D70 goes on to live another life

When I first decided to upgrade to D300, I was pretty sure that I was going to keep my D70, primarily because I didn’t believe a used D70 was worth anything. To my surprise, after a little bit of digging on ebay, I realized I could recover almost $400 for it, considering that mine came with a lot of extras (two 1 gig CF cards, nikon remote, extra manual, extra LCD covers, extra battery, etc).

It was sad to see it go… I had it since the early 2005 - it was my first DSLR, and I learned so much about photography with this awesome camera… It traveled around the world with me, there isn’t a function on this camera I haven’t used… it has seen it all. But since I’ve got my new D300, D70 found itself just resting on my desk, collecting dust. I figured, since I can’t get anymore mileage from it, someone else might. That, and only that helped me to say good bye to this amazing piece of Nikon equipment… Good bye D70!
