Two of the outstanding images I shot at YYZ.

No delay with the D-70. I put it through the test yesterday at YYZ and banged away the images just like film, only I shot four more images of every aircraft than I normally would. The auto focus was flawless and never failed me even when I was focusing on an aircraft a mile back. I mostly used my Nikon 70-300mmED lens. All of the point and shoot digital cameras have a shutter lag. This puppy is built for action and is highly recommended. One problem I did encounter was I already have two specs of dust on the CCD. Easily fixed in Photoshop but annoying none the less. I will look into the best way of cleaning a CCD when I talk to my Nikon rep on Monday. This is an area I want to be really careful. The D-70 can also use three CR2 batteries in a back up which is a nice option in a pinch.

I will post some of the images from YYZ soon.

Nice, thanks Airic. I was hoping the newer Digital SLR's would solve that issue, and now we know at least Nikon has.

Scott,

As well, the digital SLRs are at least formatted to a 4x6 ratio unlik the point and shoot digitals.
