TPF Noob!
i'm new here, so please don't get annoyed if i put this thread in the wrong section or what not.
i'm looking for a new digital-slr, and i'm also looking for some help. i've heard a lot of good things about nikon, especially the D70. i read an article about the D70 vs. the D100, and it scratched the D100 out of my picture. i've tried to do as much research as i could, but once the D70 got put into my mind, i can't get it out.
i'm willing to look into other companies, but i must admit that (from what i've seen) nikon has a very good selection of lens', and a lot of them are lens' that i am facinated with. such as their fisheye lens (which is a must-have for me, because i'll be shooting a lot of skateboarding), and their macro lens' are great too.
another thing: i currently own an olympus OM1 (a film slr), and someone told me that i should look into getting an olympus because then i could use the lens' on both of them, but i don't know if that's completely accurate. if i were to get an olympus digital slr (i don't even know if olympus makes digi-slr's), would i be able to share lens' with the two cameras?
any suggestions? a different nikon? a different company? is the D70 a good choice? i'm willing to pay as much as the D70, and maybe even a few hundred more. any help would be highly appreciated.
