Hi Doug BIG subject I believe you will get two responses here, one from each of the Nikon and Canon camps. I as you probably know sit on the Canon side of the fence. I know two people with a 20D and must say it looks am impressive piece of kit, Canon seem to be a little less of a problem with regard to the censors collecting dust than the Nikon. I also know two people with the D70 that two is an impressive camera, although I wouldnt swap it for the 10D. I guess the next bit depends on how much $$$ you want to spend, the D70 is cheaper than the 20D, however the 10D is well priced now. The Canon 10 and 20D's lowest ISO is 100 as opposed to the Nikon's ISO 200, and IMO puts out a slightly cleaner image. Also IMO the bonus of using older lenses may not be a bonus! This is partly due to the sensor crop on the DSLR's that are not full frame, as part of the outer view of the lens is not used, this has the effect of the censor picking any imperfections in the lens, this is why some of the newer lenses made state that that they are optimised for digital. I am certain that not all will agree with me, but I have done much research on this, and this is a very brief skim of my findings. Canon/Nikon always a big debate, I have seen the difference on screen and print for the cameras that you have mentioned, not much in it but there is a difference, and swings slightly on the Canon side (Just my opinion) Having said that if you have Nikon lenses like their cameras etc, maybe you should stick with them. I will let someone else have a go now. Simon
