I read this with open eyes and open thoughts.Now I am perplexed as to if I made a right decision purchasing a Nikon8700. I am a hobbyist only but do like to have good equipment.. I try to think I have a good eye for shots,and think I am improving each outing. Should I have bought the D70, has been my puzzling question for tha last few days. Then I think maybe just keep going with the 8700 and at a later date go into more camera. Opinions ???
