Ummmm.....what about spot metering and fast flash sync ?

The D70 is an anomaly in terms of the fast flash sync, even the D2X doesn't
have the fast flash sync. It's a real advantage to the D70, but it wasn't
like Canon decided to decontent it out of the EOS-350D in order to get
people to go to a model that has it.

The spot metering is a real issue. I don't know if the Canon processor can't
do it, or what. It isn't in the 20D either.

The lack of mirror lock-up is just decontenting. They do lock up the mirror
for sensor cleaning, so the capability is there.
