nothing nothing nothing nothing, except the non CPU lense compat. but its ok i'll gess on the fstops.
btw to Azrifel just bracket on your own its mindless, heven forbid the end of the world would come an u would have to shoot with an all manual Nikormatt or Nikon F1 then u would have to cange and develpe film too, and u would still be with out the benifit of auto bracketing.
how did they ever shoot with glass plate.....???? Abe Lincon could wait an 20mins. or more for his photo to be taken imagen if the photog. had sayed woops i've got to bracket that shot now.....lol
just ribbin' u alittle have a good 1.

My previous camera was a Canon Powershot Pro 1.
Hard to believe, but there are a few things about it that I miss a lot:
1) the flip out/over display screen (great for awkward spots and self portraits)
2) great macros
3) built in ND filter
4) TWO second timer (not just 10 seconds)
5) wireless remote control
6) compact size
But I won't moan too much - the speed of my 20D alone makes up for any shortcomings. I love it! |

1. As others have pointed out, the Minolta does have onboard IS
6. The new pentax models are much smaller and lighter
7. I was referring to the Canon EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L USM Zoom Lens. It's just too expensive.
As to your conclusion, besides the incorrect basis you made it on, I wasn't asking for anyone to recommend a model but merely reflecting on what I didn't like per the thread. To be honest, this is at least the third time you've responded to one of my posts in an somewhat offensive way. Maybe it's just your way of speaking, but feel free to not respond to them in the future. |

I thought I was the only one that felt that way about him...feel free to not respond to my posts anymore either. |
Do you all take everthing that personal in your lives? If you do not want people to reply to your posts, don't post. If you think my replies that offensive have me barred. Otherwise...

| I miss the quality of photos that I was getting from my Fuji Finepix S5000. By this i mean that I could get the end result without the use of photoshop whereas I cant seem to do the same with the Nikon D70. I attribute this mostly to my unfamiliarity with my new camera, which I really enjoy, but the learning curve should take care of that,. It summary, I think that the D70 is more of a camera than I am a photographer at this point in time. Please tell me this is not "As good as it gets". |

remember, a flip out screen won't help you without live preview. |

What some people have termed as offensive is not as bothersome to me as giving out misinformation, and representing opinion as fact.
You were not up to date on recent DSLR models; and where did you get the idea that Minolta lenses are inferior?

| I really love my camera. Biggest problem is noise at ISO above 320. Really nothing else that I don't like about it. The biggest plus is Kodak service. They rock. I sent it in once after really messing up the sensor trying to clean it. They fixed perfectly free of charge. I'm really surprised that there are so few users of this camera. It's pricey, but a bargain compared to the canon eos 1ds markII. |

Those are two of the things I would really like to see for the 20D, but they are minor things.
Wireless does exist for the 20D, it's just so expensive I cannot imagine buying it. Sure wish they would have made the 20D compatible with the little $25 infrared remote that works on the Elan 7NE and (I believe) the Digital Rebel.

Honestly, it's not that -- it's the be-all, know-all attitude that you give off, whether intentional or unintentional. It almost seems at times that you're speaking to people in a condescending manner. I'm not saying this to call you out but to maybe help you understand why some people feel that way.
By the way -- it seems you quoted me a good half hour after I edited my post to "." -- not sure how you did that -- being that I didn't feel this was the place for that. But since you wanted it here I guess my comment will stay.

Hmm. It may be "as good as it gets" to a point. I think that with our old Fuji's (I used a 4900Z) they had more in camera processing so the picture looked better out of the camera. As I learn more with my D70 I'm finding I get much better pictures with it but they do take some post editing work. I spend more time at the computer now after a day of shooting. With an SLR and the quality of lens you can use you have many more options open to you. I just returned from the Caribbean and some of the shots I have I would have never gotten the detail with my old Fuji. My wife has a Cannon Elf 4MP and it takes great snapshots but the detail of an enlargement is just not the same. If I was still satisfied with snapshots I would go back but I want more now. My interest is nature so I needed the flexibility an SLR is giving me. But it is more work.

You all need to lighten up. I'm not "telling" anybody anthing here. This is a place for me to "put my two cents in," to quote you from another thread, and to learn. I don't mind being corrected when I make an incorrect statement about something, in fact I expect to be corrected. As far as you taking it personal, I don't know if you do or not, but I rarely ever look to see who wrote the post unless to maybe see what pictures they have in their gallery. I am simply responding to the post, not the member.
I'm going to continue to post and to reply to posts on various threads as long as I feel I care to. Anyone who is abraded by my demeanor or the way I sequence my words should not take what I say in a personal manner unless it is in the form of a PM. Put some thicker skin on.

