Joan and Molly:
I've taken roughly 12,000 pictures with my D70 in the 18 or so months that I've owned it. It has been trouble free and I've loved it. I would have just chalked it up to rotten luck if I hadn't seen those identical symptoms in that log book.
You have to wonder when you get the same troubles brought into a little camera shop in Venice, Florida within a short period of time. Maybe there is some inherent problem.
I'm going to take the situation to the Nikon dealer here in Sarasota and see what kind of response I get.
This puts me back to my back up film camera for some time to come.

You might as well just get it fixed even at that price, because it's a great camera, and another one to replace it will cost more

Garth:
That's the hard truth isn't it. It is a great camera and I'm going to do a little more investigation first.
Carol:
My understanding is that if you eat lots of fiber and don't look at dirty pictures you may live forever.
I've been wondering aimlessly along the Florida beaches. They made me stop because I was scaring children and small dogs.
Hey Linda.

That's it?
We send you off with an Honorarium to find the Secret of Life, and that's what you've got for us?

Mike,
Ouch! I feel bad for you. You might as well just get it fixed even at that price, because it's a great camera, and another one to replace it will cost more.
Maybe you want to save up for the new Nikon D200, due out soon. That is really tempting me! My camera (D100, 3+ years) won't last forever with close to a hundred thousand shots logged on it (how long do these mechanical shutters last anyway?). Even the D70 is an upgrade from the D100 (better imaging algorithms)!
To Molly: Sorry about your problem too. Is yours simply a dust spot problem (and not a dead pixel problem)? That is common to all DSLR's. I have been there, cleaning mine many times. This is extremely risky business so you are right to have it professionally done.
One thing I learned the hard way: Never change a lens in Arizona!!!! I never saw such a dirty capture chip. (It's way too dusty in Arizona  )
Best wishes,
Garth
