Advantages: quality, ease of use

Disadvantages: hard to think of!

My D70s proved a brilliant successor to my old F80 35mm. With controls and features as similar as they can be on these two cameras. Its weight and body size are not in the league of the most recent SLR's, neither is the processor as fast or the number of megapixels as high. However the focus and exposure controls are faultless for this class of camera, the battery lasts for a very, very long time, and let's face it, modern cameras with 15+ megapixels are wasted if the lens is not of sufficient quality to exploit this. So this Digital SLR with 6MP takes fantastic photos with my nikkor lenses. Also this is a sturdy camera, mine has been on construction sites and up mountains, getting considerable knocks and jolts along the way, with no adverse effects, it can store pictures in unprocessed (RAW) format to tinker with later (white balance etc.). Since these are now available second hand at very reasonable prices they are an unbelievable opportunity for anyone to get their hands on a top notch DSLR.
