Yes night shots at high ISO - with Nikon there is an advantage to keeping long exposures limited, because of amp noise but then Im sure you knew that...

I said that in 2 years time you will have APS-C pushing 15MP with clean images at ISO 800.
In the same time Full frame will push 30MP with same image quality at same ISOs(maybe even better). |
Hey, be my guest, you're welcome to pick all the holes you want in your arguments

good for you. I started my photography with a film p&s Minolta. Over the years I've bought all the equipment I want not because it makes me a better photographer (I still think that some of pictures from that Minolta were damn good) but because it helps me get the shot I want. Equipment after all is just that - equipment.
And yes, I have posted some pictures.

I agree with you completely on this.

Good decision - the D70 is a much more capable body than the D40, 40x, 60. Although when it comes to trading it in, waiting may not be a good idea. I thought I'd do the same with my D70s and guess what a shop in Canada told me I'd get for it? $250 tops. The trade was just not worth it. I decided to keep the body and continue using it.

You dont realise the limitations of the 40D image untill you see the images on the 1Ds. |
Thanks for replying. I guess if the difference is that obvious in the way you view your pictures, FF is warranted.
