Default Nikon D70

I take my own photographs for all of my photos. [Still trying to justify the two years of photography school way back when.]

Anyway, for my birthday this year I was given a Nikon D70 Digital Camera. I plan to do some additional research but wanted to ask if anyone here is/was using that camera for their real estate photography and is there anything I should know about the camera's features or software that might be of help in my efforts? [Ex: virtual tours, etc.]

I'm trying to avoid the, "If I would have known then what I know now" syndrome.

Nobody? Ok, back to the manual it is.

BTW, if anyone wonders about the quality of photo this thing puts out here's a Photo I took this weekend.

Keep in mind I was using a manually focused 35mm fixed focal length lens. [My new auto focus lens hadn't arrived yet.]

Also, the image quality setting was on the second to lowest [low quality] setting. I don't even want to know what the highest setting would look like.

Yup! With nothing more than a old fashioned manual focus standard size [35mm] lens.

My other camera is a Nikon F3HP with some killer lenses. When I found out I could use those lenses on this camera I was more than pleasantly suprised.

Yeah, it is nice, but then again if there is a digital SLR that you like that is not compatible with your lenses, that is kind of a bummer. Fortunately, the Canon SLRs are nice

Canon makes some of the best cameras and lenses available. I would take either one.

What suprised me is how high you can magnify this image and still have decent quality. The digital cameras I've been using over the years don't even come close to the D70.
