D70 pics for those that may be interested.

Hi Antonio thanks for your coments.
I had seen those concert pics earlier today on the D70 forum.

I agree with you that the kit lens and the S7000 lens are probably similar in sharpnes. I have been looking at some of those 2.8 lenses but they are a bit expensive! I must confess that I have got my eye on one but not for a few more months yet.

In the next few weeks I will buy a 50mm F1.4 lens and I will then do some comparisons with the kit lens for sharpnes. If I can see and improvement in the sharpnes over the kit lens then I will go ahead and purchase one of the F2.8 70 to 200 zooms. If I cannot see much of a difference then I may have to re think that rather expensive F2.8

When doing night shots the kit lens does flare up more than the s7000 lens as I had many night pics that flares from bright lights that were just out of the frame, were as when I took night shots with the S7000 a few months ago there was hardly any lens flare.
The night shot pics with the d70 are much better than what I got with the s7000.
Thanks for your input
Chao!
Jose

They are all very nice, the pelican in flight is super,
congratulations Jose.

However I think pics taken with kit lens don't show such a big
difference with S7000.

Here are some pics of a concert that would be impossible to take
with an s7000, but they are taken with Nikon 70-200 VR lens (1600$)

What is the budget to allocate for really fine results with D70?

The zoomed nightshot is really far out, I love night pics. Is there any way to duplicate this effect on the 602? I guess it may be possible with multiple image and some deft PS work.
All the pics are lovely, specially swallows,ducks and aeroplane.
looks like you are having great fun
