What I found is that for most of my "day light" shots I take for profession reasons are good enough with my Nokia Lumia camera. In fact most of the time its 5MP camera is an over kill. Where D70 scores is in interchangeable lenses and low light especially with flash. So I tended to use the D70 less and less preferring the Phone camera for 99% of the time.Now I have bought a D3300. The reason was two fold. Have a good low light camera. Have a camera with a wide DR so that shadows can be recovered. Get a 24MP sensor so that I can crop at least 10MP portion out of it. That gives me tremendous latitude in framing (and distance from the subject), so that a single lense does the job for most of the time.Most of my lenses are the older type with screw drive AF, so they do not auto focus on the D3300. But in a week I have learnt how to get the focus spot on using the inbuilt range finder. The reason I have to use the range finder is that I have high power glasses and the diopter adjustment is just out side the limit for me to judge the focus on the screen.With the price of the D3300 with the kit 18-55 VR-II ranging between 500 and 550 US dollars in India, it is quite an affordable option.So I suggest that instead of getting more lenses for your D70, get a new camera (I suggest D3300). Later you can acquire lenses as and when you require them. Else a kit lense is good enough for casual photography. There was a time when most of the SLR owners started with a 50mm kit lense and never acquired more lenses.</blockquote>
