after sending my d70 to the digital doctor i had a call from him saying my focussing problem was .... the aperture control was not engaging .... he is sourcing this part from sydney and this will cost approx. $300 and he will clean the sensor while he has it ... so i hope sydney has got one of them ! the house is sooo quiet when my d70 is gone
cheers rob

Excellent news that it can be fixed, although $300 is a bit
Therefore, we will definitely see you at Gluepot at the end of October.

Good onya mate, i know Lisa here would wish that my D70 went missing as she said i love my camera more and i keep telling her dont ever forget it.LOL
Good news and $300 is better than $7,000 so yeh good to hear mate, just as well you are not picking it up as i said you think his english is bad you should try and find the place.LOL

Yes mate, i will be waiting to see what comes of it i think unless something drastic happens and i need a new camera i will be looking at the D200. Mind you at times i have been near tempted to go and find a canon to try and play with but yeh will bide my time mate.
But will wait to see how it compares and how the ff will turn out.

Adding to this i think if it has the 5fps at 6.8 high speed crop i could live with this as only 3fps at 12.4.

Hey John, I was down in Mt G last week for a short trip, took a drive to Pt McDonnell and Cape whateveritwas, (Northumberland?) - nice place. Is this where people surf? Looks pretty rough and rugged to me, mind you it was blowing a gale.
Do you get plenty of crays down there?
C ya,
Max
