have you got a pic i can see from it?
) and Clart with his D40 & D50.No, they will both produce great pics, it all depends on what lenses you want! With the D70 you can get a wider range, including older lenses. With the D40 you need AFS Nikon lenses or Sigma HSM lenses.
There are a lot of lenses for the D40, they do cost more. But saying that, a lot of the most popular lenses that people buy (sigma 10-20, 30mm, nikon 18-55, nikon 55-200, 18-200, 70-300) all have AFS or HSM.
If you intend to buy older lenses and prime lenses your better off with the D70.
My set up is simple... D40 + 18-200 + Sigma 30mm.
Anyway... enough of my ramble!

Do some research, find out how many shutter acutations it's had, what condition is it in?
The D70 is a better camera than the D40 in my opinion. Older though.

it seems to perform better on the indoor shots....but the outdoor shots it seems equal. I much prefer my D70s over the D40 i had before. The ergonomics are so much better, Top LCD and the extra weight really helps when you start attatching longer/heavier lenses.

exactly the same as they both have AF motors in the body.

Also the D70 has the i-TTL feature which allows you to use a nikon SB-600/800 flash off the camera. (sb-800 will control other sb-600s aswell)
d70 is FAR from pro... i own and use nikon d2x thats a pro camera...
d70 is the amature level well thats what its aimed at the amature that wants to progress... the semi pro camera that was about when the d70 was out was the d100
current listings would be
d60 beginer
d80 amature
d300 semi pro
d3 pro
however saying that i know pro's that use d80's as back up cameras and a really good pro i know who uses a hassy h3d uses a nikon d40 also lol... he has a 30k+ camera and uses the d40 more lol!
I was merely trying to emphasize the difference. Of course it isn't like that.
