Currently I am using a Nikon D70 digital SLR camera. I bought it back in the fall of 2005 after the Nikon Coolpix 995 digital camera was knocked off a table accidently. To get if fixed was going to cost more then what the camera was worth. I then realized I could afford a Nikon digital SLR for a couple of reasons. One, Nikon D70/70s bodies on eBay were going for less than $700 and, two, since I had a Nikon film SLR system, I wouldn’t have to invest in new lenses.

Since 2005, I have accumulated a nice system including a Nikon SB-600 Speedlight and the following Nikon (except where noted) lenses:

• 50mm f/1.8D AF
• Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX Wide Angle Zoom
• 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom
• 70-200mm f/2.8 ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom
• 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED AF VR Zoom

For those of you who own a D70/70s, here are some very useful links I found in getting the best photographs directly out of the camera:
