My bride has a Nikon D70 with a variety of lenses. I bought for her when I was going bankrupt from developing her 35mm film!
She shoot mainly nature: sunrises, sunsets, wildlife - particularly raptors, deer, foxes, and rare birds - and grandchildren.
I use it a little bit to shoot motorcycles, autos, and nature.
fishnbanjo, my sister has a Nikon D90, but she won't let me touch it (of course, given what they cost, that's probably just as well). Then again, I probably wouldn't know what to do with something as advanced as that.
The only thing about my little 6MP point&shoot that I wish I could change, would be that it only has a 3x optical zoom....and the digital zoom, at least on this camera, really sucks. So if I am trying to get some wildlife in a shot, I really have to try and be sneaky-quiet to get close enough....and I'm not as nimble as I was 40lbs ago, so it's not easy.
I won a competition a while back using my 5mp N97 phone this was my pic
Guess what the prize was ........................
A 3mp digital camera with a model name I don't know how to spell or pronounce
I loved my D70 it gave me confidence after a long hiatus from shooting, when I purchased my D2x and got by the steep learning curve of that camera I sold the D70 to a friend and he, and his bride, are having a ball with it, great camera.My bride has a Nikon D70 with a variety of lenses.

noobvious, I still have stealth in the woods even with my illness, when I deer hunted I was so invisible I had deer walk to within 4' of me and not figure me out, took a lot of effort to stop myslef from shaking.
Great photo! No matter what the prize was the real prize is the photo itself!!
I have won 2 contests with this photo and have been encouraged to place it in another.
I also won the LL Bean Customer Photo Contest with this one and it was in one of their catalogs, it won over $500 in prizes most of which my wife stole from me.
Great stuff from both PooManUK and fishnbanjo!
Being at the right place at the right time is everything.
Here's one taken from the boat the day we saw the bald eagle. All I did is resize this with Irfanview to be forum-size friendly. I think a lot of my pics are more due to my being in the right place at the right time than anything else, because I really don't know what the heck I am doing.
I think that the argument that digital is not "real" photography has pretty much completely died for anything other that very large format. FINALLY :)
