You might want to drop a line to this fellow, I have known him (and  
disagreed with with him politically :) for oh - a decade or two.   
Great person to talk to about anything photographic. :)

Also, I am rather partial to the Nikon D40 for all kinds of "regular"  
photos. I don't like the D70/D80's nearly as much for some reason.  I  
like the Konica Maxxum 7D.

YMMV, etc.
