the dreb can be had for 800 for the kit plus shipping from buydig (a pretty reputable place), so yeah, a better bargain than the d70... but again, the d70 is a tad faster, and build quality is probably better. I don't really like the digital rebels cheap plastic.. makes it feel like their film rebel line.. not the $800 I'm about to plop on it 🙂 Thinking of getting a d30.. but the costs would have been so close, and no warranty.
happy shooting
