A friend of mine (in the Nikon camp, but nonetheless still a friend ) also had a D70 at that time - a very capable camera as I recall (as you've demonstrated, obviously!)

Thank you. It took me quite a time to be convinced that I would have to abandon my beloved Olympus OM system and change to digital, after more than 30 years with Kodachrome and FP4. I chose Nikon because I was doing a lot of aquarium photography and the Nikon flash system suited my needs much better than the one from the grey lens company. That's a decision that you can only make once, unless you are a pro or seriously rich: as it happens it's been several years since I took a flash photo
I have been reviewing my D70 photos in the past few days - I still like a few of them, but I do notice that the auto white balance could shift around a bit. Of course the raw files can be processed again and they look better now as I have 10 years experience and modern software (I use Capture NX-D and Photoshop CS5).

I drifted quite smoothly into the Canon digital world, having used Canon EOS 5 film cameras for landscape work for several years previously (often with Velvia, in my case ). I had a handful of Canon lenses, and so started with a 350D, using it side-by-side with the film cameras until I upgraded to a 5D, at which point I considered the quality was good enough that I could ditch film.

Yes, I've tried re-processing some older raw files: the modern software -- and experience -- can make quite a difference (personally, I can't imagine life without Lightroom!)
