i can't honestly see how anyone would find the N70 confusing, but i think everything's been said on the topic that needs to be said. then again, i think my old FM2 is much easier to use than the N70 or N90. i like knobs and dials... there is actually something on the N70 that i miss on the N90. another bonus of the N70 for infrared shooters: autobracketing with the 3.7fps drive! it's a bracketers dream since it is almost instant and can be done without removing your eye from the viewfinder. -bradley
