I can't stop jumping with happiness! I've just got my D70 yesterday!!!!

And I'm astowned. It's great. Such a lovely piece of machinery. I think I'm in love with it. (my wife is a bit jeoless - I don't know if this is well written).

I bought it with the 18-70DX lens.

I'm also piking up today the 70-300 ED and the 50mm f1.8.

Any thoughts about this lenses?

I'mmm sssooooo hhhaaaappppyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

Thank's. It feels good. The shutter release sound is magical.

Good solid beginning lenses. You have the same lenses I do. My only complaint is that the 70-300 ED is slow. But it worked great for me for about 5 years. It's only the last 6 months that it's been an issue. The 50mm is basically glued to the front of my camera.

Have fun with it!

I would say if you read the reviews the ED 70-300 lens is basically the same as the 70-300G lens. I have the G lens and I am happy with it. It gives as clear pictures as the 18-70. I also have the 50mm 1.4, that is an excellent lens, Its extremely sharp.

As soon as my bonus hits the bank in about a week I'll be joining the D70 club. I can't wait. I'm driving my wife crazy talking about cameras.

Congratulations. You are going to love that camera. Great lenses that you are getting

I bought mine just over a month ago with the exact sames lenses that you have and haven't stoped thinking about shots and composition, ever since...even in my sleep. It's true!

I love the camera, and I'm sure you will too.

Welcome to the club.

PS They are rare but pick up a remote whenever you get a chance. I'm picking one up that's on hold today.

congrats!

Got my D70 in January and got almost the same lens.

The 28-80 f3.3-5.6 was with the D70 Kit and I got the sigma 70-300/f4.0-5.6 APO Macro Super II and just purchased the Nikon 50mm f1.8.

I'm very happy with the camera and lenses. :)

Looking forward to see some shots with ribbons from you.

Yes you will LOVE the D70. I have the same lenses as you although my 70-300 is the Sigma DL macro which I don't find anywhere near as sharp as the other two. If I ever get rich I'd love to get the 70-200 2.8 VR but it costs more than the camera!! The 50mm 1.8 is my latest acquisition and is a real bargain. Such a fast and sharp lens. Welcome to the club :)

I used to switch back and forth between my 50mm 1.8 and 28mm 2.8, but after getting the Tamron 28-75 2.8 I don't ever take it off the camera unless I need a longer zoom. a good place to read a lot of nikon equipment is www.bythom.com

Welcome to the club! I love my camera.

Congrats Nuno! I still have that happy feeling and I got mine in December. I'm lucky enough to be out almost every day taking pictures. Got into a large flock of Snow Geese yesterday and took over 200! Now you will have to face the "problem" of having all those photos to go through!

Enjoy!
