My Canon G2 camera quit working after it got rained on. I bought a Canon A75 but the A75 pictures are blurry. I was looking at the camera ratings and the Nikon D70 with lens seems like a good camera. Has anyone tested a Nikon D70? I might buy one but I'm not sure. The Nikon D70 is expensive.
I always take a lot of pictures during the holidays. My Canon A75 pictures are out of focus and blurry. I know I either want to buy a Canon G6 or a Nikon D70. Both cameras are have high prices.

something is wrong w/ your A75, I have an A80, and it produces some of the best pictures I've ever seen from a Point and shoot camera.

I agree with Rara. I have an A75 and it takes great pictures. Is the camera in a semi/manual mode and the settings are not appropriate for the specific conditions? Try full auto mode for a while. If that doesn't yield soem good pictures, exchange for another.

I just got a Canon Digital Rebel and 2 lenses, with rebates totaling $390. Great pictures. You can't beat the focus and shutter speed of an SLR!! Plus, with it being a Canon EOS, there are lenses galore to choose from.

I agree, an SLR is phenominal (usually) but most people really don't need the expanse and hassle (due to size) of an SLR.
That said, I would LOVE to have a Canon G6 and a proper set of lenses . . .

the d70 is a very nice camera - very compact for a dslr. If you pick up a digital rebel, then pick up the nikon, i guarentee you'll buy the nikon. The rebel is cheaper buy several hundred dollars, but it's plastic! canon's 10d is a little less expensive on ebay because it was released earlier than the d70. They can be had for less than $900.00. Belive me - i bought my 10d off ebay for 850 bucks - less than 6 months old and less than 1000 shots on it. A few months ago - you couldn't even buy a d70 - you were put on a waiting list.
There are alot of deals to be had if you don't mind buying used. If you plan on buying new - espesially a dslr - most pro camera stores offer a 30 day exchange policy, allowing you to upgrade or downgrade - no problems. Good luck shopping, and compare prices.
Also if you need memory cards - right now at costco 512mb cards are only $64.99 - $10.00 instant rebate. crazy!
Let us know how you made out, and post your shots here for all to see.

that pic looks like you were taking it with a relatively long exposure, and moved the camera during the exposure.
