I got my D100 just a few months before the D70 came out and I am quite
envious of some of its features and its kit lens. The 24-85/3.5-4.5 is
quite nice, but the the wider angle of the 18-70 would have been great.
I may get it for that bit of extra stretch. The 70-200VR was great on
my Alaska trip for all those pix from moving trains, boats, bush planes
and helicopters. Very cool lens, but large and heavy. Haven't used the
12-24 a lot yet.
Will wait for the D200. :-)
