mm zoom


Isn't 18mm on a digital about equal to 30-40 mm on a traditional SLR?

I used to use a 28mm lens, but finally dropped down to the 19 because there are
just those times you absolutely need the difference.


I have a Nikon D100, and finding a good WA lense that actually works as
a good WA lense with it is a problem. In fact, ?I still don't have one
for it. But I can handhold a 300 mm lense, which translates into a much
longer lense with this camera. I could not possibly handhold a nearly
500 mm lense.

With the right lense, it is a very good portrait and candid camera, and
I used it recently to photograph some folks struggling with the
aftermath of being Wal-Marted.
