My N*kon D70 (from eBay) arrived today. First impressions:

When the seller said like new - she meant like NEW. Upon close 
inspection you can tell the camera has been handled, but it really is 
like new, including all original packaging and such. Very nice.

Man this thing is big! - Compared to my OM-4 it seems very big. 
compared to a lot of other digital bodies it really isn't.

This thing is a lot lighter than it looks. The D70 feels very light 
for it's size, and in fact is not a lot heavier than the OM-4t.

Man does this thing have a LOT of buttons and dials! Not counting the 
shutter button  I count 3 switches, 1 muliti switch, 3 dials, and 15 
buttons! I may have even missed some! It will be interesting to see 
if I can figure out how to run this damn thing! So far I have managed 
to load the battery and memory card and actually snap a picture or two.

With all of the buttons and gizmos the thing has no aperture ring on 
the lens. Guess I will have to read the manual to figure out how to 
change the aperture on the thing!

It's a brave new world out there!
