Do you think there is any value in buying the D70 with the kit lens, or just use the lenses I already have?

Any other must-haves or gotta-haves that you would recommend?

Thanks!
WELL... the DX rating is a designation that it is made to WORK WITH the newer D series cameras(D1X,D1H,D2H,D100,D70) , prior D1, and FILM BODIES.

WHEN I WENT DIGITAL I went from nikon to canon so I stopped following nikon's ever changing system. but I would suggest getting a SC17 off camera cord ;), at least 1- LEXAR 40X/80X 512 CARD, a SECOND BATTERY, the KIT LENS, a 50F1.8(becomes an 80mm)............................................. .........................

THE KIT and CARD will get you started though ;)
