Just a note on manual focusing. I am used to focusing manually and my F501 has a big view finder that provides the clarity. When I tried to use my friend's D70S, it was horrible. The view finder is small. It's really hard to tell if I am at the right focus and I am usually off. That forces me to use the auto focus, which I have a hard time using when I am trying to do macro shots.
I think I should just invest in a film scanner instead.
