    Poor auto-focus? I don't think any camera these days have such a problem. :think:

    Yeah, LCD screens that can rotate are very useful.

    Hi Guys, one of my collegue is offering me NIkon D70 which is 2 years old. One thing I know is the camera is been discontinued by the manufacture.
    May I know is it worth getting it now? on top of that im a noob and new bees in this SLR thingy..so plan to start at low first.

    Ahh.. That's the DSLR most of Team ARP started with. :mrgreen:

    It's not a bad camera to start with, and it comes with a good kit lens - the 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6. You should be able to get the whole kit at a very low price. :thumb:

    Yup, if it's around low RM1K, then it's quite worth it.

    Frankly speaking, you should not worry too much about the camera body itself if you are going into DSLR.

    First, you have to decide which system you wanna go with. Unless you are really LICH heh.. you will want to stick with one system. Using multiple systems can be a real headache and cost you a lot of money because the lenses and bodies of different systems are just not compatible.

    That's why DSLR companies are introducing really cheap DSLRs to hook people into their systems. Heh.. Once you buy a few lenses, it will be quite hard for you to switch. :D

    So i change to D40 :) with a whole set of 7 month of warranty left

    The D40 is a good choice too. Better than the D40X.

    D70 is a wiser choice if you plan to buy a lot of older AF lenses.

    RM1.2K is actually not too bad, especially with the lens.
