Hi,

I have a Nikon D70 that I really like, and now I found a used Nikon D70 body that I am thinking of buying. It's at a camera repair shop, and the guy said that for $25/body, he will install the D70s firmware, which he suggests is much better than the D70.

My inclination is not to do this because I am happy with the D70 that I already have. I would want firmware in the two camera bodies to be the same.

Any suggestions are welcome,
Thanks,
Paula Dittrick

Usually firmware upgrades are worthwhile to do. The D70 upgrade improves the performance of the AF system and changes a few other things. You can easily do it yourself. Just follow Nikon's instructions carefully. Here's a link to the D70 upgrade:
