"Great Camera but a little cheesy with that print button!"
Pros: spot metering, iso setting visible in viewfinder, 100,000 shutter cycles, 2.5" LCD screen, great picture quality, build quality
Cons: 3.5% spot metering (d70 has 1%), direct print button (it is only for new canon printers! Quite distracting presence if you don't plan to buy canon pixma pro9500 or 9000 printers!)
Summary: Great effort in including 3.5% spot metering. Perhaps canon's spot metering technology could not keep up with nikon's d70. It would have been excellent if they had come up with at least 2%. One way to deal with this is of course get one of the higher power zoon lens, like 24-105mm.
Why put direct print button? Especially when it only works with Canon Pixma Pro9500 or 9000? Might as well put "Buy our new printers" message under LCD screen! Plus I don't find such a button especially necessary since I normally would have to do some post work on my computer before I decide to print it.
