A comment on Capture NX: YoungOne is the first person I've ever heard (read) saying that NX is "fun". I'm sure it is for him, but for 100% of the others I've talked with, and judging from personal experience, it's really really bad. The user interface is alien compared to anything else on a PC or Mac. (Read here for a longer discussion: Old debate updated: Capture NX for D300)

Have fun with your D70; it's the camera I've been using for the past 2 years and I love it. First tip: it tends to underexpose a bit, so keep an eye out for that.

Thanks for the exposure tip. Good to find that out ahead of time.

Until I get more proficient with PS, ill probably keep the split ND. Ive always been pleased with the results I got with it. I really just use the basic settings with the program. I really need to take some time and learn a bit more about what it can do.
