Looking for photos comparible to a 35mm. I bought the D70s last night and now I am wondering if I should exchange it for the D200. According to all of the reviews, the D200 is more intuitive than the D70s. Also, I live in a very humid city and everyone is talking about how well the D200 is sealed (the D70s is plastic). Please let me know your thoughts.

The D200 offers higher frames per second, better sealing, and better AF but from my limited experience with a D200, quality wasnt enough to make me go out and upgrade from my D70s to a D200. I think I will just wear this one into the ground then get what ever is hot on the market at the time, which in 2-3 years I have a feeling that you will be able to get a heck of a lot more camera for your money, and the advancements in DSLRS will be a huge step above the D70s!

When does your return period end? Because this new Nikon D80 (http://www.nikonusa.com/)might move you one step closer to the D200 without paying the D200 price. then again, you might be waiting 2-3 months to even get a D80 anyhow! If the D80 is priced only a few hundred more than what you payed for the D70s it might be worth taking your D70s back and getting the D80!
