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

For me, those are far more useful than mirror lock up.

For me.

Which is why the D70 is the best choice for you.

That seems to be the thing everyone forgets in these conversations -
that one isn't always superior and the other is junk. There are many
aspect to consider and you have to choose the combination of features
and quality you want. Certainly the 350XT will be a better choice for
some, the D70 a better choice for others.

That said, the comparison was crap, so if there's any bickering it's
mostly due to that.
