I have a D70 and am very happy with it.
I shoot hundreds of pictures at each photo session and after that's done I review them on my computer at home, choose the best ones, combine parts if necessary and print out a few 8x10's on my printer at home to show the client.
Then I print out the reference I will be using at the size it will actually be in the painting, modify the color and contrast where needed, and start to work.
Yes, ink is very expensive but I couldn't do without the flexibility I get from digital. I can shoot far more photos than I would with film, I can see what I've shot seconds after the photo is taken, and I can make lots of digital changes in Photoshop. I'll never go back to film.
