I am also looking to buy and was torn between the Canon EOS300D and Nikon D70. However on holding them both the Nikon seemed much easier in the hand. So with that in mind along with your comments I think it is the D70 for me.
I also need a camera which is fairly rugged (for jungle use) and I think the Nikon is superior in this regard.
Biggles, did you get yours as a package or did you have to buy the lenses separately?
