Amazon UK have the Nikon D70 kit with two different lenses, which one's the best to go for?
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm Lens @ £709.99
AF-G Zoom Nikkor 28-80mm Lens @ £629.99
Thanks.

18-70, but i would just buy the body and get a descent lens, a 3.5-4.5 aperture is the part i dont like

I prefer myself the Cybershot 828...better definition of the image & just the thing you need...carl Zeis Lens

I'd love a D70, it's a big beast though isn't it. I was working with a photographer yesterday who had the Canon/nikon D1 – it's a cracker. £4500 though.

Just replaced my Canon 300D with 20D... An amazing camera...
But if you go for the D70 on Amazon, I would also go for the 18-70 lens...

i'd wait if i were you, nikon is going to update the D70 in a month or so... i don't know the specs, but for the money it might be worth it wait.

go for the 18mm
that way it will compensate for the optical multiplication that comes with digital SLR and you will be able to have a close to 35mm

the nikon has a 1.5 magnification, so you'd be at about 27mm from an 18mm lens.
also, i hear the nikon kit lens is really nice... much nicer than the crap lens from canon

Definitely 18-70, it's a very good lens and you'll miss the wide angle with the other one.
D70s is coming, it'll be a minor upgrade. Also a cheap D50 is on the way. http://forums.dpreview.com/forum…
As for sony 828, its image quality can't match this of D70 or drebel noise-wise and you're stuck with just one lens..Personally I don't like the D70, it's too big for me. I'm getting a Pentax *istDS

But if Nikon's your choice, try here, I've read good reviews about this store: http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/…

i have a d70 w/18-70 lense. It's pretty versatile for a begginer lense for that camera.

Nice might push down the price of the original d70.