Continuous focus speed slower with non af-s lenses
No battery grip/vertical shutter release
3 fps as opposed to 8
can't think of anything else I'd want from it.
OK, so maybe I should get a D2H = P too expensive though.

Must be a pretty good cam, if the only complaint you have is that it only takes single shots in single shot mode and you have to switch to continous/ multi shot mode to take multiple shots... |
It is because I was used to the S602Z, when I told it to autobracket it would do an autobracket burst. I would like it to be the same way with the D70. Autobracket in a burst in any mode, as fast as it can. Perhaps this is something for a personal setting in a new firmware or with a future camera.

I wouldn't mind shooting all manual or film, I'm starting to get some feeling with all manual.
The point of autobracketing in a burst is important for me, because I like to autobracket from tripod and blend the exposures in Photoshop afterwards. Therefore they need to align perfectly. Sure, it is easy to switch to AF-C and autobracketing, but I was a bit surprised when I tried to do it the first time in AF-S. It is just an extra step, nothing big, just some minor thing I'd like to be able to have control over myself in any shooting mode.
One very positive aspect of the D70: i-ttl flash.
I shot with the Nikon SB600 for the first time today (got it last friday), after using a manual Sunpak before that. Even with the Lumiquest Ultrasoft dome attached 8 out of 10 exposures are excellent. The 2/10 failures were my fault because I measured the flash light mid scene and shot with a bright object in the foreground. Bit of a blowout now and then on those objects. Can't wait to try it as a slave flash with the onboard flash as commander, could create very interesting stuff at plays.

For me it's the 3 sec. max. exposure on the S602z. What were they thinking for a prosumer camera? Corrected with new S7000, which has 15 sec. max. Doh!
EDIT
found out a few months later you can have 15 ec exposure on full manual mode |
I have that camera, what's annoying is it's a 15 sec exposure and there's also a bulb option, but that too has a max of 15 secs... |

The Fuji FinePix 3800 (and similar cameras, S602Z,S5000 and S7000) has an electronic viewfinder which isn't as crisp and clear as an optical and is almost useless in low light.
Also the maximum exposure of 4 seconds, only available in Night Shot mode. Manual mode never seems to go longer than 1/2 a second.
And there's the lack of any real manual functions anyway (auto focus only, 3 selections for aperature and no manual shutter selection.)
But I still love the 3800 and I knew about those downsides and figured if I wanted to do any real long exposures, I'd just use my old Canon AE-1 35mm. But that recently jammed up. |
You're wrong about the S7000 etc, it has plenty of manual functions and all the functions you'd expect froma prosumer. |

You can do multiple exposure as well - so the 15sec while a PITA is not the true limit.
Now that i have a 300D, what i miss are (or want on the 300)
-macro (can get a lens for this, but for now i don't have it)
-300 is bigger/heavier.
-2 sec timer
also, would like a PC sync socket, higher external flash voltage.
The plusses are numerous!
-lower noise/more iso choices
-no shutter lag
-quicker access to shooting options
-better review/blinking bown out areas
-better manual focus
-quicker zoom
-can use external flash without getting into the menu settings
-faster response when taking many shots in sequence
-better 'sleep' mode. The 602 would eventually turn off completely.
THe biggest thing to adjust to is how quiet the 300 is - when i turned on my 602, and my 1400 before that, the lens would extend when powereed on making noise...the Rebel makes NO noise!

Most people have already said anything that I would have about the Rebel, so I'll just post my 1 cent here by saying that it serves my purposes and has insane versatility for what I use it for. I love this camera.

D2H has had a serious price drop with the arrival of the D2X immeninent, and is selling for $1999 new. Used ones are going for about $1700 on Ebay. But the used market will likely be flooded with very well used examples as soon as the news and sports photogs get their hands on new D2Xs.

| I don't know enough about cameras to complain about mine. I have a little Nikon Coolpix3200..I want the D70..but am far to much of an ameture to take that leap and spend that kind of money..Until then..will suffer with making up for it in software manipulation. Unfortunately, the guidelines in the challenges here don't allow much in the way of software manipulation. Perhaps you would consider adding some more flexibility to the rules. |
