To Frannymac,
Rest assured that I will give some feedback on the camera to everybody here when I will have played enough with it to be decently accustomed to it. When you say "how large" I assume that you are reffering to enlarged prints from a lab. I can't say when I will have my first print mades with the D70 but I will share my impressions here as well.
To Paulnj,
Wow, you make me feel stupid right now!! lol I have always assumed that the autofocus motor was directly part of the lense and not built in the camera body. Actually this make me wonder why so many people claim that Canon lenses have the fastest AF over any other brand at that point in time. Since the motor is in the camera my understanding is that any third party lenses for a Canon should autofocus just as fast...
I sure expect the Tamron to clearly outperform the G type Nikkor lense which is why I have choosen that very lense at the first place. I am curious to directly compare both of them though.
Best regards to both of you guy's
Seb
