Very nice All you D70 owners are making me envious! I am
definitely thinking about joining the D70 club now my 4 year old
Coolpix 990 is approaching retirement (it has served me incredibly
well).

I'm curious, how much did you pay for it? Did you get the lens too?
I was recently in NZ and know someone who is going over there again
soon so I was thinking about trying to get it duty free... Not sure
what the deal is but I'd like to get some idea of prices...

Thanks,

Stephen

Stephen,

Paid NZ$2,800 for it with the kit lens (ouch). Thats US$1,800 - but it's like a citizen of the USA paying US$2,800 in "purchasing power parity" terms. Accountants don't get paid so much in NZ, and I am still only earning 70% of what I was earning in the UK. . . but paying less tax.

Great shots Bruce, I really like #2, the driftwood.
Thats what I like about this camera, the more I use and get to know
it, the better my pictures get, you must be very happy with your
new toy. I have been asked to photograph for our friends who are
christening thier daughter on Sunday and I cant wait to give it a
good workout.

Thanks Andy. . . yes I am extremely happy with it - and it does take MUCH better pictures than the S50. I should be able to "grow" with it for a long time.

Hi Bruce!
The scenery is nearly as good in NZ as it is here in Tassie ;-)
I reckon my honeymoon will be over in the Land of the Long White
Cloud though. I'll have to pop the question first ;-)

Hi Nick,

We have some great places in NZ all right. We cannot wait to see Oz. . . I recently returned home to NZ after 12 years in the UK - came back with an English wife and young family. She is very keen to see Australia, but we are doing the South Island first (next April). I have always wanted to see Tasmania - a photographers paradise. . . but it's a bit out of the way.

THANKS Bruce!

Any 100% crops or full sized images may really be more useful.

Especially that lovely pebbled seascape.

Thanks in advance!

Joe,

I won't be able to get much computer time for a while now. My wife is complaining about being a D70-widow and says it's her turn on the computer for a few nights!

I cannot seem to find the ISO rating on the EXIF data. I've noticed
this missing on my photos too.

Am I missing it somewhere?

I beleive the ISO is in the 'MAKERNOTE' data portion of the EXIF
header. The makernote data format varies from mfg to mfg so many
EXIF readers ignore it.

... this is totally non-standard behaviour. Nikon, sort it out!
