No red-eye because the SB800 flash is not on the camera and is
controlled via wireless command mode of the D70. I'm really pleased
with the D70, by the way. I'll sell the last film camera I own.

Right on.... I was wondering how well it would perform. I'm considering a
Nikon Digital purchase for this spring. I believe they are about to present
an updated version of the D70? What accessories would you recommend? My lens
selection is fairly good because I still have the Nikon F4 equipment and
lenses.

No new version of the D70 is on the horizon at present. I think they might
introduce something new at the end of summer or next winter. Then you'll have
to wait for it to be shipped and firmware bugs resolved.

What about the D2X.... I thought that was their latest and greatest...

5 grand is a bit steep for a digital camera that will be soon eclipsed.
I feel 1 or 2K is a more reasonable limit for these things. The D2X
does look great!

Yeah... but they are all "soon eclipsed".... look at the F4... then came
the F5 which wasn't as good and less sturdy... then the F6..... it just
goes on and on. Why can't they get off the merry-go-round and just make a
camera that they can upgrade with individual components?

It's much different with digital. It's still in it's infancy. When these camera
have 20-25 MP it will be safe to stick with one for longer periods and the
price more justified. It's just too early to buy a 5K camera unless you earn
your money from it. A D70 type DSLR with around 20 MP that can truly match
35mm will be good enough for years of use, regardless of "new and improved"
models.
