Hi
Longtime Minolta Dimage A2 and Nikon D70 owner. I just sold my D70 and although I really wanted a 20D I had to settle for a near new and mint used 10D and all I can say is it is exquisite. Hold my old Nikon and the 10D side by side and the 10D is quite a bit more solid. The cheap plastic on my old D70 is aparent even the D70 guys always say it is extremely high quality plastic, blah blah.. Of course if I post this on the D70 board I will get flamed 100 times and whipped to boot..
There is allot of very very hostile immature anti Canon rhetoric on the D70 board to the point of being really insane. Since I have been considering "jumping ship' I have perused this board for quite some time and I can honestly say there is a different level of civility and knowledge on this board. Actually the same can be said on the Minolta board too. Anyways, just thought I would drop in and say, woo hoo !
BTW, I bought the cam with the new SIGMA 18-125mm f3.5 DC lense and all I can say is this thing KICKS the sh*& out of my old 18-70 kit lense on my old D70..For a so called "cheap" lense its one of the best I have ever used as a general walk around and full time lense, sharp at all ends and is compact.
Cheers
