Aren't you guys ashamed of your javascript skills?The "on mouse over" behavior for ISO?00 works only in IE. Great... get your paycheck from m$ or what?

Thanks for all the kind comments! The D70 is certainly a great contender, but it can't beat the price of the Rebel XT.ksherman - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 - link
you know, everytime you do a camera review, I end up using at least one of the pictures on my computer... your stop sign from the first guide to taking photos if my picture on my xanga site, and now the nihgt time picture of the building in long exposure has just replaced my desktop!seriosly, you take some really neat pictures! Keep up the good work!

I just bought a Rebel XT a few days ago, but can't use it cause I'm waiting for my CF card lol. Anyways nice review, I am glad I got the camera, can't wait to take some pictures!!!NFS4 - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 - link
You'll have to pry my D70 away from my cold dead hands.apriest - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 - link
I'm a Nikon D70 fan myself (I own one). I'll admit, Canon has made a great camera for the price here. If you already own Canon glass, it's a great entry level pro-sumer digital camera, or a great backup camera. If you don't already have an investment of lenses however, I think the Nikon D50, D70, or D70S is a better bargain. The D70 is a difficult camera to beat without spending a LOT of dough. Very good review of the 350D though, thanks.salimpepo - Wednesday, January 2, 2013 - link
