Why I didn't get the D70:

~Nikon has really bad customer service.
~Not very good software, and compatability with other software (Photoshop)
~It doesn't have a crazy dust removal filter like the one Olympus patented, which is extremely handy. Cleaning a DSLR takes weeks when sent away, and the people doing it often fuck up your camera.
~It's only 6 megapixel, mine is 8.
~It costs more because it's a Nikon (I saved $400 and got 2 lenses instead of 1)

What's good about the Nikon is that it has a clearer 800 ISO. That's the only thing that I thought was all that impressive.

I have considered Canon. If I had more money I'd get a 20D. It's definitely more about marketing. Olympus has been around forever but not too many people know about them.

Most stores seemed to agree that the Olympus is better than the Rebel XT, but I didn't do much research into it. The 2 lens deal, and the dust filter sold me.
