NIKON UPDATE: Reader Peter Gookins emails: “Based on your experience, and that reported by your blog readers, would you still recommend the D70, or the Canon?”

I don’t know of anyone else who’s had the autofocus problem I’ve had. More troubling is that the camera had just come back from being serviced for an autofocus bug, and they didn’t find it. The camera is otherwise superb, and still works fine in manual-focus mode. I cringe at the thought of sending it back again, though, particularly as it’s now out of warranty.
