Thanks guys, just checked dpreview website and noticed the aperture is controlled with the front sub-command dial, so my lenses are good to go. I'm sure by the time I can afford the D70, the price will have dropped and the new model will hit the streets.

If anyone is interested, the D70 has a $100 rebate going on until I believe the end of the month.

I just picked up the D70 this afternoon from BestBuy. They're having a promotion where there's no payments or interest for 25 months. Of course, a year after it's paid off, I'll be looking to get a 12mp Nikon!

Good luck Jimmy. I came across this site the other day. Maybe it'll help you to set things up initially. http://members.aol.com/bhaber/D70/lessons.html

Thanks Marvin, I'll be sure to look it up. I've already fiddled with it and the pics look nice, hopefully I'll get a chance to use it soon seriously.
