A while ago I found I really needed a second body. The one I wanted (the D750) did not exist yet, I had just bought a 500mm an was a bit short on cash, ... so came to a D70s.
First impressions:
- louder shutter
- less cropping
- bad screen compared to the D7000
Second impressions:
- some trouble with the buttons compared to the D7000
More pushed recently:
- AF hunts a lot more then with D7000
- could not manual focus with backlight like I could on the same scene with the D7000
- metering is gone when no feedback from the lens (D7000 on M gives metering)
But this does not tell the story: The D70s + some old lenses makes a great package, for on screen use, this is sufficient. You need more technique and knowledge + planning, but there is no issue to get great pictures. I love it, it is a fun to shoot an share.
