Don't get me wrong, the *istD makes me happy but it's not something that I would take to amusement park or on a casual day. I guess I should just need to allot some more photography time in my schedule:p.

I really like my *istD, I had some KA glass before which is why I got it and it works perfectly with it, feels great in my hands (unlike the DReb which was unwieldy for me). Got the DA16-45 with the $200 rebate and am considering getting the DA14. I haven't had any issues with it and all my photographs have been great (for my skill level). But that doesn't keep me from wanting that faster write speed and larger buffer that you D70 owners have:D

But now I have a camera for every occasion, a Sony U40 for my take everywhere cam, a Canon A75 for when I think I'll want some pics, and my Pentax *istD for when I need to take pics.

How do you like the D70? In particular, is moire a much of a problem as it is made out to be? I know reviewers and DP peeps make a huge fuss over it but is it noticable in real life prints?

i think ive seen it in like 2 of almost 3000 photos, is a total NON issue, only appears in the Jpeg modes under high compression, i shoot in RAW sn its either not there or fixed with 2 clisks in PS, It takes amazing pic and is 1 hell of a camera, rugged, fast, great deatures.... I love it, im a nikon dude so i might be biased

the pics on my site www.rootminus1.com/photo are mostly from the D70
