Nikon d70

I've messed around with my friend's Nikon d70 and as I snapped photos I compared it to my Canon. I can't really say one is better than the other because I had fun shooting with both cameras. I don't know very much about Nikon and it's ba-jillion settings and two different auto-focuses, but I got the hang of it as I snapped pictures of random still-life things around my house.

There are things that I must point out though comparing the d70 to the 20d, xT and xTi.
The only thing that bummed me out about the Nikon d70 is that the lowest iso is 200. I understand that you can barely tell the difference between 100 to 200 in general picture taking. As you start taking photos at night or things that need long exposure, the difference between 100 to 200 can be easily noticed. Other than that, I'm fine with everything else. The Nikon d70 may be a low budget camera(all I've been shooting are low budget cameras), you can still work wonders and create amazing photographs with it. I can get into more depth, but there's really no point in doing so. Here are two photos that the d70 spawned from earlier.
