    It's ridiculous to state that the D70 would afford the inexperienced user greater learning curve. It's contrary to reason. These (particular) cameras are build in the light of classic SLR cameras--they're not point and shoot systems.

    The buttons are in different places. So how does this effect understanding/learning photography?

    Mechanically and in a practical/traditional sense they're identical. Buying either or isn't going to make understanding photography any easier for the inept user.

    This, without mentioning that lens technology is equally important to understand if the photographer want's to produce results outside the realm of, "point and shoot". Further more, the fact that a camera hasn't the capacity to understand and control (or recognize) light, and it's effect on end results.

    The back and forth is no more than prejudice in favor of or against a particular camera system. I have a Canon EOS 20D. I'm a believer that Canon has and continues to lead Digital SLR technology--this doesn't change the fact that Nikon systems produce richer (better?) color.

    When someone says something is better, it's usually just their opinion.
