any of the above mentioned cameras can do what you're wanting to do, so it's basically down to features, ease of use, and systems. both canon and nikon make terrific equipment, period. It really doesnt matter what you get into at this point in technical terms, it's just personal opinion. The canon 350d and the nikon d70s are your best choices for that price. I say go check them out at a store and see how you like their shape, size, and menu navigation. I know alot of people that bought (or plan to buy) the 350d because of its easy to use interface and small size. But on the other hand I also know many people that bought the d70 or d70s because of its advanced features and bulkier feel (i am among those that like big hefty cameras). I say go check them both out and pick which one feels better.
on a side note, the 350d does have a slight edge on noise. The image quality is terrific from both cameras, but the canon sensor does a better job at dealing with high ISOs. you'll want to keep that in the back of your mind if you think you might do any photojournalism in low light situations. If you dont mind using flash, it's not quite as big of a problem, and nikon's flash systems are better than canon's.
