[QUOTE="nickt, post: 582464, member: 4923"] A d7100 or a d7200 is where I would be looking. You might be tempted to look at d33x0 and d5x00 families. While great cameras, you might be frustrated by the very different user interface since you lived with the d70 for so long. No focus motor either on these bodies if you have older lenses to support. I had a d70. I used it many years, then I got tired of carrying it around. I saw a great deal on a d3100. Small, light, relatively cheap. It got my interest back, but in a year or so, I was missing all the controls that I enjoyed on my d70. I ended up moving from the d3100 to a d7000 and immediately felt at home again. Since you mention more frames per second... there was some unhappiness with the small buffer on the d7100 when shooting raw. With a decent card, I don't think its a big deal, but do look into it for yourself. You can find videos on youtube showing the d7100 performance with different sd cards. Just search 'd7100 buffer'.
