although I'm an adoring owner of a Canon 10D, I am not sure if it is ALWAYS the right choice. The D70, from memory, has a more useful range of ISO settings and better flash sync speed. And then there's the price, not to mention the range of lenses that can be used (which should be the main importance when you already have lenses, in my book at least). The only downside in my book is the casing...but at least the plastic is lighter... Swings and roundabouts as always
