But those dials are awfully thin... I wish they would make them thicker.... I have fairly large hands and in order to spin the front and back dial comfortably the camera grip would have to be a good inch thicker. Right now I have to shift my grip from front to back and vice versa depending on what dial I need to get at. Kind of hard to do while keeping your index finger on the shutter button. I also wish the two switches for changing the exposure pattern and exposure compensation were on the left side. Right now I have to bend my fingers backwards over the top of the camera to hit them and spin the dial at the same time. But I'll say this much. The D70 is an awful lot of camera for the price and the image quality is top notch. Feli ________________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net 2 + 2 = 4 www.elanphotos.com
