The D70 is generally regarded as an upgrade compared with the D100, which has very few extra features compared with the new camera. MLU, grip ... the D70 is faster ...

Hi,

This article from Maxwell Optical may shed some information on your choice:
http://www.maxwell.com.au/products/niko ... 0_d70.html

But then, I agree that the D70 is considered an upgrade to the D100. Considering that you are now in New York and is about to purchase a camera, its no point for me to suggest to wait for the successor to the D100 (D200) which is supposedly to be announced at September.

Cheers.
