Goodbye D70

[Justin]

You've served me well - the photo courses, the trip to china, europe. My photography has improved 1000% while you have been with me, and I still would not claim to know 2% of your potential - I've never bracketed you, with either exposure or white balance. I still do not know what I do not know about you! Imagine what Henri-Cartier or Ansell Adams could have created with your assistance. I only recently took your advice to be more hands-on and the brave plunge into fully manual exposures, a scary challenge. But you ensured that I didn't give up but came back and kept enjoying this strange art of capturing moments in time. I didn't always agree with you, sometimes you are moody and a bit darker or lighter than what I see, but I have borne your moods and you have rewarded me well. You've never let me down and you've never complained about the rough treatement

But now I am ready for a new curve, so some lucky soul will now experience the highs and lows of DSLR photography and I hope to guide them on this road with what I have learnt about you and what some of your possibilities are.

Thanks D70.

What happened to it???

New D2Xs to come??

[Justin]

Sold, saw a better model so it's yesterdays camera

No, I have sold to a good friend, have a D200 on order, I have to give him the D70 tomorrow, so I am having a sad, quiet moment packing up the D70 which I wanted to share.

[phillipb]

Well, at least your old D70 can't accuse you of being a 2-timer.

[elffinarts]

unlike a wife, a D70 never complains that you spend a lot of time with another camera.

Watch it elffinarts! Be careful there.

Justin, I too am aiming towards a D200. I envy you.

you put your faith in maxwells or birdy? could be a boring few months if its maxwell stock

[Justin]

Faith in Birdy, absolutely. I am going to be without a camera from today!

[Justin]

It's gone.. and will spend a while in full-auto I expect... sigh...

[elffinarts]

Watch it elffinarts! Be careful there.

funnily enough that joke was blurted at me by my wife
