I'm sure I won't Simon.... every review I've read has compared it to both the D-Rebel and the Nikon D-100.... all very similar.... While I had actually considered going with the D-100.... the metal body vs plastic is irrelevant to me... I am very gentle with my camera equipment...(usually), and feature for feature the D-100 and the D-70 are almost identical. Though the D-70 does have a few improvements... The fact that one is considered more pro and the other consumer is also irrelevant to me.... while equipment can make a difference in quality, all cameras really are just light boxes... it's how you use the tool that matters. There is however a small price difference, which made a difference to me in which to chose Canon's are nice, used to use them, still have all my old f mount lenses and cameras, but when I made the switch over to the Nikon system and lenses, well.... switching back to Canon and having to invest in new lenses doesn't quite make sense financially.....

I am, therefore I create.......
