I am going to save up the extra 300 I need (I can swing 10% off at a certain store) and get the D70S.

I also think I found someone who works at a camera shop in town that can get it for me for less than online (only about…Read more

It allows for the attachment of Zuiko lenses, of which I only have one 50mm 1:1.8 that I use now. The zoom lens I have is a Vivitar and will likely not attach, and as mentioned I CAN get the ring that will allow me to attach Nikon Al lenses. The Zuiko ring costs a little over $100.

probably mostly my brand snobbishness talking, though. 🙂

Buying a camera is a personal decision, and the right camera for one person might be the wrong camera for another. I don’t want to scare you out of a camera you’ll really enjoy.
But…
For the love all that is good in the world, hold the camera in your hands before you buy it, even if…

Do you reccomend it just because of the lens?

The telephoto would be nice, but it’s not something I think I will use right off the bat. I know you can get an adapter for this camera (under 200) that will allow you to add other lenses that fit Olympus film onto…Read more

Maybe there will be some more geekesque contests later.

Good work.
