it's the protools of photography.
I just got a Nikon D70. I've been saying that as soon as Nikon released a sub-$1000 digital SLR, I'd buy it. My first love is still Tri-X and darkrooms and real prints, but digital photography is fun and easy and immediate and it's so much easier to make homemade pr0n. Except for things like "good lenses" and "depth of field"... until now. And believe me, with the homemade pr0n, you want as little depth of field as possible.
So far the camera is brilliant. It feels like a "real camera" -- like a sister model to my film Nikons.
My only complaint: backwards compatibility. Every Nikon camera should be compatible with every Nikon lens style ever made -- at least from AI onwards. But now you have to buy the $5000 body if you want your collection of fast, sharp manual focus Nikon lenses to meter. I don't know if this is because it's actually too expensive to stay AI-compatible, or because Nikon's not making enough on these low-end models so they have to sell some new lenses. Regardless, it's a drag for me since all I have is old manual-focus lenses.
My other complaint is that I feel like a sellout. But isn't that what growing up is all about?
