so what say u mr mod?
which would u go for?

me? I have 350D, obviously i'd say go to Canon la.. lol.
Henry's D70s has WB prob.

it's your own decision, i'd prefer bigger LCD, better grip and cheaper lens -> nikon

alrighty, thanks man.
will keep that in mind

shinchan, nairud! thanks for input!
hah!

henry, WB, what's wrong with it? not accurate the WB? u said "i love sharp more than soft"

is the d70s sharp or soft? why? coz of WB?

UPDATE: i'm still waiting for my cousin to get back to me, on whether or not she'll sell d70s to me

Both Canon & Nikon (the lower end models) have difficulty under incandecent/fluorecent light.

So what we do? Either shoot in RAW or fine-tune the setting by shooting a gray card.

If you want the colour straight out of D70 (w/o PP) to be more colourful & vibrant. It can be done via settings. Just set colour mode to III & saturation level to 'enhanced'.

BTW, both Canon & Nikon are equally as competitive. Just pick ur poison.

As for pricing, it's personal. But i like this phrase "it's nothing personal, it's just business".

noted scorgio... however, what's PP? photoshop? ?

another thing, is mirror lock up a benefit? how many of you can actually see the difference btw a camera with / without mirror lock up?

another advantage of d 350d is a better viewfinder compared to the d70s.

still, u can't go wrong with either.

price wise, around 2000 or so below would be the correct pricing. dslrs' life cycle is pretty short nowadays and u getting one of the 2 at the moment would last you about 2 years before it might become obselete

O_o!! how so? how come 350d better viewfinder?
as i read 350d uses pentamirror and d70s uses pentaprism (which i read is better)
when i treid them , i didn't really pay attention to the 'quality' of the viewfinder.

are u talking about the focus points present in the viewfinder? yeah... theni agree..350d has 2 more focus points than d70s.

ahaha i've been reading sommore online, and now, they say d70s is old technooloogy...like the ken rockwell guy, he rather go for d40.

Read more then.... then decide decide decide, D40x comes out, ppl say d40x is better, then you read read read, whoa, D3x comes out, it's better somemore... you read and decide whether you want to buy or not, read read read, then cheaper than D3x body comes out, D80h, ...

ya get what i mean?

but for Nikon D80 and D40 onwards,
the AWB has improved alot

350d has a 0.85 magnification while the the d70s only has a 0.75 one.

there are advantages of the d40 over the d70s, primarily to do with image processing. what it lacks in is a 3 point af, no af for non af-s lenses.

anyway... i LOVE nikon... i LOVE sharp... i LOVE darkside... i LOVE grey but not white... i LOVE err... i LOVE pay less get more...

got budget get la D80, D80 jiao D70s and 350D ma...

well said there

actually there is nothing wrong with the d70s white balance. u go get 1 and i teach u how to set the WB. the most accurate way. not from PP or cs2. but from the camera itself yes u may say the D70s WB is inacurate if u use auto WB.

lol it is not me who says it inaccurate

i thought that is nonac mr. mod who mentioned it

u've got PM...

so.. teach me..
