Replacement for D70 (it will be called D70s and will appear soon) will not be a reason for a new price war. Both - Nikon and Olympus plan to release something even chepaer very soon. AFAIK Nikon will call it D50 and it will be much cheaper than D70... It should appear around April or May. If the rumours come true - that would mean price range around 500-600 EURO(!) At last DSLRs would become available to almost everyone. Let's hope Pentax will catch up.
