D70s worth an extra $350 over D50?

Mar 24, 2006

I have a credit at Ritz. They are selling the D70s for 899 and D50 for 549 both body only. Are there really any reasons that I would spend the extra $350 for the D70s?

I already have an 18-200 VR on the way. Just contemplating which body to go with.

The way I see it, is by the time I become a decent photographer, I will probably want something in the D200 range.

Hoping for some thoughts so I can just go ahead and make a decision.

Thanks
