I think it's time to make the transition to "guilt-free" photography.

My question now is about the features of the camera. I have grown accustomed to the ammenities of the N80. Does the D70 have similar features to the N80? I know it has Depth of Field preview which is most important. Can the remote be configured to behave like a cable release? Holding the shutter open for say, 30 seconds or so?

Im just wondering if anyone has "upgraded" to the D70 from the N80 and if they actually felt it was an upgrade, or whether the D70 is lacking some of the features of the N80.

Thanks everyone!

BTW:
Does anyone know what the most significant advantages of the D70s are over the original D70?
I have the N80 and the D70. They very similar but a few differences come to mind:

- there are many more customisable features on the D70
- the viewfinder on the D70 seems smaller
- the D70 is much heavier and seems more solid

The D70s has a real cable release, unlike the D70 (I'm still waiting for my D70 IR control to arrive).
