if you're looking for action sequence stay away from the D70... its only 3 fps, that pretty slow for skate action photog.
i talked to j. grant brittain awhile back when he was photo editor over at TWS and he told me about 90% of skate shots in the mag were shot using a med format camera being that they can lug a lot of gear around. he also said he figured they were about 2 years away from running a full page digi shot and he thinks the future will be digi, we're just not quite there yet.
unfortunately if you want fast shutter speed in a digi cam you're gonna have to pay for it... the most affordable option i have seen is the Canon EOS 20D with 8.5mp and 5fps or the Nikon DH2 at 8fps but only has 4.3mp.
I'm really itching to buy a Nikon digi body to go with my Nikon F5 35mm body and lenses but i don't feel the cameras are quite where they need to be yet. I still prefer to shoot 35mm for all my snowboard, mtn. bike and skate action photography.
