Yep, I am bias. I am a Nikonian from way back. and the D70 is a great camera but I like the metal body of my D100. It just feels right in my hands. And yes, DSL is alot of money but it is well worth it. No shutter lag, interchangable lenses, high megapixal counts, I could go on but I will just say D100/SLR, love it!
