I had a 707 for about 2 years and I loved it. If you check out my gallery 90% is from the Sony. Great camera but it was time for me to go to a DSLR and I went Nikon seeing I already had Nikon glass. Personally I am a Nikon snob but so far I am not overly impressed with the D70. I say go on ebay and go with a Nikon D100 kit that includes a lens. Just my $0.02 Magick Michael
