Yes I have a friend that has the D70, and loves it. ( I have the Canon 300D) From what I have read the D70 seems to attract dust more, and I have heard of a few people that had Dust right out of the box. D70 is a very good camera, just blow the dust off the sensor with a bulb, and you are ready to start. Dust is not just a DLSR problem, I cleaned my film camera at least one a month. Dust would get on the mirror, and show up in my photos.
