For me the F70 is the most pleasant camera I've had in my hands yet. I've used quite a few (Nikons F401, F601, F801, F50, F65, F70, F80, D70, Canons EOS 5000, EOS 500, EOS 300, EOS 50E, EOS 350D, Minolta Dynax 500 ) but the total in-control feeling and handling of the F70 are just superb. At the age of 19 (1996) I've buyed my first Nikon, an F50, after training my photographic skills for years with two Eastern-German Practicas. I had worked all summer to earn the money and was thrilled with my new camera. I had looked at the F70 but didn't want to work all autum to pay for the few extra features. Boy, I was so wrong. Sure, the F50 gave me some of the best pictures ever, but when exchanging my F50 for a 2nd hand F70 about four years ago I was in for a big surprise. I really regretted not buying the F70 in the first place. So quick and easy to use when gotten used to. The total feeling of "being in control" of your pictures, unlike with other AF SLR's (including the more modern ones). I'm planning on buying a D70 (or probably the newly announced D80), but will never do away my beloved F70. Oh, yes. For me the F70 is the most pleasant camera I’ve had in my hands yet.
