Pros Very fast, solid build quality, excellent image quality, and very good battery life
Cons Images slightly soft at default settings and No USB 2.0
Recommended it? Yes

Canon's EOS D350/Digital Rebel XT was a revolutionary re-design of the original Rebel, but Nikon's new D70s is more an evolutionary update of the dLSR that POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY magazine chose as it's CAMERA OF THE YEAR in 2004.

UPDATE 11/26/2009: I've owned this camera for over a year now, and I can only say that I'm still thrilled by it.
