Great pics Bug.

Now ya'll got me thinking of ways to ditch my N80 to offset the cost of going to a D70.

A pair of photos shot last sunday at the Barcelona Zoo with my new Sigma 70-200 2.8:

I'm in love with the D70

Stunning photos in this thread, wonderful recordings.

Would be interesting to know file sizes of photos posted.

E.g., for most my purposes, up to 8x10 and computer sharing, I prefer 3.3 and even 2.1 megapixels, not wanting storage sizes of more than around a meg or less jpeg.

My current computer viewing is 1024x768 for just about everything from text to photos to on-line flight simulation.

Do any of you with the highest 5 or 6 or 8 meg equipment find yourselves still carrying around 2 or 3 meg pocket cameras too? Or do you stay only with the larger higher rez more professional cameras even for non-paid personal photography?

Even though my Canon S45 will shoot up to 4 megapixels, I shoot at half that for most things, and even as small as 640x480.

Hi Halo,

I still use my Canon A70 a lot. I think it's the perfect complement for a DSLR; when the D70 stays home I carry the little and versatile A70 with me. Carrying a big DSLR with an even bigger lens in certain places or situations is like yelling out loud "I'm a good target, please come and steal my really expensive camera!". Then there is the intimidating factor; some people reacts negatively when someone points a big, black, bulky camera at them, so for taking candids a little compact camera is much better. And last but not the least, when I know that I'm going to end very drunk, carrying the D70 with me is out of question

About megapixels, I always use the higher setting available. Even when the final output is going to be a 800x600 pic, I found that the result of converting from say 6 MP is way better than doing so from 3 or 4 MP in terms of sharpness and general quality.

My thoughts on the D70, off to the Darkside.

Are you saying you prefer the Cannon 10D?

What made you dislike the D70 so much as to switch over entirely to Canon?

One of my concerns about getting into a DSLR is not only the initial cost of the camera and a few memory sticks. But that I'll get hooked and end up spending a small fortune on extra lenses as well.
