OK camera gurus..
I am in the "learning curve" on the D70s. Surprisingly, it can be fairly simple, or you can go completely custom with it. I took some inside shots yesterday under fluorscent lighting (little girls gymnsatics meet) and it did pretty well. This thing is really smooth! I can see another lens in my future. The one that came with it (18-70) is great for all around stuff, but I'm afraid on these longer inside shots its not going to be enough.
I will probably need to be around at least 200mm, probably 300 in order to get good shots. Of course at these gym meets, flash photography is NOT allowed so here's the hard part. I will probably have to shoot at high ISO settings and use the exposure compensator, along with shutter priority mode so a lens with a low f-stop will be in order.
And yes, the Cannon 8500 has been discontinued. My preference is to get a printer with at least 6 colors preferably 8. Anybody got any suggestions?
I really like the D70s. Thanks guys for all the comments!!
