Hello Tanya, I think that you need to try the bodies. Usually, the lower end bodies have pretty good paper specs, but their handling is not all that good, especially when you start to manually control things. Before I bought mine, I went down and tried them several times. I had the advantage that I really didn't have much in the way of old Pentax stuff either. I found that for me, I much preferred the *istD over the Nikon D100 - which is a model above the D70. A simple example is the viewfinder. On the D70 it is supposed to be rather small, and the D100 is smaller than the *istD.
Also don't forget that the *istD flash synchs all the way up to 1/4000 with the AF360FGZ - I have used it for some of my wedding work. Not only that, it can do it wireless so that you don't have sloppy cables hanging around your flash bracket. It too, has Auto ISO setting, although I personally don't use it. Build quality and handling actually should count for quite a bit for someone like yourself who is going to heavily use it. Again, you should go try them (oops, the D70 isn't quite out yet) to see what really feels right to you. As for handling rotation, Ulead (www.ulead.com) photoexplorer has a rotation command. All the images are shown as thumbnails and you highlight the ones you want and then press the rotate button - and presto, it rotates all of them. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, January 28, 2004, 10:29:42 PM, you wrote: TMP> Bill said: TMP> "No. I set up an action in Photoshop to do the rotation."
