Oh no... I hope not to hear that you will go back to cheap Sony's compact digital camera. I would love to collect junk camera.

Call nikon and ask how much the bottom plate is...

If you check out the websites dedicated to IR conversions, I think that thing is really easy to replace... even easier than removing the whole sensor...

It'll be good as new... the water usually doesnt do squat...

Sheesh, Daniel, you need to distinguish between a camera and a hammer!

What are you replacing it with?

Hah the camera is fine Check out the pictures made at Bumbershoot:
https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/276605

And thanks for the 50 people from FM that pmed and emailed me asking for first dibs on a D70 being given away...

And the base piece is extremely easy to remove -- its harder to remember what screws go where

I am going to keep it until the shutter dies, then I will replace it with hopefully a D200 or D2H.

It was supposed to be a self-parodying post of sorts. Sorry to all those that were misled.

I wasn't misled...


I've been following your on-going D70 saga and growth as a photographer.

You're doing nice work.

Wouldn't hurt to be a LITTLE more careful with your equipment, though

Hey Daniel, too bad it isn't a D100. When it finally dies you could disassemble it and take some snaps of it with your new D2X and post them. Then we could all see how much metal is really in that bad boy.

Keep up the good work!

I took this photo of someone we might know, plotting how to get into the fountain with a D70 without getting it wet. Anyone know who it might be, and what might be underneath his non-waterproof shirt?

Oh, I found another one -- "Some people play it safe by sitting on the side of a fountain with zooms. Our tazo gets right in there and isn't afraid to get dirty (or wet) while making the shot.
