I've had the D70 for about a year and a half now. Takes great pictures, good battery life, a pleasure to use. But when we went to Italy last spring I bought a used S1 IS on eBay for a couple hundred. Why? Small, 10x zoom (very handy), takes tv quality video. If I were in the market today I'd seriously consider one of the new SLR-like models. In good light they will take pictures equal to a DSLR for all but the most demanding photographer. FinePix S6000, S9100, or Lumix FX50. Anybody have SLR-like experience they can share?
