....I'm looking to join the rest of the world and upgrade from film to digital. I love my Nikon N65 but can't resist the digital life.
I have decided on a Nikon D50 OR D70 since I can use my lens & zoom lens from my N65.

I was planning on buying (just body) D50 but have found a few "used" D70's at or near the same price of the D50.

Should I stick with buying a new D50 or Used D70?

Also do you know much about KEH camera brokers? They had a D70 for $546 Used. I've been looking local with hope to possibly trade in my old camera but have also looked online.

Thanks

The problem with used cameras is the treatment it has received.
Check both cameras features, to see which one fits you, many review sites have comparisons beetwen the d50 and d70/d70s.

I've been 100% digital for over 3 years now. I have no regrets. If you can afford a D70, I think you'll be very happy and surprised at the quality. I think digital SLR quality is far better than 35mm film.

KEH Is very reputable and their equipment grading is rock solid. I've bought a couple of used Canon AF SLRs from them and a few lenses. If I was going to buy a used digital SLR, I'd go to KEH first.
