20D vs. D70
If I had to choose between the D70 and the 20D, I would go for the 20D.... Can someone enlighten me on the feature set of 20D that makes it better than D70?...

Canon 20D vs Nikon D70
It's not exactly a world of difference, nor is the D70's viewfinder "bad", but if you switch back and forth, the 20D's is a bit better.... Just interested to know why you say that the 20D handles blown highlights better than the D70?...

20D Vs D70 decision time!!!!!!! [Archive]
If you are looking for resolution, speed, and specific "pro" features, the 20D will give you way more than the D70.... I know that you are comparing the 20D and the D70 (and the D70 from most accounts is a very nice camera) so why am I ranting about the D2Hs?...

Canon 20D vs. Nikon D70? [Page 2]
I can't put my finger on what exactly is the reason, but the Nikon D70 were much more a live and in higher quality than the Canon 20D.... So if somebody is on a budget, expects to shoot a lot of flash photography and likes Nikon then the D70 is better then the 20D...

D70 vs 20d. No contest? [Archive] - Canon Digital Photography Forums
I can say from experience that I do not notice any difference between Nikon's D70 and Canons 20D's image quality...... I always thought that the D70 is more comparable to the 350D rather than the 20D......

20D vs. D70 [Page 1]
I believe that the choice between 20D and D70 comes down to personal preference more than anything..... Some things are better on the 20D and some are better on the D70....

Canon 20D vs Nikon D70
The possibility of a bit more crop, a bit lower noise at high ISO, and a speed of the 20D are the points of the $500 more, but to me these advantages over the D70 don’t justify the extra money.... Of course the first point to begin a comparison between the two cameras is the price 20D $1500, D70 $1000, which could be a limit for a lot of consumers....

D70 vs. Canon 20D [Page 6]
But I haven’t seen too many 10/20D’s and/or D70’s users among hard core journalists or at pro sports events.... rat's a$$ about 20D vs D70 and vise versa (no offense meant for the original poster)....

Canon 20D vs. Nikon D70? [Page 7]
the D70 has a better buffer what are you smokin the 20D can take way more raw or jpegs in burst mode than the 70 you unless im mistaken about what the buffer is... While partial metering in the 20D is maybe 9%, I can guarantee you spot metering in the D70 is NOT 5%....

20D vs. D70 noise comparision?
com clearly show that the 20D outresolves the D70 in detail, and without the moire patterns that show up on the D70 at its resolution limit.... I'd say the image quality difference between the D70 and D100 is far more dramatic than the difference between D60 and 10D, if there is indeed any....
