new digital camera SLR NEW QUESTION 3: Which Camera to Buy? Help! I was all set to buy the Rebel D and went to a photo store and was told that the new Nikon D70 was much better. I was a bit unsure how much of what the employee told me was true but basically he said it was faster, clearer, had many more options and the photos could be enlarged much larger. I currently use the Rebel 2000 and have several lenses although none that were too expensive. Was this guy just trying to sell me the camera of the day or was he right? Thanks! - Sue CarterANSWER 1: Hi Sue, Well, the Nikon D70 will have more resolution and various other improvements which were not present in the Canon Digital Rebel. So the employee wasn't trying to sell you the camera of the day. The thing is, several new cameras are coming out recently which have better resolution and such. Since you have Canon lenses, you would be better served getting the Rebel and then selling it and upgrading to the newer Canon digital body. That way, you get to make use of your existing set of lenses. - Wing Wong I found this question and answer very interesting! I am going to buy a digital SLR in the next month or so. You said that there are several new cameras’ coming out that have better resolution than Canon’s Rebel. Can you tell me in your opinion which camera has better resolution and features than the digital Rebel? What do you personally think of the Nikon D 70?

The D70 body will be ~$100 more expensive than the DRebel. With 18-70DX it will be about $300 more than the DRebel with 18-55. In price and function, it splits the difference between the DRebel and the 10D. I have read nothing that indicates that the 6 mp sensor of the D70 will have any higher resolution than the 6 mp sensors of the D100, DRebel, or 10D. If you have an EOS SLR, lenses, flash, etc., it only makes sense to switch to a Nikon/Olympus/... digital SLR if you are really unhappy with it, or plan to abandon film completely.
