Both are the heavyweights of the entry-level digital SLR¹ and both have its pros and cons. I don't think I have the rights and experience to lament which is good and which is not. Perhaps my dear readers can actually read through the review as provided by the below URL and gives it some justification.

Canon 20D vs. Nikon D70 Review Test

Thanks Mike for bringing this to my attention. I never realized that there are so many things that I left out when I'm comtemplating for the Nikon D70 purchase. However, I realized it was by pure luck as I purchased the camera that really suited me even though I never read through this particular review.

However, I can't help it but to notice two advices provided by the writer in terms of photography that I think should be shared to everyone reading this blog.

1. Image quality differences are a function of your skill in fine tuning each camera's adjustments and not the quality of each camera
2. The visible differences are in how you can adjust the different cameras, which becomes an issue of trying each camera and seeing if you can get your desired look with the adjustments provided.

Like I told Mike, it takes skill and not the tool that gives the result...
