    My birthday is coming up and I commented about how much I loved these to my dad who has one, so he, being the coolest dad ever, got me one...

    I assume the jealousy caused you to make this joking comment.

    It came with a lens as part of the package. It's a D70. It kicks ass!

    Not bad...for a Nikon. :) A lot of my friends have the D70.

    I have the Canon Digital Rebel and love it, plus it was cheaper. They are now out the the Digital Rebel XT.

    What I REALLY want is the Canon 20D. I just don't have the extra cash these days.

    Nice Camera Jeff.

    I almost bought one but opted for the Digital Rebel to save some cash.

    I have a Nikon Cool Pix 5000 that takes great photos so I'm sure your D70 does the same.

    The best thing about stepping up to a digital SLR is "bye bye shutter lag"

    This was the best accessory I've bought for the Rebel...

    For nature shots, I love to go out to Brazos Bend State Park.

    The biggest problem with a digital SLR (or any SLR for that matter) is that you will very soon start lusting after better, faster, and longer reaching lenses.

    Now I'm jealous.

    I have an EOS 10D, and my best lens is a 400mm--but it's the slowest one Canon offers......it was all I could afford.

    My uncle (dad's brother) lives in Alabama and has an entire room in his house just for his camera bodies and lenses. He has a couple of Hasselblad's, tons of lenses going all the way up to a Nikor 1200 mm. It's unreal.

    My dad's 500 is definitely his best lens. He has a few Nikor's but a lot of Tokina's and others of a lower-price range. Not sure how much the 500 set him back, but it was a LONG time ago when he bought it.

    One of the coolest cameras he has, IMO, is his Niknonos for shooting underwater. He got it 25+ years ago and it is still in perfect working order in or out of the water.
