D70 has no mirror lockup too la. the one in its options is only for cleaning purposes.
 The main differences is that the D70S can finetune WB, has 1/3 stop increments in ISO (D50 is in full stops) and the D70S' inbuilt flash has commander mode. Oh, CF vs SD too. I'd go for the D70S if only for the CF support. |

QUOTE(mr-2 @ Apr 6 2006, 06:52 PM) The D50 AF-S DX 18-55mm ED kit lens is not all that bad. It focuses reasonably fast and silently for a budget lense. It's sharp and doesn't have as much distortion at 18mm wide compare to the D70 kit lens AF-S DX 18-70mm. Please, not Ken Rockwell. You find more info of D50 at : D50 Review But if you have the $$$. Go for the D70s lah. I am saving up to upgrade pretty soon.    |

QUOTE(cfyung85 @ Apr 12 2006, 03:17 PM) 2nd...the min aperture value for 18-70mm is 3.5-4.5 do you plan to get a closeup filter? that thing wont do macro on its own. for 18-55mm is 3.5-5.6...in my opinion kinda not so good for makro shots since the min f at 55mm is only 5.6. btw max aperture is mostly irrelevant in macro photography because most of the time you'd want MORE dof, not less.  macro lenses are designed to be sharpest stopped all the way down to minimum aperture.
