Digitals certainly have their advantage. One benefit is that I now have a grandson who will be 1 year this week ... the way he moves it's hard to get a good shot, with digital ya just keep taking them unitl ya got it. Another benefit on digital is environmental concerns .. there is a lot of toxic waste in the processing of film.

Raptor ... I haven't had much of a chance to really try out the D70s, but I can say it is incredibly fast (good for those grandson pics) and the battery holds it power for quite a long time. It is very much like my F80 in features. My son bought a used F3 in Japan a couple of years ago .. good camera, built like a tank.
