Nikon will soon announce a new consumer digital SLR with a 10.2mp
sensor, probably an addition to the D70-S line with a couple of new
features.

I've been thinking about getting something like a D50 or D70 even
though they violate my "no pricey cameras on boats" rule. Any ideas
on how they compare, or whether or not this new D70-S model is worth
waiting for?


Details are sketchy, because Nikon is "teasing" its customers. The wait,
though, is not going to be long; the camera is supposed to be introduced
August 20th. The 6.2 mp's and other features of the relatively
inexpensive D50 are more than adequate for any advanced amateur
photographer. The bigger sensor on the new camera isn't going to do much
for you unless you like to make very large enlargements of relatively
small areas of a digital photo.
Harry,
If I am not mistaken, it was either you or that son of bitch JohnH who
started this whole camera discussion in rec.boats. Do you two have any
idea how much you have cost me and how much exercise I have to do
walking the trails looking for that elusive nature photograph?

I snapped a photo of a rare wood nymph and posted it in abpso if you are
interested.

Your rare wood nymph was quite lovely. I like the way that camera picked up
the hair on her legs. Very sharp. If anyone is wondering what a D50 will
do, those are some good examples.
