Good: I like the ergonomic features to the camera, it fits in your hands perfectly and is not too heavy and not too light!
Bad: 6 megapixels, could have gone up to 8, but no big deal!
Comment: It takes excellent pictures and was announced best digital photo for an SLR under £600!
As a professional photographer I would definitely give it a 9, it is simple, it has great well worked modes and takes excellent pictures!

Good: Very fast start-up compared with compact digital cameras. Larger size makes it easy to use.
Bad: No memory card in kit. Hard to establish which flashgun to buy.
Comment: Good all-round camera, easy to use with enough dedicated buttons to find the features without diving into menus every 3 seconds. The write-ups say it is made of plastic but it doesn't feel like it. It feels very robust in use and well balanced in the hand.

Good: Versatile, chunky but lightweight, raw file option
Bad: Small viewfinder compared with my old Olympus, no depth-of-field preview
Comment: Very glad I bought this camera. Excellent results with the preset modes, and lots of versatility in the manual and semi-manual modes. I opted for the 18-70 DX lens which is the standard kit lens for the D70, since it appears to be much better than the 18-55 which normally comes with the D50. Now I just need to add a 70-300 and I've got a real kit.
