should i buy D70?

nikonsiao · 27th September 2004

After reading guilt is wriiten all over my face by Zorro18...i decided to take a look at the mirror myself....do i need a D70?
Recently followed a friend to buy his Sigma SD10 so took chance to ask shopkeeper to show me D70.i felt exactly what Zorro felt...words can't describe it..it would not be fair to D70. i currently have 2 analog cameras..a F75 and F65.( i using my fav F75 most of the time) so i would like to ask everyone whether is there a need to buy buy buy????? a D70? i am having sleepless nights thinking of this question. i keep giving myself excuses to buy a D70.1) no need to wait for film developing time.
2) no need to wait money buying film.
3) instant playback on LCD.
4) shorten learning process.
So what do you guys think???? Should i or should i not?

nikonsiao of couse buy lah

zorro18 · 27th September 2004

NS, if you dun buy, then u need to explain to all the Nikon supporters here why u use this nick.

I have nothing to say to you except for 1 word......

B U Y !

Do not procrastinate, I repeat, do not waste your time trying to convince/justify why you shuld not buy because.......................at the end of the day, you will lose the battle and succumb to the beauty of the D70...
Do not resist, resistance is futile......
Just surrender ....instead of spending days pondering; u can use these 2 days savouring over the D70....
I have learnt my lesson, dun be like me......buy today...buy NOW !!!!

buy if you are really going to use it, otherwise depreciation will set in and make your camera in the dry box dirt cheap.. look at what happened to D30/60.

however if you are an ah-sia-kia, just ignore my reply

Here's my suggestion:

Sell off one of your analog cameras (maybe the F65), and use the moolah to help you buy the D70. Trust me, you will not regret it.

So Garion, when is your turn to sell away your system to join the dark side?
Thought that you suppose to change system by now?

nikonsiao · 27th September 2004

Looks like Buying is the option...one more thing...read and heard about D70 having problems....how? how to know its the latest batch? where to buy? market price about $2050.Can i use my existing lenses? Do i really need the special lenses(DX) for Digital use? the range is smaller becos have to multipy 1.6x right?

Will going for NC help?
Will the launch of D2X bring the price down???
