    I love my Nikon D70 (especially since I used hotel points to buy it), but for every shot I get that others don't have a chance because of shutter speed or ability to use another lens, there's one that I missed because I didn't consider lugging out my camera bag for some event.

    I don't get it. You're saying that your inability to bring your equipment is somehow your digital camera's fault?
