		| | I am looking into buying a D70... I was just wondering if I can use the lenses from my N75 on the D70?  It would save me oodles of money, considering I already have the 28-80mm and the 70-300mm for the N75. 
 Thanks!

 Don't forget about the Crop factor of 1.5x
 
 Your 28-80mm is now a 42-120mm
 Your 70-300mm is now a 105-450mm
 
 Not really an issue up high, but down low it is.

 Yes, they work fine.
 
 They're the ones I'm using right now. You can see some sample pics in 1st pic with the D70 thread.

 So, I will actually get better pictures with higher pixels? I always shoot 1200x1600 or higher?  I am just a bit confused :)

		| | Pixel of camera dont change but  focal lenght  of lens gets changed due to fact sensor of D70 is not full frame, 24x36 ( not sure if this these are correct figure) It means if you  have wide angel lens of 28mm, simply multiply  with 1.5 and it becomes  42mm i.e  from a wide angel  lens  it becomes a not wide angel (i dont what do you call lens in this focal lenght)
 
 It means if you wanted to capture something with wide angel in mind , now  they will be captured @ 42mm resulting in compression of distance
